WPC facade cladding
modern materials in durable quality

WPC façade: the durable alternative in façade construction

A façade cladding made of WPC is the contemporary and innovative alternative to the common materials used in façade construction. Following the trend towards new building materials with sustainable, ecological or biological properties, WPC panels set new standards in façade construction. They require hardly any maintenance, are durable, available in a wide variety of decors, prove to be weather-resistant and, on top of that, are easy to install.

WPC façade cladding: the sustainable façade made of wood and plastic

You think the terms plastic and sustainability are mutually exclusive? Not so with WPC panels! The reason for this is that WPC is generally a recycled product. Polyethylene and polypropylene are used as raw materials. These plastics from the yellow bag are chopped up and melted by heating. Wood fibres are added to this liquid. Normally, this is sawdust, which is produced in the processing industry. However, nut shells, tree bark and wood cuttings also find their way into the chipping and subsequent processing into WPC.

WPC, Wood Plastic Composite, is also produced as BPC, Bamboo Plastic Composite, with BPC being a bit more flexible than WPC due to bamboo's grass-like characteristics.

After the wood fibres and the liquid plastic have been thoroughly mixed, the slurry is poured into moulds. The particular advantage here is that WPC façade cladding can be cast into any shape imaginable, which is hard to beat in terms of design.

WPC wall cladding for outdoor use

A façade made of WPC offers decisive advantages, namely:

• WPC panels are weatherproof as well as resistant to fungal and insect attack.
• An exterior façade made of WPC is UV-resistant & water-resistant.
• WPC façade cladding is installed as rear-ventilated, which means additional insulation and acts as a mould repellent.
• A WPC façade requires hardly any maintenance. The panels can be washed off quickly and easily and do not require painting or oiling.
• The installation of WPC façade cladding is a piece of cake and can be done quite quickly.
• WPC wall cladding for the exterior façade is available in various decors, including wood look, slate or natural stone.
• WPC façade cladding is durable and robust.
• The recycled product WPC façade can be 100% recycled into new WPC panels, which is why WPC meets the requirements as a sustainable building material.
