Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) Decking – Low-Maintenance and Durable Outdoor Flooring
WPC decking, or wood-plastic composite decking, is manufactured from a blend of wood fibres and plastic polymers, often incorporating recycled materials. Designed to replicate the appearance of natural timber while delivering superior outdoor performance, WPC decking offers excellent durability, moisture resistance, and consistent aesthetics. It is an ideal solution for outdoor environments where low maintenance and long-term reliability are essential.
Key Advantages of WPC Decking
- Low Maintenance: No annual staining, sealing, or sanding required.
- Highly Durable: Resistant to rot, decay, insects, warping, and cracking.
- Moisture and Mold Resistant: Well suited for humid environments and wet areas such as pool decks.
- Eco-Friendly: Often produced using recycled materials, reducing demand for virgin timber.
- Consistent Appearance: Uniform colour and grain with a wide range of finishes available.
Typical Applications
- Outdoor decks and patios
- Pool surrounds
- Balcony flooring
- Garden and terrace decking
Aluminium Battens for WPC Decking
Using aluminium battens, also known as aluminium joists, as the substructure for WPC decking offers superior long-term performance compared to traditional timber or composite joists. Aluminium provides exceptional durability, stability, and strength, ensuring a reliable deck foundation that withstands demanding outdoor conditions.
- Superior Durability: Does not rot, decay, or absorb moisture, and is fully insect-proof.
- Corrosion Resistant: Powder-coated or anodised finishes withstand sun, rain, and humidity.
- Dimensional Stability: Maintains shape without warping or shrinking, ensuring a stable deck surface.
- Long-Term Cost Efficiency: Minimal maintenance requirements and a lifespan that can exceed that of the decking boards.
- Lightweight yet Strong: Capable of spanning longer distances while remaining easier to install than steel or concrete alternatives.
