Wood plastic composite or WPC is a versatile material with a wide range of uses. This meticulously crafted mixture of fine wood fibers and thermoplastics is both malleable and durable, making it a viable alternative to traditional wood, stone, and other materials

WPC wood has several key features that set it apart from its more traditional counterparts. This material is known to be resistant to the elements, possesses the look of natural timber, and is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. This unique blend of features paired with its malleable nature makes WPC viable for a range of uses. Some of the most common applications include:

Architecture

WPC wood is used in architectural features such as wall claddings and indoor and outdoor ceiling panels.

Wall Cladding

Wall cladding is a process in which one material is layered on top of another to create a protective layer over a structure. This ensures that the internal structures of a building area are protected from potential hazards such as water damage. Aside from its top-notch protective properties, wall claddings also provide a rustic look on the exterior of a building, making it look more warm and organic yet sleek and modern.

GRM Biowood’s wall cladding offers not just durability and guaranteed heat insulation but also visual value and a wide range of finishes making it suitable for both residential and commercial buildings.

Ceiling

The architectural application of wood plastic composite is not limited to wall claddings. WPC is also ideal for ceiling panels.

Wood ceiling panels are a staple in Philippine homes as well as in commercial establishments. Wood ceilings can enhance an outdoor space by reducing echoes and improving the acoustics of your space, insulating inhabitants or customers against the tropical heat, and elevating the aesthetic appeal of the building.

We at GRM Biowood pride ourselves in providing a wide range of wood ceiling panel products that apply to a diverse list of projects., from residential exteriors to healthcare facilities.

Interior Design

WPC is not just limited to the outdoors. The versatility of this composite material allows it to also be utilized in indoor spaces.

Interior wood wall claddings can transform a previously sterile-looking interior into one that is both warm and inviting and aesthetically pleasing. It is also adaptable to a number of design styles from minimalist to coastal to Hollywood glam, and even to contemporary.

WPC floors are also ideal for indoor spaces as it is easy to clean and resistant to the constant wear and tear that indoor floors undergo. These features make them ideal for high-traffic indoor areas such as living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, and even bedrooms.

Outdoor Spaces

Wood plastic composite is a perfect material for outdoor areas such as poolside decks, wraparound porches, balconies, and patios. It can also be used in landscaping as steps or as railings to section one area from another.

WPC deckings can help enrich an outdoor space by providing it with a rustic or coastal feel, additional space for seating areas, and an excellent backdrop for decorations such as plants, lamps, and outdoor statement pieces.

WPC wood is durable, resistant to moisture and heat, as well as termite repellent, making it an ideal material to withstand the tropical Philippine outdoors. GRM Biowood’s decking products require less maintenance and are not prone to splinters and breaking thanks to their unique composition.

Furniture Material

Its malleability and versatility make WPS a viable material for furniture building. Wood plastic composite can be used as materials for outdoor furniture such as benches, picnic chairs, and tables, as well as for indoor shelves, vanities, and closets.

WPC is not just resistant to heat and moisture but to UV rays as well, meaning it will not easily fade even when exposed directly to the sun. This along with its rot-proof feature makes it an ideal material for furniture that is constantly exposed to the Philippine sun.

As it is made of recycled wood fibers and thermoplastics, wood plastic composites are not just a versatile material choice for both indoor and outdoor furniture, it is an eco-friendly and sustainable option as well.

Key Takeaway

Thanks to its versatile applications, WPC stands out not just as a viable alternative to traditional wood and other composite materials but as a reliable and long-lasting material in its own right.
