A cosy gazebo in the yard of a country house or a spacious terrace with a beautiful view is a great place to relax with friends or family in the fresh air. Do you want to have a lot of pleasant experiences during your vacation, and not think about updating or repairing the gazebo? The best solution is to use strong and safe materials as the façade or terrace covering, namely wood-polymer composite manufactured by a young Ukrainian company Polyroot. Read more about the main advantages of wood-polymer composite.
What is a wood-polymer composite?
Wood-polymer composite or WPC is a modern solution for the arrangement of paving of house areas, made from crushed wood raw materials, polymers, modifiers, various fillers and dyes.
Polyroot terrace board is a fairly progressive and popular material for paving house areas, terraces and verandas, due to the combination of the best properties of natural wood and plastic, and therefore has a natural appearance, and smell and is distinguished by durability, strength and moisture resistance. However, some manufacturers of WPC use different recipes, which directly affects the quality of finished products. But Polyroot company uses only high-quality certified raw materials for the manufacturing of wood-polymer composite, and the production is carried out on modern European equipment. Therefore, the section “Products” outlines the wide range of the following:
- terrace board made of natural wood flour, obtained from hard species of trees, and high-quality polymer;
- façade board made of hardwood, primary polymer, chalk and other additives;
- component elements in the form of angles, lags and clips for installation of wood-polymer composite.
Also, it is worth noting that the WPC is characterized by a number of distinctive features, among which we can name the main ones:
- absence of deformation of the coating with WPC;
- immunity to the development of corrosion processes;
- long service life;
- does not require painting or additional surface treatment;
- does not change colour and does not fade under the influence of sunlight;
- terrace or facade board is an environment in which pests and fungi will never grow.
Advantages of Polyroot terrace board
Terrace board is very popular not only in Ukraine, but also all over the world, and this is because this coating has many advantages as compared to other types of decorative finishing. This way, the advantages of terrace board made of wood-polymer composite manufactured by Polyroot company over competitors are the following:
- Strength. The results of the Polyroot terrace board strength test according to German standard DIN EN 15534-1:2014-04 prove that the product withstands twice the load than specified in the norms, namely 660 kg at the distance between supports of 400 mm, while the norm is 330 kg at a similar distance between supports. Such results were achieved using a polymer called polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which we use in production. Other manufacturers use such types of polymers as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), and these types of plastic do not have high mechanical properties
- Resistance to deformations under the influence of different temperature modes and water. Correctly selected additives in the recipe can only enhance the high mechanical and physical properties of the terrace board. In its recipe, Polyroot uses high-quality, certified European additives that provide resistance to various types of deformation.
- Does not spread flame. Since polyvinyl chloride is a type of plastic that is resistant to fire, the Polyroot terrace board is also resistant to flames, which is confirmed by the corresponding certificate.
- Environmental friendliness. For manufacture of WPC Polyroot uses wood waste, which allows not to pollute the environment with this waste and not to cut down trees.
Therefore, Polyroot guarantees its customers a high-quality product that will serve for more than a dozen years.
