How to choose WPC wall panels?
Browsing the world of modern decoration, we not only pursue beauty, but also increase the demands for environmental protection, multi-function, durability and other aspects. In the coordination of vision and practicality, we find that wood-plastic composite materials are now becoming the leading It is a new trend of building decoration materials in the decoration industry. This kind of WPC wall panel not only has the characteristics of natural wood, but also has the flexibility of plastic. Its weather resistance, easy installation, and zero formaldehyde characteristics have set off a craze in the construction and decoration industry in recent years.
As a popular material in the decoration industry, how should we judge the quality of wpc fluted wall panel and how to choose the wood plastic wall panel that suits us? Let’s take a look.
1. Look at the color.
The conventional color of high-quality wood-plastic wall panels is close to the original wood color of wood, which is more wood-yellow. The cutouts are also like wood, with no obvious gaps in the instant noodles and no black spots. If you see such characteristics, you can buy with confidence. If you see obvious foaming or particles in the wallboard, it means that the degree of foaming during the production process of the product is too large, which will affect the firmness of the product and affect the service life of the product.
2.Discuss the smell.
Wood-plastic composite wall panels are made of PVC resin, calcium powder, and wood powder, which are mixed and extruded at high temperatures. A large amount of wood powder makes the wall panels smell like bamboo. If you bring the wall panel to your nose and smell it, and there is a pungent smell, then the wall panel may be made of recycled waste materials. If you just smell a log smell that is close to natural wood, So this is a wall panel made of new materials.
3. Look at the weight.
When purchasing wood-plastic wall panels, you should measure the weight of the wall panels. The weight per meter of the fluted wall panel that is relatively recognized in the industry is between 800g and 900g. If the product weighs less than 800g per meter, it means that the product is foamed. To a greater extent, the product is not strong enough. If the product weight is greater than 900g per meter, it means too much calcium powder is added. Under normal circumstances, wall panels will be relatively light in weight. At this time, you must pay attention to the fact that such wall panels have poor data quality.
4. Look at the membrane paper on the surface.
When conducting quality inspection of wood-plastic wall panels, the state of the membrane paper on the surface of the product also needs to be considered. If the membrane paper on the surface is completely attached to the wallboard without any abnormalities, you can buy it with confidence. If you see slight bubbles on the surface of the membrane paper, you need to pay attention. This is the final step for industrial lamination. If one process is not done well, such wall panels will easily develop blistering and other phenomena over time, affecting the appearance of the wall panels.
5. Look at the flexibility of the wood veneer.
Some wood-plastic wall panels, such as wood veneer, can be bent. It can heat the back of the wood veneer according to your needs to achieve the angle you want. This is why the wood veneer can be very The reason why it is good to install it on bent pipes, right angles, and wrapped columns is that if the wooden veneer can be bent well without being broken, such a wall panel is worth recommending. If the wall panel is very brittle, it will break as soon as it is bent. , then this is a defective product.
6. Check the strength of the wood-plastic wall panels.
The solidity of wood-plastic wall panels after installation is also an important indicator of the quality of the wall panels. After the installation of high-quality wood-plastic wall panels is completed, heavy objects can be hung on the surface of the wall panels. Common ones we have include TV sets, hanging paintings, etc. This requires the wall panels to have a certain strength, so we need to check them during quality inspection. To check the sturdiness of the wall panel, bend the wall panel hard to see if the product is too brittle and will break as soon as you bend it.
7. Waterproof and fireproof properties of wood-plastic wall panels.
High-quality wood-plastic wall panels have high waterproof and fire-retardant properties. Because wood-plastic wall panels are often installed in humid places such as kitchens and toilets, you need to check the waterproof performance of the wall panels. High-quality wall panels should be sprayed on Water will not affect the use of the product, but some products will bubble, mold, or even rot after being sprayed with water, which indicates that they are inferior products. At the same time, the fire resistance of the product is also a factor that needs to be considered. High-quality products can reach B1 level flame retardancy, will not be ignited when encountering fire, and are self-extinguishing when removed from the fire, and their service life can reach 20 years. But inferior products do not have this advantage.
8. Environmental protection indicators.
In addition to the smell method mentioned above, you can also use professional testing equipment to detect formaldehyde indicators in the environment. I believe that through professional environmental testing technology, the environmental protection index of wall panels will be significantly higher.
During the above testing process, you know that the strength of the product and the consistency of the surface panel presentation will affect the quality of the product. These testing indicators will determine the final presentation effect of the product. Therefore, you must pay attention when conducting sample testing or product quality inspection. Check the above indicators to ensure that you are buying a high-quality, sturdy and durable product.
