The New Garden Favorite That is Not Afraid of Severe Cold, Wood Plastic Decking

The cold wind howled. The cold winter is coming, and many people are looking to create a warm and comfortable relaxing space in their courtyard. As a new favorite, plastic wood decking is very popular among homeowners. Because it not only has a natural and smooth texture, but also has super weather resistance. So, how cold-resistant is plastic wood decking in winter?

What should you pay attention to when using it in winter?

First of all, the cold resistance of plastic wood decking is great. Plastic wood decking uses a special combination of materials. By compounding wood fiber with plastic, the surface is wrapped with a polymer protective layer, making it super weather-resistant and waterproof. It can withstand the erosion of low temperature, ice, snow and moisture, and is not easily deformed, cracked or faded. Even during the freezing and thawing process of rain and snow, the appearance of wood plastic decking will not change significantly.

Secondly, the wood-plastic decking will have expansion joints designed during installation. Expansion joints are used to provide expansion space for the deck at different temperatures to avoid cracking of the deck due to temperature changes.In winter, the plastic wood deck is in a state of shrinkage. In order to avoid the thermal expansion effect of the deck when the weather warms up, a gap of 3-8mm should be left.Good-quality wood-plastic decking will not have very obvious thermal expansion and contraction, and will not have a significant change in appearance. It can ensure the stability and service life of the deck!
