3. WPC with fake ones
WPC, also known as "wood-plastic composite material", as the name suggests, can be understood as a material that mainly uses plastic as raw material to replace wood. It is made of plastic and wood chips in a ratio of approximately 1:1. Its promotion and application can save a lot of natural wood, which is conducive to the protection of the ecological environment. Because of the natural fiber composition, plastic wood has better UV resistance (ultraviolet) performance and lower thermal expansion and cold contraction performance.
advantage
With anti-corrosion properties, it is less likely to crack and mold than anti-corrosion wood, more green and environmentally friendly, and has a longer service life. It is suitable for use in harsh outdoor conditions. Compared with logs, plastic-wood materials have better stability, and have the advantages of easy installation and no need for paint and coloring. In terms of appearance, because its surface has a simulated wooden texture look and feel and color, it has become an ecological and environmentally friendly material that replaces logs.
shortcoming
Although visually similar to wood, it is difficult to achieve the natural characteristics and touch of wood, such as: monotonous texture, single color, unnatural, etc. And compared with wood, it is not easy to process, and it cannot be processed into the desired shape at will, thus further affecting its aesthetic performance.
Scope of application
Floors, wall panels, railings, gazebos, flower stands, leisure chairs, gardening items (flower boxes, flower ponds)
4. New natural bamboo and wood
The outdoor high-resistance bamboo and wood material is a new high-tech outdoor material with wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high stability. The compressive strength of bamboo of the same size is twice that of ordinary wood, and the tensile strength is 8-10 times that of ordinary wood.
