WPC fencing, or composite fencing, is a fencing material solution made from a unique combination of plastic and wood. WPC stands for Wood Plastic Composite and this composite is made up of 45% timber fibres and 55% HDPE and additives.
The difference between traditional fencing panels and wood plastic composite (WPC) fencing panels is not just what they are made from. The core strength is a big factor when it comes to working with WPC fencing panels. This means you can be confident any installation will stay in place for much longer and withstand high winds and any other testing conditions. Besides, WPC fencing has the better waterproof, moisture-proof performance.
Manufactured using a blend of wood and plastic (60% recycled hard-wood fibres and 40% recycled polyethylene), WPC fence panels benefit from not splintering. This means you can keep the same look for many years without the issue of splinters that will naturally occur from traditional timber fencing.
You can purchase WPC fencing in many different colours, from stone grey to coffee and more, but you can also choose to have more natural-looking colours that will have the appearance of wood, such as redwood or teak. The benefit of this is a natural-looking finish that is especially great if you’re looking for the fencing to blend in with its surroundings.
WPC fence panels not only look great, but they require very little maintenance in the long term. The colour is long-lasting so no re-painting is required, no filling gaps from splintering or knots in the wood that can break away over time; overall a perfect solution to long term fencing.
