WPC Siding is a robust material that serves as your properties’ first line of defense against strong weather disturbances and harsh living conditions. Like other outdoor wall claddings in the Philippines, WPC Siding has its advantages and disadvantages that should be understood to use it better. Learn more about this material by reading about its do’s and don’ts.
Do: Install WPC Siding in Exteriors
WPC Siding is meant for outdoor wall cladding applications. You can differentiate its look from interior wall finishing material with its thickness and surface finish. It has strong features that brace against strong harsh outdoor conditions like the changing weather, strong impact, and constant traffic exposure. Because of these features, WPC Siding does not easily discolor nor fade, even when outside. It is also resistant to pests, rotting, and moisture.
Don’t: Ignore manufacturer’s guidelines.
The key to a long lasting WPC Siding (or any material for that matter) is knowing how to install it properly! While WPC Siding is a common alternative to other common exterior materials, each of them have different installation guides that are necessary to ensure that water will not penetrate in between the material. To know more about WPC Siding installation, you can ask help from your local WPC Siding suppliers.
Do: Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
One of WPC Siding’s strongest features is its low maintenance properties. It does need to be repainted or cleaned thoroughly every now and then. But while it is indeed low maintenance, it is important to clean it with soap and water to wash away accumulated dirt from its surface, and to inspect it especially after a strong typhoon. Identifying these problems can save you time, money, and effort, and can also help you address these quickly to prevent further damage.
Don’t: Use Chemicals to Clean the Floor
The classic mistake of end-users using the material is cleaning WPC Siding in anything aside from soap and water. While this applies to other exteriors of different materials, using chemicals like paint thinner, bleach, and other harsh chemicals can cause the material to be damaged. WPC Siding suffering from this will look old and faded.
Do: Know the product before buying and installing
Knowledge about the product can save you money and effort. If you’re looking for a durable yet affordable option, then WPC Siding is for you! Knowing how to install it beforehand and learning about its features can help you understand how to troubleshoot simple issues that may arise. Comparing your options and knowing what’s suitable for your exterior will help its longevity. Check the finishes and colors available, so you can have the perfect aesthetic that fits the home improvement magazine covers.
Don’t: Install without professional workmanship
Unlike other finishing materials, WPC Siding is difficult to navigate with especially if you’re a beginner. This is because wrongful installation can cost you a lot of money, and can stress you out with problems afterwards. Professional installers know how to deal with the product and can install it faster than beginners can. As the old saying goes, “It is better to be safe than sorry. “
