Wood plastic wall panel (WPC wallboard) is an environmentally friendly indoor wall decoration material. It combines the advantages of wood and plastic. It has both the natural appearance of wood and the waterproof performance of plastic. Therefore, it is widely used in the decoration of indoor walls and ceilings.
Although wood plastic wallboard has the advantages of low maintenance cost and easy cleaning, to ensure its beauty and durability, we still need to perform daily maintenance on it. This article will introduce its maintenance process, maintenance methods, and precautions in detail.
Compared with traditional solid wood siding, WPC siding has the advantage of low maintenance cost. But you still need to pay attention to some maintenance tips to ensure that it can keep its beauty for a long time. Here are some common WPC siding maintenance tips.
1. Regular cleaning
Use a soft brush, clean water, or neutral detergent to remove stains on the wallboard surface.
Avoid using strong acid or alkaline detergents to avoid damaging the surface.
2. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures
Wood-plastic wall panels are usually installed indoors. Although they are UV-resistant, prolonged exposure to high temperatures may also affect their appearance.
3. Prevent pollution
Wood-plastic wall panels should avoid direct contact with colored liquids such as paint, fuel, and cosmetics to avoid staining or surface damage.
If other colored stains are accidentally stuck on the surface, they should be wiped with clean water in time to ensure the cleanliness of the surface.
4. Avoid scratches
Make sure the wall panels do not come into contact with sharp or hard objects to avoid damaging their surface.
5. Installation tips
During the installation process, a certain gap should be left in the wood-plastic wall panel to avoid arching or falling off due to thermal expansion and contraction.
6. Regular inspection
Regularly check whether the wood-plastic wall panels are damaged, loose, worn, cracked, etc. If so, they should be repaired in time to prevent excessive damage.
7. Do not use a hard-bristle brush to clean the wallboard
Do not use a hard-bristle brush to clean the wallboard to avoid scratching the wallboard surface. You can use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to clean the wallboard.
Wood-plastic wall panels are decorative profiles made of wood fiber and plastic. They are made using a special process and usually have anti-corrosion, waterproof, moisture-proof, and insect-proof properties. However, their service life is affected by the following factors in addition to material factors:
1. Light intensity
If the wood-plastic wall panels are exposed to sunlight or high temperature for a long time, they will age and change color.
2. Climate environment
Extreme climate conditions, such as heavy rain and strong wind, will also have a certain impact on wood-plastic panels.
3. Use environment
If the wall panels are installed in an environment with high humidity or are exposed to chemical substances, the aging of the wood-plastic panels will be accelerated.
In short, the maintenance of wood-plastic wall panels is relatively simple. In daily maintenance, we only need to wipe its surface with a damp cloth, but we still need to avoid contact with acidic and alkaline liquids to ensure that it can maintain its beauty for a long time. During the maintenance process, you can also seek help from the supplier and get professional advice.
