Is WPC Decking Maintenance-free?
No. Though WPC decks need only minimal upkeep, but they still need to be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. Monthly maintenance is required to keep your WPC Decking in good condition and last longer.
Let's check how to clean it in different circumstances as following:
1.Dirt and Debris
To eliminate the dirt and debris on the surfaces of WPC decking, spray the affected area with a hose of water. For the purpose of cleaning dirt and debris from the embossing pattern of decks, pls use warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush.
2.Oil and Food Spills
Any oil or food spills should be cleaned up right away. Spills on te embossing design of WPC decking should be cleaned up with a hose, warm, soapy water, and a soft bristle brush. If it is still hard to clean up, it will be better to use stainless steel scrubber with WPC special cleaner to clean it.
3.Ice and Snow
To clear snow and ice from WPC Decking, use a plastic shovel. For the purpose of melting snow and ice off the surface of decking, use calcuium chloride and rock salt.
Best Color Ideas and Design For 2024
If you are renovating your backyard, deck color ideas could be on your list of considerations. After all, a deck may be the center point of a design, so it's worth thinking about which color is ideal for you to maximize its potential.
Perhaps you're seeking deck ideas to improve your current deck. It's original color may have faded with time, necessitating a deck color refresh.
Even if that's not the case, a different decking color might be significantly more appealing. It's feasible to modify your outdoor environment by painting your deck a fresh color.
The deck is composed of composite, yet it has the appearance of wood. The boards come in a variety of colors, ranging from a darker, warm chocolate brown to mid-toned orange.
Even if the material isn’t natural, the look is natural because of the multiple hues. When a color is excessively consistent, it might appear unnatural. It also adds texture and depth to the deck, which may be visually pleasing.
Newmet color options for classic deck
Newmet color options for Co-extrusion deck
1. Comparison of the raw materials of NEWMET WPC DECKING and real wood deck: The raw materials of NEWMET WPC DECKING are mainly wood flour and HDPE plastic, new green environmental protection profiles extruded at high temperature. real wood deck is a ground decoration material formed by drying and processing natural wood, which is non-toxic.
2. Comparison of the physical properties of the NEWMET WPC DECKING and real wood deck: The surface of the WPC decking has a different tooth surface, which increases the friction coefficient and is non-slip. Therefore, the plastic wood deck is used for balcony, kitchen, and bathroom in home decoration. The surface of the solid wood deck will be polished. The cover is smooth and easy to slip. It is used indoors and in living rooms.
3. Comparison of post-maintenance between NEWMET WPC DECKING and real wood deck: Plastic wood flooring is easy to maintain and generally only requires soapy water cleaning to maintain freshness.
real wood deck requires more attention, including annual painting, sealing, and inspection to replace deformed or rotten boards
The combination of wood and plastic results in an exceptionally robust and dimensionally stable material.
Color stabilizers ensure high color stability in the through-colored decking boards. However, due to the high proportion of natural materials, slight color variations may occur. After exposure to the weather for a few months, the boards will reach their final color, which will then remain unchanged.
WPC is a moisture-resistant composite material. It can withstand significant temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for outdoor use.
Since the wood used in WPC comes from wood industry by-products, WPC is environmentally friendly. Only common plastics are used in its production. Therefore, WPC boards are recyclable.
WPC is a homogeneous and dense material. When fungicides are added to it, it becomes resistant to insect and fungal infestation.
If WPC boards are exposed to direct sunlight, they heat up faster than wooden boards. Light-colored boards heat up less than dark-colored ones.
The surface of WPC boards is splinter-free and therefore very barefoot-friendly. These boards are also more slip-resistant than wooden boards when wet.
Scratches and stains do not penetrate the homogeneous material of WPC as easily as they do in the case of wooden boards. You can remove stains more easily.
WPC boards are easy to maintain and require no special care.
The expansion of WPC boards is influenced by temperature and humidity. The plastic in the material mix responds to temperature differences, while the wood reacts to changes in humidity. This results in expansion and contraction behavior.
You can choose from various surface textures for your terrace boards to enhance their aesthetics.
(1)Grooved Decking Boards
The grooved surface is the classic option. It is slightly more slippery than the smooth surface because water can accumulate in the grooves.Their surface presents a woody texture, close to nature
(2) Embossed Decking Boards Divided into 2D embossing and 3D embossing
2D embossed:This pattern is printed and dyed at high temperatures, and in general, the pattern can last up to one year
3D embossed：This pattern lasts for a long time and will never disappear for life
(3)CO-EXTRUSION
The co-extrusion process involves layering an outer shell or cap over a core material, resulting in a decking board that is highly resistant to fading, staining, and moisture damage. The outer shell provides enhanced protection against UV rays, preventing color fading and maintaining the vibrant look of the deck over time. The core material, usually a composite of wood fibers and plastic, ensures structural integrity and stability.
