What are the differences between outdoor wood-plastic flooring and solid wood flooring?

Outdoor wood-plastic flooring and solid wood flooring are two common types of flooring materials. The differ in terms of material, performance, durability, and so on. The following will provide a detailed explanation of the specific differences between the two.

In terms of material. Outdoor wood-plastic flooring is a composite material made by extruding wood powder and polyethylene under high temperature. Solid wood flooring is made from natural wood. It retains the natural texture and the roughness of the raw wood.

In terms of performance, outdoor wood-plastic flooring has good waterproof properties. Its main raw material, polyethylene, has very little hygroscopicity towards water. It can effectively prevent the floor from becoming damp and deformed. And solid wood flooring, due to the fiber structure of natural wood. Sensitive to moisture. Prone to swelling, deforming, or molding when exposed to water.

Outdoor wood-plastic flooring has strong weather resistance. After processing, outdoor wood-plastic flooring can withstand the effects of extreme weather conditions such as sunlight, rain, high temperatures, and low temperatures. It does not fade, crack or deform easily. Solid wood flooring has poor adaptability to climate conditions. It is prone to deformation due to factors such as moisture, heat, and cold.

Outdoor wood-plastic flooring is more environmentally friendly. It uses recycled materials. It can reduce the cutting down of trees. Reduce the consumption of forest resources. In line with environmental protection principles. And solid wood flooring requires a large amount of wood processing and manufacturing. There is a significant consumption of forest resources.

For outdoor wood-plastic flooring manufacturers, from the perspective of installation and maintenance. Outdoor wood-plastic flooring is relatively lightweight. It is relatively easy and quick to install. Solid wood flooring requires a relatively complex installation process. And experienced construction workers are required for the installation. The installation period is relatively long. In addition, the maintenance of outdoor wood-plastic flooring is relatively simple. Daily cleaning only requires wiping with a damp cloth. In addition, the maintenance of outdoor wood-plastic flooring is relatively simple, while solid wood flooring requires regular waxing, oiling and other complex maintenance procedures.
