  1. WPC VS. WOOD: THE BETTER CHOICE EVERWOOD

  2. Today, one of the most popular materials in the construction business replacing natural wood is Wood Plastic Composite (WPC). WPC contains a blend of recycled wood flour and plastic materials. It is bound by resins. Although it does not have a natural wood texture, its appearance is similar. Moreover, it can withstand harsh weather conditions and last much longer than wood.

  3. If you’re searching for a material right for your outdoor decking, here’s a comparison between WPC and wood. ● The installation of WPC is quick and easy. Natural wood requires finishing with polish, or homeowners need to use pre- finished wood. ● WPC may seem more expensive initially, but its low maintenance requirements outweigh the initial upfront cost. ● WPC is more durable than natural wood. It is weather-resistant and not affected by heat, snow, or water. Therefore, it is more suitable for exterior applications. ● WPC is easy to mould into different shapes and sizes. It does not require any further polishing or painting. On the other hand, natural wood needs to be cut into the required sizes before polishing and painting.

  4. ● WPC is splinter-free and split resistant, while natural wood is not. ● WPC is termite-proof, rot-proof, and resistant to insects. ● WPC uses recycled plastic and waste wood. Therefore, it is a sustainable material. It does not lead to the cutting of trees, while wood results in deforestation. ● It offers more colour selections, giving your WPC outdoor decking floor an aesthetic appeal. ● The hybrid material possesses the characteristics of both wood and plastic. It works like plastic with the quality of wood. Conversely, wood is a natural material and requires the expertise of professional carpenters to achieve a good finish.

  5. FINAL THOUGHTS FINAL THOUGHTS FINAL THOUGHTS You may find WPC costly, but in the long run, it is more cost-effective. It lasts much longer than wood and demands little to no maintenance. It does not deform due to harsh weather conditions. Moreover, its average lifespan is between 15 and 20 years compared to 3 to 5 years for natural wood. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the better choice for exterior applications.
