The role of performance plastics continues to expand into the areas where we live, play, work, and relax. Plastics offer broad ranges of textures, colors, and compatibilities that are simply unmatched by other materials. That is why using plastics for furniture and various designs remains a key to the success of many designers and fabricators.
Our Material Selection
At Piedmont Plastics, we provide the best material selection on the market from some of the most well-known brands in the industry. This wide palette of options allows designers and fabricators to create almost anything they can imagine. For example, HDPE sheet is used extensively in outdoor furniture and kitchens, while acrylics give a contemporary look and feel to indoor furniture, reception areas, and even the set of your local TV station.
Recent advances in embedment technology have also expanded this creative range to include materials not historically associated with plastics. Plastics are widely used in the design of restaurants, workspaces, hospitals, and retail environments. From the beach to the boardroom, Piedmont is ready to help you solve your design challenges.
