1. Will outdoor floors be hot on your feet in summer?

Comfortable body, effective cooling. Our unique CoolTouch™ surface technology effectively reflects solar radiation and reduces heat absorption. Choose a light color (such as coastal gray), which has a significantly lower surface temperature in direct sunlight than traditional dark wood or ordinary composite materials. Suggestion: For areas with long hours of sunshine, choose light tone products first to get the best barefoot experience.

2. Is it completely waterproof? Can it be used by the pool?

True WPC waterproof performance, no fear of moisture. The material itself is completely non-absorbent, which can fundamentally eliminate the problem of rotting, molding and deformation. Supplement: the surface is treated with anti-slip treatment, which can provide reliable safety guarantee even after wet water.

3. Which is more cost-effective than preservative wood?

The short term cost is comparable, the long term cost performance is very high. The initial investment may be similar to that of medium and high grade preservative wood, but the laminate flooring requires almost no maintenance. Preserved wood needs to be painted and oiled regularly every year, which is time-consuming, laborious and expensive. Choosing our WPC flooring means you'll save on maintenance costs for decades to come.

4. Will it fade in the sun outdoors?

Color is stable and lasts as new. The product is added with the top anti-UV (ultraviolet) stabilizer, which can effectively resist the aging and fading caused by sunlight.

5. How to clean and care for it?

Maintenance is extremely simple. Daily dust and stains can be easily removed by rinsing with water or a soft brush with soapy water. For stubborn stains, you can use a low-pressure water gun to rinse. Do not: Do not use steel wool and other hard tools to scrape the surface, so as not to leave scratches.

6. What about fire performance?

B1 grade flame retardant, improve outdoor safety. Achieve the national B1 grade flame retardant standard. This means that it is not easy to ignite, and it will extinguish the fire away from the fire, effectively blocking the spread of the fire, adding a safety guarantee for your outdoor space.

7. Is this material environmentally friendly?

Green and environmentally friendly, sustainable choice. Our composite flooring is made mostly of recycled wood powder and plastic, effectively reducing the cutting down of forest resources and the generation of plastic waste. The production process is environmentally friendly, and the finished product does not contain harmful substances, which is very friendly to the environment and human body.

8. Can I DIY it myself?

Absolutely, designed for easy installation. The accompanying hidden snap system and standardized keel make the installation process as simple and efficient as assembly.

9. Hollow or solid, how should I choose?

Each has its own advantages and can be selected on demand according to the characteristics of WPC Plank.

Hollow WPC Plank:

• Advantages: lighter, easier to transport and install; more economical price; structure conducive to drainage and wiring.
• Suitable: budget sensitive projects, family terrace with low foot traffic.

Solid WPC Plank:

• Advantages: thicker and stronger foot feel, close to solid wood; stronger load-bearing capacity; more impact resistance.
• Suitable for: commercial places, high traffic areas or projects that pursue top quality.

10. Are they infested with insects or termites?

Fundamentally eliminate pest control. The characteristics of wood plastic composite material determine that it does not provide food source for termites, worms and other insects, nor can it be eroded by them, so as to spare you from worries.

11. Is it durable? Will it leave scratches on the table and chairs?

High intensity wear resistance, but not absolute scratch resistance. Our Outdoor WPC Flooring has a high surface hardness that resists the friction of daily walking and outdoor furniture movement. Tip: For sharp metal table and chair legs, it is recommended to add protective pads. When moving heavy objects, lift rather than drag them to maximize the protection of the floor surface.

12. How does it feel to walk barefoot on it?

Comfortable, not cold, no wood thorns. Unlike cold stone, it feels gentle on the feet. Unlike natural wood, it is never cracked and thorned, allowing you and your family to enjoy outdoor time barefoot.

13. How long will it take to install?

The construction is efficient and the construction period is significantly shortened. Standardized modular installation system, which allows you to lay wood or stone much faster than traditional wood or stone, can help you complete the project faster.

14. What is the difference in maintenance compared to preservative wood?

One needs to be carefully nurtured, the other just needs to be easily managed. Preservative wood: needs to be sanded, cleaned, and repainted with linseed oil or wood wax oil every year or two, otherwise it will discolor and crack. Composite flooring: zero maintenance cycle, just keep clean. No paint or chemical care required.

15. How to cut and shape?

Standard carpentry tools may be used. Each WPC Plank can be easily cut with a common circular saw and hand saw, so that you can carry out any irregular treatment according to the site and achieve personalized design. Fire self-extinguishing, can effectively delay the fire, adding a line of defense for safety.

16. Why choose Dschinadm WPC flooring?

• Invisible fastener system: the plate is seamlessly connected to the plate, with no nail holes on the surface, ensuring the visual simplicity and absolute safety when walking.
