WPC Co-Extruded Decking
WPC decking is typically composed of natural wood powder, plastic (usually recycled plastic), and various additives such as colorants, stabilizers, and binding agents. The exact composition can vary by
manufacturer, but the general idea is to combine wood and plastic to achieve a balance between aesthetics, performance, and environmental considerations. This combination of materials aims to create a decking
material that offers the appearance of wood while also providing the benefits of plastic, resulting in a more durable and low-maintenance outdoor decking option WPC decking offers several advantages over traditional wood decking, such as increased durability, lower maintenance needs, and environmental benefits. This type of decking has gained popularity as a versatile and sustainable option for outdoor spaces. Its blend of wood fibres and plastic creates a balance between the natural aesthetic of wood and the enhanced strength and resistance
of plastic.
