Simulated Brick
Brick iteration manufactured using 100% post consumer mixed plastics, additionally adding sand + PVC skins to provide designated UV
specification plus mineral sands and natural mineral recycled pigment to produce texture and required colours. Approximately 48mm thick overall with cellular core. Natural Fibre Encapsulation
The range of materials able to be encapsulated is very significant. here natural fibres are encapsulated in Polyolefin skins. providing light weight insulation , and can be created with much thicker than shown here, to provide different opportunities for both reuse of polymers as well as utilising locally available fibres from agricultural origins.

Simulated Slate
Welsh grey slate simulation PFM panel using actual slate mineral dust to coat and texture the surface resulting in natural UV protection.
Panel core is cellular so insulates, and can be made in a range of thicknesses to suit applications like siding or roofing. Brick panel cross section
This cross section of approximately 60mm thick moulding shows the core materials matrix of a decorative brick pane which in part has been expanded to give light weight stiff panel as well as some increase in insulation. The matrix of different origins of polymers can clearly be seen, and the brick dust on the surface fives natural UV protection to such panels if used for exterior finishes.

Steel Reinforcement
Encapsulated steel mesh for high security applications, hidden strength, weatherproof and now very difficult to cut through even if found to be present.Panel was made from 100% PET bottle labels, bottle tops and neck rings plus small PET regrind too small to be used to manufacture new bottles.
PFM Interlocking Fence Panels.
PFM is not limited to flat panels , but can be moulded as in this illustration to make interlocking fence panels with whatever is desired as aesthetic finish es on the surface skins. Smooth finishes of desired colours can be engineered by using single colour polymers for exterior skins, whist the interior need not have colour, but can be "jazz" ( as in the brick iteration) reducing costs for the manufacturer as only the thin skins are needing expensive colour pigment, not the whole.
