Advantages of WPC fences
Strong environmental protection and in line with the trend of sustainable development
WPC fences are made of a composite of wood powder and plastic materials, usually using natural fibers such as wood powder and bamboo powder, and plastic materials such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). Because it not only uses natural wood fibers, but also avoids excessive consumption of wood resources, WPC fences are considered to be an environmentally friendly material. Compared with traditional wooden fences, WPC fences not only reduce dependence on forest resources, but also effectively reduce the emission of construction waste.
In addition, WPC fences are 100% recyclable materials, which meet the requirements of modern society for environmental protection and sustainable development. Chinese consumers pay more and more attention to the environmental performance of products, especially in public environments and courtyard landscapes, and the use of WPC fences has contributed to energy conservation and emission reduction.
Strong weather resistance, UV resistance, and adaptability to changing climates
China has a variety of climate types, from the cold and dry in the north to the humid and hot in the south, which puts high demands on the weather resistance of fence materials. And WPC fences can just meet this demand. Because WPC materials contain plastic components, their surface has strong UV resistance and can effectively resist fading, aging and other problems caused by sun exposure.
In addition, WPC fences have good waterproof and moisture-proof properties, and are also very capable of adapting to extreme weather. In the severe winter in the north, WPC fences will not become brittle due to low temperatures; in the humid environment in the south, it will not swell or rot due to water absorption. It is precisely because of this extremely strong adaptability that WPC fences have been widely used throughout the country.

Even if it is exposed to the outside for a long time, it can still maintain a good appearance and performance, greatly reducing the cost of later maintenance and replacement.
