Questions to Ask When Looking for WPC as Decking Material

If composite decking in Campbellfield is something new to you, here are some questions and their answers regarding this amazing decking material that will help you decide when building your dream outdoor deck.

 

What is WPC?

 

WPC, or Wood Plastic Composite, is a building material for decks and outdoor structures. It is man-made and made of wood fibre or wood pulp with plastics.

 

What is WPC made out of?

 

As said before, WPC is made out of wood and plastic mainly. The wood used is often sustainable, and the plastic is recyclable. Generally, the percentage of wood varies from 40 to 60% and plastic from 60 to 40%. Also used in it are bonding agents, colouring agents and UV inhibitors.

 

What is the difference between this kind of wood and standard wood?

 

As said before, WPC is made up of timber and plastic. So, it gives all that is good about timber but none of its disadvantages like decaying, termite attack, moulding, etc. It may look costly when you install it. Still, it needs very little maintenance over the years, which balances out the initial investment. Many people used to shy away from WPC because they looked artificial and didn’t have that natural wood look everyone craved. But thanks to recent innovations, you can find WPC with natural wood finish today.

 

Why is using WPC as a decking material better than natural wood?

 

It has none of the disadvantages of natural wood; as mentioned above, using WPC is also beneficial for the environment as it is made of non-biodegradable plastics. Recycling plastics saves our oceans and landfills from being overfilled with plastic waste. Even the wood used is sourced in a very sustainable manner.

 

What is the biggest advantage of using WPC as decking material?

 

The biggest advantage of WPC as a decking material is it’s moisture-resistant. That means if you have a swimming pool, jacuzzi or spa, you can use it to build your outdoor deck around it. Furthermore, any structure near water, like a jetty, can be built using WPC. It will not warp, splint, crack or rot like natural wood, even with daily contact with water.

 

Now that you know in detail about WPC, it is time to contact your top WPC Decking company in Campbellfield and construct your dream outdoor deck.
