<p>Having no idea about how to make a decision between PVC decking and <a href="https://www.greenzonewpc.com/products" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>WPC decking</strong></a>? Here we will help you to clarify the features of these two kinds of decking.</p><p><br></p><p>As alternative to traditional wood decking, both of composite and PVC decking have offering their advantages, especially the features of durability and practicability.</p><p><br></p><p>Comparing with traditional timber decking, WPC(wood plastic composite) decking and PVC(polyvinyl Chloride) decking won’t crack or wrap as they have high performance in waterproof. Besides, they have many other advantages, like UV resistance and low maintenance, which means we don’t have to pay extra cost to paint and clean it.</p><p><br></p><p>Both of <a href="https://www.greenzonewpc.com/outdoor-wpc-flooring" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>wood plastic composite flooring</strong></a> and polyvinyl Chloride decking are more durable than traditional timber decking, however, how do you choose the right decking when building your outdoor decking? Although there are so many similarities between them, some differences are still exist.

What is more, it’s also fade resistant than traditional uncapped wpc decking. Also, it can be recycled and repurposed after its life as a deck, due to the durability and longevity of plastic.</p><p><br></p><p>Nevertheless, pure and simple plastic has its own shortcomings. For example, PVC decking cannot be ripped or routed and requires special tools to bend, but china WPC decking is more flexible with the wood fibres. So the installation process has become harder.</p><p><br></p><p>Expanding and contracting is a big problem when using PVC decking. It can change size quite drastically as a result of extreme temperatures, causing it to expand and contract. On a extremely hot day it won’t only radiate and retain heat, making it painful to walk on with bare feet, but the large expansions and inevitable contractions can also wear and even potentially damage the boards. On the contrary, in cold weather, the decking can be brittle and crack under pressure.</p><p><br></p><p>Lastly, PVC decking is totally artificial, even if finished with a wood grain effect, it is hard to achieve an authentic texture with a product that is solely plastic.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>WPC Decking</strong></p><p><br></p><p>WPC Decking is made from 60% wood fibres, 35% HDPE and 5% additives. Unlike PVC decking, it has a high recycled content. This means that not a single trees is cut down to create our decking. At the same time, <a href="https://www.greenzonewpc.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Greenzone</strong></a> which produces WPC decking uses renewable energy from solar panels to further minimise the environmental impact of the entire process.</p><p><br></p><p>Due to the wood fibre content, which also gives the decking a far more authentic wood grain appearance, resulting in a more natural surface finishing.</p><p><br></p><p>Finally, the fibrous structure of wood makes it an easier product to install, like traditional timber decking. In addition, Greenzone WPC decking was made from Oak wood fibres, which makes the color of decking more durable than normal WPC decking.</p><p><br></p><p>After reading the comparison of WPC decking and PVC decking, you must have a grasp of a situation and know what to do.
