What are the differences in thermal bridging potential between WPC and resin?
Thermal bridging is a critical factor in material selection for construction and insulation applications. When comparing Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) and resin, significant differences in thermal bridging potential emerge. WPC, a blend of wood fibers and thermoplastics, tends to have lower thermal conductivity compared to resin, which is often a pure polymer. This lower conductivity in WPC reduces the likelihood of thermal bridging, making it a better insulator. Resin, on the other hand, can act as a thermal bridge due to its higher conductivity, potentially leading to energy loss and reduced insulation efficiency. Understanding these differences is essential for choosing the right material based on thermal performance and energy-saving goals.
