WPC decking Qualities and Advantages
1. Solid WPC board technology
Foam extrusion is an innovative technology that in itself represents a rich resource of potential new applications. Composed of several resins endowed with qualities that until now have remained unexplored territory, an ‘extruded foam’ substance may weight as little as 850 kg/m3– compared with 1,270 kg/m3 for board – while retaining all the qualities of durability and high mechanical resistance. Among its many applications, this material is ideally suited for high-quality thermal and acoustic insulation of facades.
2. Hollow WPC board technology
A pioneer in every sense of the word, the creator of wood plastic composite placed great emphasis on developing innovative production techniques. The first extruded forms of the material were solid boards. By changing technologies led to the first production of hollow boards. The boards became lighter, tougher, and faster to install than the solid boards. It was now possible to enlarge the cross-section, and in turn the load-bearing capacity, and this was key to wood plastic composite becoming an increasingly popular choice for major public construction projects. Recycled pine is reduced to wood fiber and purged of all humidity before being added to recycled polymer to create a perfectly homogeneous aggregate. Additives are blended in, and the resulting mixture is then heat extruded.
3. Weather resistant
Our boards are used in very diverse climates and under difficult conditions where exposure to extreme heat and sunshine, or constant humidity, are the norm. Its resistance to the effects of the sun has been rigorously tested in the laboratory, but the product’s stability under harsh conditions is also demonstrated by the lasting attractiveness of installations built in the tropics, which are subject to far longer and more intense periods of sunshine.
4. Boards color
Our WPC boards are supplied with a 10-year manufacturer’s limited guarantee, but still look as good as ever, unaltered in shape or appearance, after 15 years’ continuous use at hundreds of different sites. This kind of lifespan is unthinkable for natural wood (or inferior quality wood plastic composites) without the need for regular and laborious maintenance. Our WPC board has the advantage of being colored throughout its mass. The pigments and anti-UV agents impregnated during the manufacturing process continue to be effective in protecting the material from discoloration for decades, without the need for any maintenance or treatment.
The boards have all the warmth and beauty of exotic wood, even when seen at close quarters. Warm in appearance, our WPC board is soft to the touch, and closely resembles wood. Slightly granular in texture and protected by an exclusive surface treatment, the risk of slipping and falling is greatly reduced, even when the boards are wet. Impervious to water, and invulnerable to insects or fungi that feed on wood, WPC board has a ten-year limited warranty against rot, termites, splintering or cracking.
5. Infinitely versatile
Suitable for any climate, and stunning to look at, WPC boards lends itself to a multitude of different uses both outdoors and indoors: decking, pontoons, swimming pool surrounds, walkways, paths, steps, outdoor furniture or paneling, trellises, screens or louvered shutters, wood flooring or wall coverings, cladding, garden arbors or pergolas...
Warm and natural looking, it mimics the look and feel of natural wood to perfection. From flooring to ceilings and walls, the scope is endless thanks to the special mix of components and the heat extrusion process. Although currently in Europe, Asia, Middle East and Russia the main application is for decking and cladding, a fundamental change is taking place in the market with a sharp increase and a vast array of architectural features.
6. Easy to install
Our boards are very easy to install: the calibrated boards, accessories and fixing clips reduce laying times to half those required when installing hardwood decking or support structures. Using standard tools, even the most inexperienced installer can produce straight, neat cuts without splintering.
The boards are supplied with an ingenious system of invisible clips for easy laying and rapid dismantling, (if required) minimizing the number of screws needed. These clip fasteners allow the structure to expand and shrink while maintaining firm but elastic contact between the boards and their supporting structure. Our invisible clip system allows you to create simple, elegant and secure structures, while saving valuable time on assembly.
7. Minimal maintenance
Guaranteed knot-free, splinter-free, warp-free and with its invisible fixing system, we offer a safe, non-slip surface. The grained surface of the boards offers exceptional adherence. It requires no special maintenance and is easily cleaned using a high-pressure water jet or hose.
The boards can be worked and sanded just like wood, but the toxic treatments and polyurethane varnish needed to maintain natural wood are totally superfluous. Accidental spills or stains can be removed, and the original surface restored by sanding lightly with a fine -grade sandpaper.
