WPC Product Selection Guide 

I. Selection by Product Generation & Technology

1. 1st-gen WPC (Non-co-extrusion)

Core Features: No surface coating, cost-effective, basic weather resistance. Suitable for indoor semi-outdoor areas (e.g., non-sun-exposed balconies) or temporary projects.Application Scenarios: Budget-constrained terraces, simple fences. Not recommended for long-term exposure to strong UV rays or high-humidity environments.

2. Co-extrusion WPC (2nd-gen)

Core Features: Surface coated with ASA/PE co-extrusion layer, UV-resistant, fade-resistant, scratch-resistant. Outdoor durability increased by 3-5 times.Subtype: ASA Co-extrusion WPC / PE Co-extrusion WPCApplication Scenarios: Long-term outdoor exposure areas such as full-outdoor courtyard flooring, villa exterior wall panels, and scenic plank roads. Mainstream choice for foreign trade projects.

3. Online-Embossing WPC

Core Features: Wood-grain/stone-grain embossed surface with high simulation. Available in 1st-gen (basic embossing) and 2nd-gen (co-extrusion + embossing).Application Scenarios: Courtyards, terraces, and homestay landscapes with high aesthetic requirements. Prioritize co-extrusion + 3D embossing models.

II. Selection by Product Structure

1. Solid WPC Decking

Core Features: High density, strong load-bearing capacity, deformation-resistant (e.g., "Giant Solid Decking"), but heavy weight.Application Scenarios: High-load-bearing areas (e.g., poolside platforms, heavy outdoor furniture), sloped plank roads.

2. Hollow WPC Decking

Core Features: Lightweight, easy to install, cost-effective. Available in square-hole or round-hole structures.Application Scenarios: ordinary terrace flooring, fences, flower boxes. Note to reserve drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.

3. Seamless Lock-type WPC Decking

Core Features: Gap-free splicing, dust-proof, easy to clean, excellent sealing performance.Application Scenarios: High-end courtyards, commercial terraces, and other areas requiring high aesthetics and cleanliness.

III. Precise Matching by Usage Scenario

1. Outdoor Flooring

Prioritize co-extrusion models (ASA material for UV resistance).

Anti-corrosion coating optional for coastal high-salt-fog environments.

High-load-bearing solid models recommended for plank roads/squares.

Hollow lock-type models optional for courtyards.

2. Exterior Wall Panels / Great Wall Panels

Co-extrusion WPC is mandatory (prevents fading and cracking).

3D embossing models enhance architectural aesthetics.

Hollow models reduce wall load-bearing pressure.

3. Fences / Flower Boxes

1st-gen WPC meets basic needs.

Co-extrusion fence panels recommended for long-term outdoor weather resistance.

Hollow WPC with drainage holes suggested for flower boxes to avoid waterlogging and decay.

4. Outdoor Furniture

Prioritize solid WPC (wind and pressure resistant).

Anti-slip embossing optional for surfaces.

Salt-fog resistant co-extrusion models recommended for coastal areas.

IV. Selection by Budget & Quality Balance

1. Economic Grade

Product: 1st-gen non-co-extrusion hollow WPCApplication: Short-term projects or non-core areas.

2. Cost-Effective Grade

Product: 2nd-gen co-extrusion hollow WPCAdvantage: Balances durability and cost. Mainstream for foreign trade retail.

3. Premium Grade

Product: ASA co-extrusion solid 3D embossed WPC / Giant Solid Decking (Surlyn resin surface)Application: High-end villas, cultural tourism landmarks, and other quality projects.

V. Additional Notes for Foreign Trade Procurement

Environmental Certifications: Ensure CE, SGS certifications (compliant with EU REACH standard) to avoid customs clearance risks.

Warranty Terms: Standard warranty for co-extrusion WPC: 5-10 years. ASA layer warranty up to 15 years.

Transportation Specifications: Hollow WPC is lightweight and suitable for sea shipping. Logistics costs for solid models need to be calculated.
