There is something liberating about spending time outside on a deck. Whether you make it a private retreat shaded by vegetation or an energetic entertainment area complete with a built-in BBQ, this outdoor living space is often the most enjoyable area of a home. It can increase the value of your home by about 70% to 75%.

Outdoor decks not only provide a place to relax or host get-togethers in warmer weather, but they also add value to your home. When it comes to outdoor living, many homeowners are choosing low-maintenance, eco-friendly Wood Plastic Composite decking over traditional wood planks or pressure-treated wood to build the perfect outdoor space.

This guide on the most popular WPC decking materials will help you gain more awareness.

What is Wood Plastic Composite decking?

Composite decking is a hybrid product that is made from wood fibers and recycled plastic. The result is a dense, durable, weather and stain-resistant deck board that won’t splinter, warp, rot, or split - unlike traditional timber which can succumb to all of these problems.

WPC material is a new type of eco-friendly and energy-saving composite materials, substitute for wood. It is environmentally rated in the ECO class, which is by far the most rigorous environmental standard. It is also recyclable. You can recycle it after use. It has all the features of green environmental protection as well as sustainable development.

The benefits of Wood Plastic Composite decking

There are huge advantages of WPC decking, and choosing to use this material for your outside space makes a lot of sense, and here is why:

● WPC decking boards never have to be sealed, stained or painted - saving you money and time.

● Due to how it is made, splinters and cracks that can occur with traditional wooden decking are a thing of the past.

● Unlike wood decking, WPC decking planks do not rot.

● WPC decking boards are weather-resistant and outperform wood alternatives on fade resistance.

● No issues with warping or cracking (unlike some plastic decking).

● With no need to maintain or replace, this all means you’ll make considerable savings over the lifespan of the deck.
