Advantages of WPC Decking
Here are the advantages of WPC decking :
Requires low maintenance
WPC decking requires little or no maintenance at all because its capable of withstanding the effects of harsh natural elements. It can therefore maintain its beauty for a number of years. The case is different with traditional wood decks. Wood-plastic composite decks do not rot, warp, discolor, twist, fade, or attract bugs. Natural timber requires regular oiling and staining and this can prove to be costly. Composite decking doesn't need regular painting, staining or sealing and it's able to resist weathering, warping and damage by UV rays.
Provides more safety
Unlike other wood decking materials, WPC decking is splinter-free and slip resistant. These qualities make a home safe for kids and pets as it is safer to walk on bare-footed.

Harsh weather conditions during summer, spring and winter cause a lot of damage leaving them faded, rotten, splintered and warped. Wood-plastic composite decks undergo a rigorous manufacturing process to ensure consistent, little-maintenance and exceptional decking performance.

No matter how well wood decking is maintained, it will need replacement in less than 5 years.
