Why Can Wood Plastic Composite Flooring Be Used Outdoors?

WPC outdoor decking is widely known and seen in many areas such as parks, scenic spots, and lakesides, but people don't know much about its material and why it can be used outdoors for a long time. So, what are the characteristics of WPC outdoor decking?


The green and environmentally friendly nature of WPC outdoor decking


WPC outdoor decking is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic and renewable resource that has already been widely used in people's daily lives. Its main component is natural stone powder, and after being tested by national authoritative departments, it is confirmed to contain no radioactive elements, making it a new green and environmentally friendly ground decoration material. Any qualified indoor wood-plastic floor must pass the IS09000 international quality system certification and ISO14001 international green environmental certification.


Super wear-resistant and slip-resistant WPC outdoor decking


The surface of WPC outdoor decking has a layer of specially processed high-tech transparent wear-resistant layer. The surface of the floor is protected by a specially treated super wear-resistant layer, which fully guarantees the excellent wear resistance of the floor material. The thickness and quality of the wear-resistant layer directly determine the service life of the wood-plastic floor. Standard test results show that a 0.55 mm thick wear-resistant layer floor can be used for more than 5 years under normal conditions, and a 0.7 mm thick wear-resistant layer floor can be used for more than 10 years, so it is super wear-resistant. Because of its super wear resistance, it is increasingly popular in places with high human traffic such as hospitals, schools, office buildings, shopping malls, supermarkets, public transportation, and other places.


The wear-resistant layer on the surface of WPC outdoor decking has a special anti-slip property. Compared with ordinary floor materials, wood-plastic flooring is more slippery when wet, making it less likely to slip. Therefore, it is the preferred ground decoration material in public places with high safety requirements such as airports, hospitals, kindergartens, and schools, which has gradually become popular in many countries in recent years.


Fire-retardant properties of WPC outdoor decking


The fire-retardant index of qualified WPC outdoor decking can reach B1 level, which means that its fire-retardant properties are excellent, second only to natural stones. Wood-plastic flooring itself will not burn and can prevent combustion; it will not produce suffocating toxic and harmful gases (According to data provided by the security department, 95% of people who were injured in a fire were due to toxic smoke and gas generated during combustion).
