Introduction
Living near the beach is the ultimate dream for some people. The fresh sea breeze, getting that good early morning sunlight, and the sound of waves can help boost your mood and your health. However, coastal living also means constantly facing unpredictable weather and constant home maintenance.
If you are building your beach house or simply renovating beloved old bones, choosing materials that are long-lasting and low-maintenance is the goal. With so many options out there, it can be confusing and frustrating to find the right fit.
Here are some reasons why WPC is the perfect choice for coastal homes.
Coastal weather can wreak havoc on your house’s exterior. While most people often think of seawater as the only thing to look out for. Here in the Philippines, flooding is a major concern, especially in properties that are located closer to the water. But you’ll encounter unique problems from the other elements as well.
Take the air for instance – wind-driven salt can gradually strip the paint off your walls. Salty sea air can help your metal finishings rust faster. Humidity can breed mold. This is where GRM Biowood’s WPC can be a great solution for you.
Our wood-plastic composite or WPC is made from finely ground wood, PVC, or uPVC plastic, purposeful additives, and intricately bonded together using a specialized adhesive. WPCs are water-resistant – significantly reducing the risk of mold and mildew. All these features make WPC more equipped to face the constant maintenance challenges you’ll often encounter in coastal homes.
WPC is also versatile – you can use it in your outdoor decks, wall claddings, and ceilings.
Wood-plastic composite is easier to install and can last longer than traditional wood thanks to its high-quality and high-end surface treatment.
You’ll find no splinters or cracks in your WPC. Constantly having to replace your wall slats and floor panels due to the wear and tear of humans and the weather is also reduced with wood-plastic composite.
While traditional timber materials have to be sourced from cut trees, WPC is more environmentally friendly. It’s a wonderful meeting of practicality and sustainability – you won’t need to constantly replace, repaint, and resand your walls, decks, and ceilings, you’ll also support a more eco-friendly product that is made to last.
Maintaining your beach house or any other coastal property means investing time and money. With WPC you’ll not just save time by breezing through your usual monotonous maintenance routine, but in not having to constantly replace every wooden surface you have, you will also save money in the long run.
We use wood constantly in decorating coastal homes. It’s present in a lot of themes – from an under-the-sea theme to something more nautical-oriented. Using a more lightweight material like WPC can offer you more creative liberty in your designs.
Since it can be used in your ceilings, walls, and deckings, you can use WPC either to emphasize certain aspects or to ground your space. It adds ambiance to your spaces whenever you are entertaining guests, hosting family gatherings, or simply whenever you want to sit and enjoy the silence.
You can rent out your coastal home either as an Airbnb or as a venue for different events. Adding WPC to your coastal home does not just end at making your space visually pleasing – its value goes up as well.

With the right materials, you can not just make your dream beach house come to life but ensure that it stands the test of time and the elements. With wood-plastic composite, you can do both. This is why WPC is the perfect choice for coastal homes.
