Frequently Asked Questions
WPC boards will not bend if the correct density is selected for your specific application. We always ensure we recommend the appropriate density based on your intended use to ensure long-lasting stability.
WPC boards are versatile and can be finished in multiple ways:
- Painted
- Coated
- Digital printed
- Varnished
- Laminated
Yes, WPC boards can be confidently screwed and nailed into place. They offer excellent screw holding capacity. When using bolts, it's recommended to use larger washers to better distribute the load across the board surface.
While WPC requires significantly less maintenance than natural wood, it still benefits from basic care. Regular cleaning and protecting from harsh chemicals will help maintain its appearance and durability.
Like most materials exposed to sunlight, WPC may experience some color fading over time. However, modern WPC products often include UV stabilizers that significantly reduce fading. Additionally, protective coatings can be applied to further prevent color degradation.
WPC is highly water-resistant but not completely waterproof. Its composite nature makes it much more resistant to moisture than natural wood, making it excellent for outdoor applications and wet areas.
WPC often uses recycled materials in its production, including recycled wood fibers and plastics. This makes it an environmentally conscious choice. Additionally, its durability means less frequent replacement, reducing long-term environmental impact.
WPC can be manufactured to match or exceed the strength of natural wood, depending on the density and composition. When proper density is selected for the application, WPC provides excellent structural stability and load-bearing capacity.
No, WPC is highly resistant to termites and other wood-boring insects due to its plastic content. This makes it an excellent choice for regions where termite infestation is a concern.
WPC is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures. However, like all materials, it can expand and contract with temperature changes. Proper installation with appropriate expansion gaps helps accommodate these natural movements.
