How do long-term maintenance costs of WPC compare to teak armchairs?
When comparing the long-term maintenance costs of WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) and teak armchairs, several factors come into play. WPC requires minimal upkeep—no sealing, staining, or sanding—making it a low-maintenance option. It resists rot, insects, and moisture, reducing repair costs over time.
Teak, while naturally durable, demands periodic oiling or sealing to maintain its appearance and prevent weathering. Without proper care, teak can gray and develop cracks, increasing long-term expenses.
Initial costs favor WPC, but teak’s longevity (50+ years) may offset higher maintenance if properly cared for. For budget-conscious buyers, WPC offers a balance of affordability and ease, while teak suits those willing to invest in classic aesthetics and upkeep.
