Heatforming and Board Reparation

« Back to Glossary Index

PVC boards or boards with a polyethylene shell can be heated to be brought back to their original form.

If a PVC board has been scratched or dented, the damage can often been repaired by heating the affected area (usually with a heat gun).

The heat softens the plastic in the decking material, while expanding the microscopic bubbles in the decking to bring it back to its original form.
