Is WPC wood or plastic?

As already said, a mix of wood and plastic.

The only thing you have to watch out for is that they are hollow, otherwise they get so hot in summer that you can’t walk on them.

A slope helps against this.

Better take the solid plank, even if they are more expensive.

And what about the durability here?

I find wooden planks as a terrace surface really beautiful, but due to the lack of durability it will probably be stoneware or something. Have I made my calculation without the WPC planks? Hearing about them for the first time today

Regarding durability, some manufacturers give 20 years warranty

and how is it then here with the durability? I think wooden floorboards as a terrace surface are super beautiful, but due to the lack of durability it will probably be stoneware or something like that after all. Did I miscalculate with the WPC floorboards? Hearing about it for the first time today

We had WPC on our old balcony. The textured surface was very prone to dirt. Even with a scrubber I couldn’t get the surface clean again. For me, the material was therefore out. If wood, then directly Bangkirai. Oil 1-2 times a year and the fun lasts at least 10 years, rather much longer.

and how is it with durability here then?

I fear it will last longer than you yourself will like the material

To my knowledge, there are massive quality differences. Warping, graying/milky appearance/color changes, becoming brittle, all of that occurs. We have a horticultural business in the family, they no longer build anything with WPC. Exceptionally, only the expensive stuff with a long manufacturer's warranty.

We currently have a tropical hardwood floor. This time we are going for 80x80 porcelain stoneware. It was also completed today. Due to the rain, I couldn't take a nice photo. But the landscaping crew is really going full throttle. 30m access path + garage yard, splash guard on the facade. The mowing edge is halfway done and the roll lawn is supposed to come this week.

Does anyone have experience with HPL terrace decking boards?
