WPC hollow decking is a new type of environmentally friendly material flooring that has become popular in recent years. It is a new type of flooring that is made mainly from wood powder and plastics or recycled plastics, and has the water-resistant and decay-resistant properties of plastics as well as the texture of wood. It is widely used in outdoor environments and has become a major material for beautifying outdoor environments.

Understanding WPC hollow decking

Multiple colors without paint. Some people may think that WPC hollow deckings also contain wood components, and therefore need to be painted in various colors like solid wood. Actually, that’s not the case. The plastic wood flooring itself comes with color and does not need to be painted separately. Moreover, the color of plastic wood can be preserved for a long time, and it basically does not fade.

Is plastic wood the same as PVC wood? What is its lifespan? The WPC hollow decking mentioned here is made from plastic wood. Plastic wood and PVC wood are two completely different materials. The main raw materials of plastic wood are plastics and wood powder or bamboo powder, while PVC wood is completely made of plastics. Therefore, the UV resistance and thermal expansion and contraction resistance of WPC hollow deckings are stronger than those of PVC wood, and they are also easy to be processed. According to experiments, if plastic wood is used correctly, it can last for 25 years without damage. Of course, different wood-plastic floorings have different lifespan. If it is WPC hollow decking, it may be used for 5 to 10 years, because people always step on it.

Maintenance of WPC hollow decking

Cleaning according to the types of dirt: Now WPC hollow deckings are generally used outdoors, such as in parks, scenic areas, courtyards and terraces. These places have a large flow of people, and it is easy to form ground pollution. When the floor is polluted, it is necessary to distinguish the types of dirt and use corresponding detergents for cleaning. For example, for mildew and fruit juice, detergents containing cleaning agents and sodium hypochlorite should be used, while for rust and dust, detergents containing phosphoric acid should be used. These detergents are not items that are restricted from purchase and are sold in daily sundries stores.

Correct use of wood-plastic flooring: Although WPC hollow deckings have plastic characteristics, such as being waterproof, moisture-proof, decay-resistant, insect-resistant, flame-retardant, and heat-insulating, it does not mean that they can be used incorrectly, such as placing a barbecue grill on it or lighting a bonfire on it.

Correct stacking of wood-plastic flooring: When installing WPC hollow deckings, all the goods that will be used may be purchased at once, so it is necessary to pay attention to correct stacking. When stacking, the ground should be flat and not uneven. Also, it should be kept away from high temperature, and carried instead of dragged on the ground when taking it.
