When decorating the balcony floor, many owners are struggling with the issue of material selection. Plastic wood composite materials (WPC) have become a popular choice in recent years. Is this new building material that combines wood fiber and plastic worth buying? We analyze it in detail from the perspective of actual use.
The most prominent advantage of plastic wood flooring is that it is particularly durable. Ordinary wooden floors are prone to cracking and deformation after two years, but WPC materials are mixed with plastic components and are not afraid of rain soaking. The 40-degree sun exposure in summer and the sub-zero cold in winter will not cause the board to crack or warp. The key lies in the material formula: plastic wraps wood fiber, which not only retains the texture of wood, but also avoids the weaknesses of natural wood.
Compared with traditional antiseptic wood floors, the maintenance of plastic wood is simply too easy. In the past, solid wood floors had to be regularly brushed with wood wax oil. Now, you only need to flush them with a water pipe every week and wipe stubborn stains with a detergent to clean them. For busy people or families with elderly and children, this maintenance-free feature is very worry-free.
The surface treatment technology of plastic wood flooring on the market is becoming more and more mature. From imitation of real wood grain to old effect, even customized colors can be used. In addition, the anti-slip texture treatment makes it non-slip even if you step on it barefoot. It is especially suitable for owners who like to arrange green plants on the balcony and create a leisure area.
Many manufacturers now focus on the concept of recycled materials, turning waste plastics and sawdust into treasure. Although the environmental performance cannot be compared with pure solid wood, considering that the service life starts at least ten years, it reduces the waste of resources caused by frequent replacement, and the cost is still cost-effective.
Overall, plastic wood flooring is particularly suitable for ordinary residential balconies. Whether it is an enclosed balcony for laundry area or an open balcony for tea room, this durable and beautiful material can hold up.
