Park boardwalk recommend using WPC decking

A few days ago, Fuzhou West Lake Park started the boardwalk overhaul, this boardwalk life span have only six years, six years later it had to be repaired, it can not help but question the cost of several million dollars to repair the boardwalk if too much waste? In this regard, Southeast Express reporter interviewed Fuzhou Flowers Forestry Office Director Zhang Chu River. According to him, the boardwalk is only 6 -year life , forestry experts recommend possible future use WPC plank construction .

The reporter of Southeast Express went to Fuzhou West Lake Park , to see the boardwalk has started maintenance work. According to the construction part Mr. Fang Lin described, the price of replacement corrosion resistance wooden decking of pine wood in South of America is much higher than WPC decking, one cubic meter requires three or four thousand dollars. the maintenance are of 1000 meters sidewalk, about 3400 square meters. He said that although using a wood preservative, because of long-term immersion in water, and exposure to the sun and rain , the replacement of a new timber can only use about six years .

In this regard, Fuzhou forestry bureau for flowers director Zhangzhuhe said wood timber is perishable materials, long-term exposure to sun and rain are more easily damaged. The Lake boardwalk half immersed in water , half exposed on the surface of the case , so that moisture suffered heavier normal life span of six years .

He noted that the cost of several million dollars to build a plank road with so short life span is indeed very waste. Therefore, Zhangzhuhe proposed, in the construction of the boardwalk can tale the use of WPC decking into consider. This material combines the characteristics of wood and plastic, longer life span, not perishable .

According to reports, WPC material is booming at home and abroad in recent years, a new kind of composite materials, refers to the use of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, etc. , instead of using the usual resin adhesive, with more than 35% -70 % of the wood flour, rice husk, straw or other plant waste wood fibers are mixed into a new material, and then the plastic processing extrusion, molding, injection molding process to produce the sheet or profiles, there are waterproof, moisture proof properties, WPC products can be solved fundamentally after more water in wet and damp environments perishable water, expansion and deformation of the problem, can be used in the application that traditional wood products can not be applied to.
