WPC decking is a blend of robust plastic or polymer compositions and wood fibers, known as wood-plastic composite. These boards are very easy to install and do not require sealing or impregnation. WPC boards are a popular choice for balconies and terrace floors because they are environmentally friendly, have the beautiful appearance of wood, and are comfortable for bare feet. This is especially important if you have small children. Today, we provide information on the advantages and disadvantages of WPC decking, along with tips for laying it on the balcony.
Tips for laying WPC decking
With WPC boards, you can make your outdoor space comfortable and durable. The advantages of using this material are clear. Installing WPC decking is an easy task, even for beginners. You can save time and money because you do not need to hire specialist craftsmen. A solid substructure is especially important during installation. You can use impregnated timber or steel as a stable foundation, then fix the boards to the frame. The material can be worked like wood: it can be sawn and screwed. WPC decking can also be used for flower pots or fences. Like any good surface, it must be carefully maintained. Sweep away dust and dirt regularly, and use high pressure or a hard-foam cleaner for stubborn dirt. One small tip: always brush in the direction of the grain.
WPC Decking – Advantages and Disadvantages
One disadvantage of WPC boards is their durability. Their lifespan may not be as long as you would like. Wood-plastic composite is generally robust, but weather conditions such as rain and UV rays can damage it over the long term. Since the boards often have cavities, they are not as stable as real wood. Plastic decking also does not always match the color effect of natural wood. It may resemble typical characteristics such as grain and color, but on closer inspection the difference can quickly become visible.
