What is the difference between WPC deck floor and ordinary wood flooring?

WPC deck floor can effectively eliminate the natural defects of real wood, featuring waterproof, fire-resistant, high mechanical performance, strong corrosion resistance, and high pollution resistance. It does not crack or deform. It also requires no maintenance or upkeep, is easy to clean, can be recycled and reused, and its surface has been specially treated so it can be used directly without painting.

Is WPC deck floor really waterproof? Can it be used around water environments?

WPC deck floor can indeed be used around water environments. The water absorption rate of WPC deck floor is only 0.24%, which is much lower than that of ordinary wood flooring. This low absorption rate allows WPC deck floor to be used in water environments. One of its raw materials is HPDE plastic particles, which provide excellent waterproofing during use.
