WPC with sheathing is an innovative development. The boards consist of 60% wood components, 35% thermoplastics and 5% material-retaining additives. To make the WPC boards more resistant, the manufacturers additionally coat them with a mixture of 70 percent plastic and 30 percent wood. The exact proportions of wood and plastic in the mixture depend on the manufacturer and can vary. The plastic coating makes the boards more resistant to moisture, dirt, grease and decay caused by fungal attack. Thanks to the plastic coating, the material absorbs less moisture and therefore hardly expands and does not contract. The plastic layer of the 4-sided coated WPC decking boards makes them less sensitive to staining.
The high plastic content in these decking boards ensures good UV resistance. This means that colour changes due to weathering are less pronounced. Please note that electrostatic charging is caused by the material and cannot be completely ruled out, as is the case with normal WPC decking boards.

It depends on what is important to you. Wooden decking is 100% natural, looks warm and inviting and is ideal for nature lovers. Weathering, cracks or splinters can be an issue, as can warping. Wooden decks can also become very slippery when wet, especially when a green coating has formed. Therefore, your wooden deck requires regular maintenance to limit any natural weathering.

WPC decks make for more modern patios. Even though the plank structure is similar to that of wooden decking, WPC planks are characterised by a high degree of uniformity. Neither splinters nor cracks are to be expected. If you want solid, good-looking decking boards that require little maintenance, there’s nothing like WPC decking. Check out more about their pros and cons here.
In addition to the general installation instructions of the manufacturers, there are a few more things to consider. Crucially, you should pay attention to the subfloor. This is because it supports the whole deck construction and must be more stable and weather-resistant than the planks themselves. While the boards can be easily replaced from above, repairing a substructure is a much bigger job. Today, decking boards are usually installed with clips, which makes the process relatively easy and also makes screws invisible. Here are the most important tips for laying decking boards.
This varies greatly. Decking boards are sold by the metre (running metre). The different prices for wooden decking boards are down to availability, transport routes and durability. For WPC decking boards, it depends on the manufacturer, material composition, raw material quality, dimensions and quality control. Currently we’re seeing the following market prices per running metre:
Decking can be laid on almost any surface. This is because it is almost always possible to find a suitable solution for building the right substructure. Solid subfloors such as concrete, tiles or slabs are ideal and require minimal preparatory work. Gravel surfaces are also load-bearing and therefore possible. If you want to lay decking boards on soil, you must create load-bearing supports for the substructure. Click here for more information on planning terraces.
