WPC board – what is it?

 

Such products are a popular type of boards used in the construction of decking and decorative exterior cladding of buildings and various structures. The manufacturing technology involves the use of artificial and natural raw materials – polymers and wood. This approach allows to achieve an optimal balance in terms of combining affordable price and long service life.

 

We offer to buy boards made of WPC (wood-polymer composite), which includes the following components:

• base made of wood or natural wood waste ground to flour;
• polymers to acquire the required properties – polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene;
• modifiers to give the final good strength and prevent the formation of pores inside;
• a variety of colorants to imitate surfaces in the shades that are most popular with potential buyers.

 

A quality WPC board is made by mixing all the above elements and forming the required width. Finally, the resulting blanks are cut to a certain width.

 

What are the advantages of WPC board?

 

The positive properties of modern material are noted both by professional builders and ordinary consumers:

 

• this structure is immune to damage, fungus and mold formation. There is no risk of rotting in high humidity conditions, destruction by insects and rodents;
• wood-polymer composite does not need any additional treatment, e.g. sanding, painting or varnishing;
• the anti-slip dpc board is convenient because it does not slip underfoot when wet. It is also safe to walk barefoot on the flooring, which in the case of natural wood would risk getting skid marks in the soles of the feet;
• hydrophobic – environmental moisture or condensation will not accumulate inside the material;
• operational life is up to 50 years;
• immunity to insect pests and various microorganisms.

 

It is also worth noting the extensive choice of textures and colors. In our catalog you can choose and buy WPC board in Wenge, natural wood, smoky gray, merbau and chocolate.

 

 

Tips for choosing a WPC board

 

The composition of the panels should correspond to the percentage of individual ingredients that ensure optimal technical characteristics of the material and its perfect appearance:

• the approximate content of polymers and wood is 50%/50%. Such a combination satisfies the conditions of polymer functionality and natural wood attractiveness;
• if the content of wood flour is higher than 70 percent, the product becomes prone to moisture absorption with deterioration of its working properties. In this case, the structure of the material has increased brittleness;
• buying plastic with polymers in the volume above 60% means a loss of aesthetics. Externally, the board completely resembles ordinary plastic.

 

Responsible manufacturers, such as «OleProf» company, carry out strict control of compliance of their products with quality standards, environmental safety and pleasant appearance.

 

Working with a reliable and responsible seller will help you buy WPC board for a wide range of design projects for elegant landscaping and beautiful building finishes!
