Everyone loves a deck. There is something very attractive about the backyard deck that just makes you want to lie back and relax. In Australasia, composite flooring materials begin to penetrate the market, but the benefits of this type of flooring cannot be fully realized. The advantages of composite flooring are explained in detail here.
1. Low maintenance.
Little that no maintenance is the biggest advantage of Composite Decking (another known as WPC). Unlike natural wood, composite flooring does not rot, does not fade, does not discolor, does not twist, does not deform, does not attract termites or mold. Natural wood requires regular lubrication or dyeing (at least once a year) at a significant cost of both time and materials. Composite flooring eliminates these costs. Rebuild the weekend!
2 It is good for the environment.
Most WPC boards are made from recycled materials, up to 90% of the total composition. These materials typically regenerate hardwood and recycled plastics, reducing the amount of plastic used for landfill. Some suppliers also have FSC accreditation, which ensures the responsible use of wood in production. It is worth noting that you should avoid flooring in which instead of regenerated hardwood wood is used cellulose from rice, because this material can not be recycled, and it is susceptible to moisture absorption, which leads to deformation and premature decay.
3. It comes in standard sizes.
WPC Decking comes in standard widths and lengths, ensuring that you get full value for money. It also means that you don’t have to sort your wood delivery looking for the right size and class of board. This can significantly reduce the waste of your project. Longer lengths also mean fewer connections, which reduces the risk of expansion.
4. Installation can actually be cheaper.
Since composite boards for boards are standardized and usually much larger than natural wood boards, installation costs can actually be reduced. This is due to the fact that larger boards mean that larger areas can be decorated more quickly, which saves labor costs. Flooring with a lower surface or hidden for fastening also requires fewer screws than natural wood, each and every board requires a minimum of 4 screws, regardless of length.
Heavy WPC allows large gaps on the subframe, which again reduces material costs and labor costs.
5. Can be used in marine areas
Due to its non-aggressive properties, WPC Decking is ideal for moorings, moorings, pontoons and around the spa and pools. It will not rot on exposure to water and will not attract mold. Most composites are also not slippery - very practical in wet areas.
6. Easy installation
Composite decking is usually installed on a subframe in the same way as natural wood, and can be used there to replace rotten wood without replacing the frame. Subsurface mounts make laying floorboards very fast and easy, which means you can shop and save on merchant fees!
7. Uses hidden fasteners for a smooth, safe look.
Under the surface or hidden picture. Mounts provide a composite finish to its smooth, clean appearance. Not only do these fixes look great, they are very easy to install and provide barefoot security by holding sharp screws and nails in place under the surface.
8. He looks great!
The early composition of the flooring looked and felt more like plastic than wood, but new designs are coming full circle - your friends can't tell the difference! WPC is now available in a huge assortment of colors, profiles and finishes, from the ultra-modern to the ultra-realistic, the choice is yours.
