What are the differences in thermal insulation between WPC and polycarbonate tree boxes?

When comparing the thermal insulation properties of WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) and polycarbonate tree boxes, several key differences emerge. WPC tree boxes offer moderate thermal insulation due to their composite nature, blending wood fibers with plastic to create a material that retains heat better than pure plastic but less effectively than solid wood. Polycarbonate tree boxes, on the other hand, provide superior thermal insulation because of their high thermal resistance and ability to reflect heat. This makes polycarbonate a better choice for urban landscaping in extreme climates, where temperature fluctuations can stress tree roots. Additionally, polycarbonate's lightweight and durability make it a practical option for long-term use, while WPC's natural aesthetic appeals to projects prioritizing visual harmony. Understanding these differences helps in selecting the right material for specific environmental and design needs.
