INOUT provides the highest quality wood-plastic composite (WPC) products – cladding, terrace, fence boards. Products for those, who appreciate the durability, environmental friendliness and practicality.
WPC (wood-plastic composite) technology
Our wood-plastic composite material composition, expressed as a percentage, 50 percent wood fiber (flour) and 50 percent of the plastic (PVC) with various additives (lubricants, fungicides, antioxidants, UV filters, stabilizers). Such a composition leads to increased resistance to moisture, mechanical damage, mold, fire.
WPC boards are 100% environment friendly because the production process does not use any environment hazardous materials (e.g. lead salts), and the boards themselves are fully recyclable.
WPC terrace system - modern solutions for terraces
This system does not require periodic terrace maintenance (repainting, reinstallation, etc.). WPC terrace boards are resistant to corrosion, UV rays and sunlight, humidity, salt- and chlorinated water, cold, temperature fluctuations, rotting, and fungal decay.
The terrace made of wood-plastic composite boards can be installed using a WPC or galvanized metal crossbeam, rear covering profiles and special stainless steel or plastic board mounting brackets. Brackets are attached using self tapping screws and regular tools, thus WPC products make the terrace installation process fast and easy!
WPC cladding - solution for building facades
If you are looking for cladding materials for your home, use wood-plastic composite (WPC) cladding boards and additional profiles which have all characteristics of WPC products. This solution will help create an aesthetic appearance of your facade and will not require any additional periodic maintenance.
WPC fencing system
A fence made of WPC boards, a pole profile and a cap is a durable product which will not require periodic maintenance. If the base is properly prepared, these profiles will ensure easy and fast installation of a fence using wood-plastic composites.
WPC products colours
We offer WPC products in six main colours. However, if requested, wood-plastic composite products can be produced in any desired colour.
Wood-plastic composite material contains natural wood fiber. As a result, the richness of colours may differ due to the exposure to the sunlight or moisture. The richness (depth) of the colour usually stabilizes within 6 to 8 weeks after the installation, depending on weather conditions. Also, each batch can contain minor variations in richness of colour.
Important to know
Everyone knows that high quality terrace floors declared to be low-maintenance and are made from a mixture of wood and plastic. However, not everyone knows the difference between plastic that can be used in production. It seems that sellers tend to mention only the best properties of their product and only the natural components, but do not declare the critically important polymer properties. Then a question arises: Why does the customer know so little and why is it so easy to mislead him? You will find a table below
which shows that terrace boards can be made from wood dust and polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride or other polymers. Moreover, manufacturers are beginning to use rice, bamboo or straw instead of wood powder, and these are certainly not high quality ingredients. Everything will become even clearer if you take a look below.
| Summary of the properties of the most popular polymers used in the production of composites | |||
| PE ( HDPE ) - polyethylene | PP - polypropylene | PVC - polyvinyl chloride | |
| Density g/cm3 | 0,95 | 1,4 - 1-5 | |
| Elasticity * | 0,5 - 1,1 GPa | 0,7 - 1,5 GPa | ~3,5 GPa |
| Bending elasticity * | 1,25 GPa | 0,5 - 1,4 GPa
| 2,2 - 3,5 GPa
|
| Hardness according to Shore scale * | ~65 | ~70 | >80 |
| Thermal expansion coefficient ** | ~15 | ~11 | ~6 |
| Flammability | Flammable |
Flammable
| Non-flammable
|
| Main areas of use | For household use - wraps, plastic bags, garbage bags, containers. | Food packaging, car bumpers. | Technical construction profiles for windows, doors, water drainage systems. |
| Summary of properties | Low resistance to oxidation and UV rays, easily wears down and scratches. | Low temperature amplitude (drastically changes its physical properties at a -5°C temperature), low resistance to oxidation and UV rays, easily scratched and wears down. | Excellent resistance to atmospheric effects and decomposition, very good mechanical properties, non-flammable, harmless to health and resistant to abrasion. |
** - the lower value – the better properties
It is important to know that materials used in our products are also used in the window industry. It is the only material that is used for external works in the construction field and is lead-free.
