WPC Door Frames & Doors
WPC Door Frames
WPC door frames from EKOTimber are built to be as dense as wood, can be worked upon with the same technique and tools as used / adopted for natural wood, poses a high screw holding and nail holding capacity. These door frames come with various advantages over natural wood as illustrated below, but most importantly cost effectiveness, water – termite – acid proof.
What is WPC
WPC is a sustainable alternative to wood as a building material, which is made by integrating thermoplastics with wood flour. Wood Plastic Composites as they are called have the feel and look of wood, but they are more durable and can also be recycled.
Why switch to WPC products
WPC looks and feels like wood & allow carpenters the convenience of using the same tools as used on wood. Being a manufactured product it is consistent in design and texture, while having additional mechanical and physical properties over natural wood. So it’s an intelligent alternative to wood that is eco-friendly & helps preserve our green cover, while at the same time it helps save valuable time energy and money.
Why isWPC so exciting
Since WPC manufacturing starts as paste, it can be molded to any shape & size. This flexibility extends also to colour and texture. From a functional point of view, the moisture & UV resistant property of WPC products allows for better structural integrity while it also allows the material to retain its aesthetics longer.
