In the construction and renovation industries, WPC (wood plastic composite) and plastic steel panels are widely applied, thanks to their outstanding durability and weather resistance. Here’s how to distinguish the quality of these two materials.
| Category | WPC Boards | Plastic Steel Boards |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
|
| Material Composition | Composite of wood fiber and recycled plastic; eco-friendly with a natural wood-like appearance. | Blend of high-grade plastic and galvanized steel; high structural strength with a smooth, uniform surface. |
| Density and Weight | Moderate density, relatively light (lighter than plastic steel sheets); tactile feel is natural and not bulky. | High density, significantly heavier; offers a solid, sturdy feel without flimsiness. |
| Water and Moisture Resistance | Excellent water resistance; can be tested by immersion to check for deformation. | Highly water-resistant; generally does not absorb water or deform. |
| Color and Gloss | Natural and uniform color with a smooth surface. | Bright color, high gloss, and free from visible defects. |
| Environmental Performance | Contains wood fiber and requires environmental certification | Environmental performance depends on plastic content and must meet relevant standards. |
| Price Comparison | High quality comes with a higher price – be cautious of low-cost options. | Prices vary by brand and strength; reasonable prices are usually more reliable. |
