A: Wood-plastic composite is a building material that is formed by extrusion of plastic and wood fiber in a certain proportion. It comes with water resistance feature as plastic while has wood texture feeling. Now it is first choice for outdoor building materials (floors, fences, benches or waterfronts, etc.)
A: Unlike wood, wood plastic composite have a variety of colors to choose from without painting (sometimes different colors can affect the price). No need to paint.
A: Yes. Wood that is exposed to sunlight and moisture will fade slightly after 10~12 weeks, after which the color will not change.
A: Wood-plastic composite profiles are Class C building materials with similar combustion to wood. Through the burning characteristics experiment, wood plastic composite is not so flammable than wood. The burning temperature of wood plastic needs to reach 86 degrees.
A: No, unlike natural wood, wood-plastic composite products are produced at high temperatures and are environmentally friendly. They do not require any special documentation.
A: Yes. Wood plastic is processed from natural plastic fiber such as recycled plastic and waste wood chips or rice bran.
A: Unlike plastic wood (made of 100% plastic), wood plastic composite is made from plastic and wood chips in a ratio of approximately 1: 1 .
Because of the natural fiber component, wood-plastic composite has better UV resistance and lower thermal expansion and contraction properties, and is easy to process like wood.
Answer: Since Wood plastic is extruded and its shape is determined by the mold. The common floor sizes of the new generation of wood are 140 × 23, 145 x 21, etc. The common types of columns are 90 × 90, 120 × 120 and so on. Special shape sizes can be obtained by customizing the mold.
Wood plastic composite length can be cut base on customers request. but the size is generally controlled within 3 meters due to shipping.
A: Wood-plastic is widely used outdoors, and most of it is used in crowded public places. In this high-density occasion, the life of wood-plastic composite can reach 10 years. when used for indoor or private place, Wood plastic composite can last up to 15 years where there is less traffic.
Answer: The environmental protection significance of wood-plastic composite is multiple. On the one hand, it consumes waste plastic composite and wood powder that pollute the environment. On the other hand, it can effectively replace the use of wood outdoors, thus saving a lot of valuable natural resources. Since it does not contain any toxic components, it can be treated the same as other common construction waste without any pollution to the environment. And wood plastic composite can be recycled and reused.
Answer: Compared with general wood, wood-plastic composite is much more heavier, usually above 1.2, and the general wood has a specific gravity of 0.4-0.7. Even for hardwood with a large specific gravity, the specific gravity is only about 1.0. Therefore, the same volume of wood plastic composite is much heavier.
A: Wood-plastic composite is as easy as wood to process, Wood plastic composite can be cut, drilled, etc. with ordinary woodworking tools.
A: It is recommended to use high quality screws such as stainless steel and hot-dip galvanizing. It is especially recommended to use threaded screws to help increase the nail holding power of the screws.
A: No. Although ordinary wood-plastic composite have high strength and toughness, they do not have the same rigidity compare with wood, and therefore it cannot be used as structural members. However, the modified glass-reinforced wood has a high rigidity and can be used for structural parts.
Answer: Yes, considering of drainage, cleaning and slight thermal expansion/contraction etc, when installing wood-plastic composite, there should be a proper gap between the head and the head. Wood plastic composite will not expand and contract in humidity and dryness environment, but it will expand and contract to a certain extent when temperature change, so when install leave gaps on the sides to the side and head to head, Pay special attention to this especially when installing in winter.
A: Yes. By heating, wood plastic can be bent to a certain extent.
A: Wood-plastic composite are much heavier and have better toughness than wood. Therefore, when storing wood plastic composite, especially for long-term storage, it should be placed on a flat surface to prevent deformation.
Answer: Because of the plastic layer wrapped around natural fibers such as wood fiber, the water absorption rate of wood plastic is very low. Very suitable for waterfront landscapes.
Answer: Wood-plastics composite perform well even in low-temperature weather. However, because plastics account for more than 50% of wood-plastic components, it is difficult to punch holes in extremely cold weather. In this case, Pre-drilling is recommended.
A: Even in the outdoors, the wood plastic composite will not rot, chip or crack, it is UV resistance, very easy to handle.
