WPC(wood plastic composite) is a new sustainable and eco-friendly material made from a blend of natural wood fibers and high density PE. This material is now widely used in building materials, furniture, and decorative industries. Various wpc products are appearing. Decking is an essential and highly used product and wpc decking can bring us more benefits.
Normally, wpc decking is divided into two generations based on the technology of “co-extrusion”. You can figure out their differences from the producing process. Our factory established in 2010 and has more than 30 extruding lines in two workshops. Wood power, 100% recycled plastic and addictives are the raw materials for wpc decking. We have strict testing procedures, before producing, all materials need to be tested. For wood power, moisture content, size of particle and dust ash should be passed. For plastic, we test its melting index, and we choose and utilize the toxic-free addictives. And quality checking and testing will be well done before loading.
Then Let me say something about the production process, the First Step-granulation completes through mixing all materials mixed by a certain proportion and complete into granulate under a process high temperature and high pressure. Second Step- extrusion, the granulate is extruded to be WPC profiles on extrusion machine. and then the board will need to be cooling down to make sure its dimensional stability. WPC profiles will cut to be the required length and surface treatment, And then the Boards will be cleaning well ready for packing. Last step is packing the products with PE film and pallet. Normally, the width and thickness of decking are fixed, you can customized the length and usually is 2.2, 2.9, 3.6, 4.8, 5.4m.
What should be noted is that co-extrusion wpc decking is co-extruded with a protection layer. This ouyer layer is used by new material-plastic and it can be recycled as well. The outlayer made the co-extrusion wpc decking to be more waterproof, and with a updated surface which is very near as wood texture.
What i must to say is that After producing and finishing, our products are 100% quality inspected before loading and shippment to make sure that all the wpc decking is 100% good quality for our buyer.
WPC decking has many advantages. It is eco-friendly because the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) comes from the recycling of plastic waste, and the wood fibers come from sawdust from manufacturers such as furniture makers. Besides, it is resistant to UV rays, which can extend the lifespan of the decking. Our wpc decking’s expected lifespan is over 25years and we offer 15 years warranty. Moreover, it is children-friendly for free of toxic addictives, and it is pet and barefoot-friendly for it will not splinter or cracking making your home safer for bare feet and pets. Additionally, it is stable and durable for its high density. Low maintenance is another advantages of wpc decking, you can easily clean the stain on wpc decking than wood decking for it is water proof.
And there are many colors and design styles, including strip, smooth surface, flat, normal embossing, 3D online embossing, matt texture, wood vein and saw mark you can choose.
In addition, if you ask me why co extrusion decking is the most popular item, i should say that is because co-extrusion composite decking has improved many aspects of the first generation decking. Firstly, it has different surface finish and reversible profile for it’s a co-extruded decking and available for Double-sided. Secondly, co-extrusion decking is more stable because of the out layer. Thirdly, there are multi-chromatic colors or you can and some deckings can be bio-colors, which can improve the effective use of decking and the layer is stain and fading resistant. Fourthly, co-extrusion decking has a full coating and the water absorption rate of the coating is extremely low, which effectively prevents water from entering the core layer so that the board is not prone to mold. Fifthly, co-extrusion WPC is not only highly resistant to UV rays and atmospheric agents, it is also easy to process and particularly resistant to humidity and xylophagous insects, therefore, it’s very suitable for outdoor use. All in all, the co-extrusion wpc decking is the latest wpc decking which is updated from the traditional wpc decking, and the only reason for update is to give you more choice , so please just choice the right decking depends on your needs, all the wpc decking from KELAI is 100% high quality with Guarantee.
The installation of wpc decking is easy as well.KELAI advice you to install as per the installation instructions which can be find on our website, and you will need some hardware like stainless steel clips, T clips, etc. For more details please contact us to get the installation instructions.
WPC decking has a wide range of applications. Due to its characteristics and features of UV and rot resistance, water proof and anti slip, it can be used well outdoors. It can be applied in park, in swimming pool, in garden, in yards, in stairs or in balcony and etc. Its lifespan is long as well. Therefore, wpc decking is undoubtedly high cost-effective and it is the best choice for outdoor life space.
