As a popular deck decoration material in recent years, WPC decking (wood plastic composite) is deeply loved by consumers for its unique material, environmental protection performance and good durability. However, even if you choose high-quality wood-plastic composite decking, post-installation care and maintenance are equally important. Correct care and maintenance can not only ensure the beauty of the decking, but also extend its service life, adding lasting comfort and warmth to the home environment.
1. Daily cleaning and maintenance
Clean regularly: Use a soft broom or vacuum cleaner to regularly clean dust and debris on the floor surface to avoid scratching the floor surface with hard or sharp objects.
Wet mop cleaning: For difficult stains, use a wet mop. But be sure to use neutral cleaners and avoid using cleaners containing strong acids or alkalis to avoid damaging the protective layer on the floor surface.
Avoid water immersion: Although wood plastic composite decking has certain waterproof properties, long-term immersion in water may still cause the floor to deform or be damaged. Therefore, avoid long-term contact with water on the floor in daily life.
2. Avoid heavy pressure and scratches
Furniture placement: When placing furniture, try to use soft cushions or foot pads to reduce friction and scratches from the furniture on the floor.
Carrying heavy objects: When transporting heavy objects, try to avoid dragging them directly on the floor. Instead, use rollers or lift the objects before placing them.
3. Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity
Control humidity: Wood plastic composite decking is sensitive to changes in humidity. Too high humidity may cause the floor to swell and deform, while too low humidity may cause the floor to dry out and crack. Therefore, it is recommended to install a hygrometer at home and adjust the indoor humidity according to actual conditions.
Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the floor surface to fade. Therefore, during periods of strong sunlight, curtains or sunshades can be used for blocking.
4. Regular professional maintenance
In addition to daily maintenance, it is recommended to ask professionals to perform decking maintenance and upkeep on a regular basis. Professionals can deep clean, polish and restore decking to restore their original shine and texture.
The care and maintenance of wood plastic composite decking is a long-term and patient process. Only by taking daily careful care can you ensure the beauty and durability of the decking and add lasting charm to your home environment.
