Why is composite called an innovative material?
When it appeared on the terrace coating market, it was able to become the best alternative to many of the materials that we are used to in terms of properties and quality.
In terms of strength and ease of maintenance, composite decking is not inferior to stone or tile.
In appearance, it boldly competes with elite wood species.
That is, WPC terrace systems today are an ideal choice for any type of coverage, especially if it is located in an open space. No other can so successfully compete simultaneously with wood, stone and tiles.
Let’s look in more detail at the options for using composite terraces.
Outdoor terraces and gazebos
The most common use of WPC boards is terraces and gazebos.
After all, in good weather, we always try to spend a lot of time in the fresh air.
Therefore, especially in private houses, country estates or summer cottages, we often build an open terrace. Our desire for maximum comfort and naturalness greatly limits the choice of material for flooring. After all, it should be as durable and strong as possible and not require much attention to care for it.
Terrace composite board is a combination of naturalness and modern production technologies that make it as durable and wear-resistant as possible. It does not need to be protected from insects and fungi, excessive moisture and mold. No need to re-treat each season before use.
And only a professional terrace builder can distinguish WPC from natural wood.
Composite today is chosen not only for private terraces, but also for open areas of cafes and restaurants, summer cinemas, park areas.
Pools
Excess water is a tough test for any coating.
After all, not a single, even the most expensive wood can withstand several seasons in the pool area, because constant moisture will irreparably destroy it.
Stone and tile are more comfortable for spaces near the water: pools, artificial ponds or fountains. But the ability to withstand large volumes of water is not a guarantee of safety.
Stone and tiles are prone to mould, are very slippery and get very hot in hot weather and cool quickly in bad weather.
The composite is protected from the inside with special additives that make it resistant to any moisture. It has been lying by the pools for decades and looks like it was installed just yesterday.
In addition, the terrace board is many times less heated in the sun. So you can walk on it barefoot even in extreme heat.
And if you choose light patio colors such as Bruggan Multicolor Smoke White, Bruggan Elegant Cream Latte or Legro Evolution Fashion White, you will see for yourself that they are 30% cooler than other shades.
Piers, moorings
The reasons for choosing decking for such specific buildings are obvious. Again, large and constant volumes of water that no coating can handle.
Ease of installation and lack of constant maintenance.
Roof terraces
Another modern trend in the era of big cities and dense buildings is to create a green area for recreation on the roof of an apartment building.
It will become a favorite place for all residents. The choice of coverage for such buildings is also limited by weight. After all, it will be very difficult to lay a stone floor on the roof.
So again, the choice of composite is optimal – it feels perfect in any weather, light, strong and hardy.
Bruggan gives a financial guarantee for all terrace systems from 15 to 25 years, depending on the collection.
