TO THIS
IMT products are extremely durable, require no maintenance, and are guaranteed against environmental attack.
IMT products are equal in functional performance to single-grade solid plastic lumber and superior to wood-plastic composites. IMT material is ideal for earth-buried and water-submerged uses, and for all types of outdoor construction.
Major advantages of IMT construction products are that no foundation is required and the material does not support combustion.
