How does WPC compare to pure plastic or pure wood in terms of outdoor seating lifespan?

When choosing outdoor seating, lifespan is a critical factor. Wood-plastic composite (WPC) offers a unique balance between the durability of plastic and the natural appeal of wood. Pure plastic seating is highly resistant to moisture and insects but can degrade under prolonged UV exposure. Pure wood, while aesthetically pleasing, requires regular maintenance to prevent rot, warping, and insect damage.

WPC combines the best of both materials: it resists moisture, UV rays, and pests like plastic while mimicking wood's appearance. Unlike wood, WPC doesn’t need staining or sealing, reducing long-term maintenance. Studies show WPC can last 10-20 years outdoors, outperforming untreated wood and matching or exceeding high-quality plastics.

For longevity with minimal upkeep, WPC is an excellent choice for outdoor seating, blending durability with natural aesthetics.
