PVC foam board and laminate have many similarities and many differences. They are both synthetic materials made from plastic. As the name implies, PVC or polyvinyl chloride is used to make PVC foam boards. Composite panels, on the other hand, contain different types of plastic (which may include polyethylene or polypropylene) as well as wood or bamboo powder. Laminates containing wood flour are also known as WPC or wood-plastic composite panels. Below are some of the differences between PVC and WPC laminates.
PVC Foam Board
This PVC foam board does not contain any additives that may help it to prevent the linear expansion of the board and the underlying molecules when applying heat to the board. As a result, the long-chain molecules will expand whenever heat affects them. The expansion can be very pronounced and can make the use of the board dangerous. Composite panels, on the other hand, consist of wood flooring and plastic and contain certain additives that prevent expansion. They, therefore, retain their length and structure even in the presence of heat and warmth for long periods of time.
Wood-plastic composites offer greater flexibility and can be easily bent, routed, and torn to fit the contours of any space. On the other hand, you can't route the edges of a PVC board and would need even more tools to make any modifications. Therefore, you need to prefer WPC panels if you want to fit the panels perfectly into the available space.
WPC Celuka Foam Board
PVC panels exhibit a synthetic homogeneity and are less attractive, with a poorer aesthetic and feel. Because WPC laminates have wood dust, they have a true wood grain carving and imprint, giving a more natural, realistic color and a more pleasing appearance. As a result, laminate flooring and planks improve the aesthetic appeal of any given space.
Both WPC boards and PVC boards have excellent moisture and water resistance. As WPC boards also resist temperature changes better and do not expand or contract with temperature changes, they are even better than PVC boards when used in wet and humid conditions.
WPC Celuka Foam Board
WPC boards offer better slip resistance due to their built-in wood grain. If your deck is located in a rainy area or exposed to water, you should prefer to use WPC boards as they reduce the risk of slips, accidents, and falls.
WPC boards offer several advantages over PVC boards. There are differences between the two types of boards due to the different molecular grade compositions of the boards. WPC boards are more finely processed and also contain the necessary additives to make them more useful even in adverse conditions.
