Wood-plastic wall panels are a new type of decorative material that uses wood fiber as the base material, is evenly mixed with thermoplastic polymer materials and other additives, is heated and extruded through a mold, and is covered with PVC film or printed with patterns on the surface. It has the advantages of both wood and plastic and is a perfect substitute for traditional wooden wall panels.
Waterproof, moisture-proof, and insect-proof
Compared with traditional solid wood wall panels, wood-plastic wall panels have a longer service life. Their biggest features are waterproof, moisture-proof, and insect-proof, which effectively solves the problem of easy decay, expansion, and deformation after absorbing water and moisture in a humid environment.
Rich colors and strong plasticity
This type of wall panel has a wide variety of colors, so it can provide users with a variety of choices. At the same time, you can also customize the desired color according to your preferences, fully reflecting your personalized style.
Especially some young people like DIY decoration very much.
Highly environmentally friendly and fireproof
At present, many users will choose environmentally friendly decorative materials for interior decoration. The wood-plastic board does not contain benzene substances, and the formaldehyde content is 0.2, which is lower than the EO grade standard and meets the European environmental protection standards. It can be recycled, greatly saving the use of wood, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development. In addition, it has strong fire resistance, self-extinguishing when encountering fire, and does not produce any toxic gas.
Easy installation and good sound absorption effect
Wood plastic wall panels do not require complicated installation procedures, effectively saving installation time and cost. At the same time, they have good processability and are easy to fix, plan saw drills, etc. They have good sound absorption effects and energy-saving performance and can save more than 30% of indoor energy.
Maintenance
WPC sidings have low maintenance costs, requiring only regular cleaning. Unlike wood sidings, they do not require frequent painting or polishing, saving time and energy.
High Price
Compared with traditional wood sidings, the price of WPC sidings is high. They are not suitable for users with limited budgets.
Susceptible to high-temperature environment
Wood plastic wall panels will expand and contract in an environment with large temperature changes, which may cause slight deformation.
Therefore, it should be avoided to install them in outdoor environments exposed to sunlight for a long time.
Unrepairable
If physical scratches occur on the surface of the wood-plastic wall panel, it is difficult to repair and usually requires replacing the entire wall panel.
To sum up, wood-plastic wall panels have the advantages of durability, environmental protection, waterproofness, and low maintenance costs. Of course, they also have disadvantages such as high price, susceptibility to high-temperature environments, and high cost of repair after damage. When purchasing, you need to consider many factors and make the right choice according to project requirements.
