Prirodno Drvo protiv WPC-a: Koji Deking Se Više Ispati?

Imagine you're setting up your terrace or garden and faced with the question: which material to choose for durability and aesthetics—WPC or natural wood? This choice isn’t straightforward, and that’s why we're here to help you understand the benefits and characteristics of each material.

Is it true that WPC requires no maintenance?

Many believe that WPC decking is maintenance-free. While it is more resistant to weather conditions, WPC still requires some care. This includes regular cleaning and the use of special protective products to help WPC last longer and retain its appearance. If you're looking for a truly carefree solution, you may be surprised by how much attention WPC actually needs.

Which material has a longer lifespan?

It is often thought that WPC is more durable because it is resistant to moisture and insects. However, natural decking made of Siberian larch, with proper care and regular maintenance, can last for decades. Moreover, wooden decking allows you to easily replace damaged boards without worrying that the new piece will differ in color, which is often difficult to achieve with WPC.

How do these materials perform in sunlight?

Natural wood is softer and more comfortable to the touch, and it doesn’t get too hot under the sun. WPC, on the other hand, can become very hot on summer days, making it less pleasant to walk on barefoot. If you're planning a space where you'll often walk barefoot, wood may be the better choice.

Aesthetics and natural appeal

Wooden decking has a unique natural beauty that is difficult to replicate. Wooden boards age gracefully and can be adapted over the years—by repainting or refinishing. WPC, on the other hand, stays the same over time, without the possibility of changing color or texture.

Sustainability and environmental impact

Wood from sustainable sources is an eco-friendly choice because it can be easily recycled and returned to nature. WPC contains plastic, making it a less sustainable solution in terms of ecology, although it is often made from recycled materials. If environmental consciousness is important to you, wood may be a better choice.
