Eva-Last produces a world-class wood plastic composite (WPC) material to satisfy all of your home project needs, giving you long lasting and beautiful results.
Many people confuse WPC with PVC decking, but there are a number of major differences between the two. WPC is made with wood fibres, mostly sawdust, combined with high density plastic material. This combination of raw materials makes WPC significantly more moisture resistant than timber and works as an insect repellent. The wood fibre in the material gives it a natural look and feel while the plastic provides strength and durability, while reducing the need for maintenance. PVC, like WPC, offers easy maintenance but is made from a solid resin. PVC is often more costly than WPC; one plank of PVC can cost up to 15 percent more than a single plank of WPC used for composite plastic decks.
Both WPC and PVC offer durability and easy maintenance. When choosing between WPC and PVC it is important to consider the environmental impact associated with each material. Both offer a green alternative to timber. However PVC production uses a large amount of energy and chlorine gas which negatively affects the ecosystem. WPC, on the other hand, incorporates sawdust into its composition, providing a useful outlet for otherwise wasted material.
Choosing between WPC and PVC can be confusing. However it is important to learn as much as possible about eco-friendly products before making your final decision on which material to use for your decking and outdoor needs. WPC experts at Eva-Last are happy to provide answers to your questions and offer independent resources to help you decide which product is right for you.
