WPC wall panels are a decorative cladding material made from a composite of wood fibers, plastic, and additives. They combine the look of wood with the durability of plastic, making them water-resistant, durable, and eco-friendly because they often use recycled materials. These panels are used for both interior and exterior walls to provide a decorative and protective finish
Composition and characteristics
· Material: Made from wood fibers (like sawdust) and thermoplastics, along with other additives for strength and UV resistance.
· Appearance: Designed to look like natural wood, available in various colors, and often featuring a natural wood grain texture.
· Durability: Strong, long-lasting, and resistant to moisture, rot, and termites.
· Eco-friendly: Often constructed using recycled wood and plastic, which makes them a more sustainable choice compared to traditional materials.
· Maintenance: Low maintenance and easy to clean.
· Water resistance: Highly water-resistant, making them suitable for areas like bathrooms and kitchens, though they are not entirely waterproof, so proper installation is crucial.
