eSite Hoarding Panel is a UK made alternative to imported plywood, produced entirely from 100% recycled plastic. eSite is an operationally, commercially and environmentally superior choice, giving the following benefits to users:

•Flat with no face defect issues

•Impervious to rain and humidity and can be stored outdoors

•No painting needed to protect it, but it can be painted

•Available in corporate colours

•Both sides are "A" faces

•Can be jet-washed between uses

•Strong and stiff

•High fixing strength it can be nailed, screwed and glued

•Standard sizes: 2440mm x 1220mm

•Generally lighter than plywood

•Is Formaldehyde-free

•Cut edges do not need to be resealed

•Cuts with standard tools, yet without splinters or breakout

•Face repairs are easy and effective

•Cost is similar to plywood

•At end-of-life boards can be returned to us for recycling, thereby avoiding disposal cost

Sawing - We recommend TCT bladed circular saws, they cut well with minimal friction. We can recommend the DeWalt 1206 TCT and the Evolution Fury TCT blades. There is little or no breakout when using these saw blades. EcoSheet produces a plastic swarf when cut.

Drilling - EcoSheet drills well with most drill bits, but we recommend HSS bits especially. Wood bits also give a good result. Holes are best cut by wood spade cutters. Pilot holes are not needed. EcoSheet can be countersunk, although this is not usually needed with posi screws.

Fillers - For a good colour match to standard EcoSheet we can recommend Isopon Bumper Fill from Halfords. Products such as Ultima Plastic Padding and Isopon P38 also worked well. The only wood filler that worked was Ronseal High Performance wood filler.

Routing - EcoSheet can be CNC routed, using a tungsten carbide head.

Edging - EcoSheet can be edge-banded.

Profiling - EcoSheet can be profiled, although remember that the structure of the panel means that the strength is in the skin and the core is foamed and will not give a smooth edge.

Laminating - High Pressure Laminates (HPL) can be bonded to the face using Bostik Aquaseal 29952.

Gluing - We recommend Loctite 3038 for general fabrication work. Sikaflex 552 will bond when used on the face.

Screwing - Self tapping posi screws take and hold well without pilot holes.

Nailing - Round wires and ring shanks work well. Nail guns can be used provided they are set to a 'flush' setting and you are fixing the EcoSheet board into timber.
