WoodPlastic® is the ideal material for outdoor projects

Wood composite is a modern building material that allows us to impose similar demands on outdoor spaces as we have for living rooms inside the house. The reason why more and more informed customers are purchasing new terraces, fences, or wall cladding from the Czech manufacturer WPC – WoodPlastic, is their attractive appearance, long lifespan, and easy maintenance without the need for additional investments.

The specific properties of the material commonly referred to as WPC open up wide possibilities for its use. It is typically found in the form of boards on garden terraces, around pools, or on balconies. However, it is increasingly used in larger commercial projects, such as playgrounds, urban furniture, waterfronts, large rooftop terraces, hotel loggias, footbridges, fences, railings, shading slats, or other purely decorative elements.

Wood material that surpasses wood

For many years, the Czech company WPC – WoodPlastic has been one of the leading producers and suppliers of premium wood composite in Europe. In its plant in Bukovany near Benešov, it manufactures boards from a patented mixture with the help of state-of-the-art, laser-controlled extrusion. The special mixture consists of 60% wood flour, 40% health-safe polyethylene PE-HD, plus a reasonable amount of binder, UV stabilizers, coloring agents, or mineral additives.

Thanks to its composition and manufacturing process, the company in Bukovany can produce boards that perfectly imitate a wooden design, are pleasant to the touch, can be worked with like wood, and have the added bonus of being bendable when heated. At the same time, they can minimize all negative properties of wood, primarily short lifespan, absorbency, warping, rot, splintering, the need for repetitive, financially and time-consuming maintenance, and similar issues.

WPC – WoodPlastic produces its full-profile boards in standard stock lengths, but the manufacturing method allows the company to flexibly respond to various atypical requests from individual clients to maximize their needs. The offer includes terraces, fence panels, or cladding profiles, as well as all other key components necessary to finish the terrace, such as substrates, supports, clips, or strips.

Terraces with a warranty of up to 25 years

However, the production of attractive boards featuring a whole range of natural color shades does not end customer service. WPC – WoodPlastic has a network of terrace centers and experienced certified partners in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. They not only professionally install the terrace for customers but also prepare its design with a calculation free of charge before installation, help with selecting surfaces and colors, and are always available to provide valuable advice, whether in person or online.

In addition to representative design, the main advantages of boards made from WoodPlastic® material include durability and long lifespan. The boards from the Czech company withstand all the whims of weather. The minimally absorbent material is resistant to pool chemicals and saltwater. The boards retain their color, do not warp, do not crumble, and do not splinter. They are easy and quick to assemble without the need for anchoring to a solid foundation. There is no need to paint, oil, or impregnate the terrace. It is enough to sweep it occasionally and rinse it with water.

While wood composite has a higher initial purchase price compared to wood, it offers incomparable longevity without the necessity for additional maintenance costs. WPC – WoodPlastic provides a warranty of up to 25 years on its products with an expected lifespan of up to 50 years. The quality of its products is also evidenced by the fact that the company has more than 10,000 satisfied customers in nearly 40 countries around the world during its almost 13 years of existence.
