How does WPC’s resistance to rot compare to pressure-treated pine in outdoor sofa frames?

When choosing materials for outdoor sofa frames, durability and resistance to rot are critical factors. WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) and pressure-treated pine are two popular options, but how do they compare in terms of rot resistance?

WPC is engineered to resist rot, mold, and insect damage due to its plastic content, making it highly durable in wet or humid conditions. Unlike natural wood, WPC doesn’t absorb moisture, significantly reducing the risk of decay over time.

Pressure-treated pine, while chemically treated to resist rot and pests, is still susceptible to moisture absorption and eventual degradation. Over time, the treatment can wear off, leaving the wood vulnerable to rot and fungal growth.

In summary, WPC outperforms pressure-treated pine in long-term rot resistance, making it a superior choice for outdoor sofa frames that require minimal maintenance and maximum durability.
