How does the surface hardness of resin compare to WPC for bench seating?
When selecting materials for bench seating, surface hardness is a critical factor affecting durability and comfort. Resin, a synthetic material, typically offers moderate hardness, providing a balance between firmness and flexibility. It resists scratches and dents but may soften slightly in high temperatures. WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite), on the other hand, tends to be harder due to its wood fiber content, offering greater resistance to indentation. However, WPC can be more brittle in cold climates. For outdoor bench seating, resin is often preferred for its resilience, while WPC is favored for its rigid, wood-like feel. Both materials require minimal maintenance, making them popular for public and commercial spaces.
