When it comes to decking solutions, safety is a top priority for homeowners. Non-slip composite decking offers a reliable and durable flooring option that ensures a secure outdoor space for leisure and relaxation. In this article, we will explore the factors to consider when choosing the best non-slip WPC decking to meet your needs and preferences.
Texture: Groove vs. Woodgrain Finishes
The texture of the finishes on composite decking plays a crucial role in determining its slip resistance. At WEWPC, consumers have two options to choose from: natural woodgrain finish or grooved-textured finish. While both options provide slip resistance, grooved-channeled decking offers superior grip compared to woodgrain-finished decking. Therefore, non-slip composite decking with a grooved finish is recommended for enhanced safety and traction.
Mold and Mildew Resistance
The resistance of WPC decking against mold, mildew, and fungus growth is another important factor in ensuring slip resistance. Moisture accumulation over time can lead to slippery surfaces, posing a safety hazard. Our non-slip composite decking is fabricated from materials that are resistant to organic growth, ensuring long-term slip resistance and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces.
Laying Patterns
The direction in which you lay out your WPC decking boards can significantly impact slip resistance. We have observed differences in performance between vertical and horizontal laying patterns during slip resistance testing. To optimize slip resistance, we recommend installing non-slip composite decking in the direction that aligns with the major foot traffic flow. This strategic placement minimizes the risk of slips and falls, ensuring a safe and secure outdoor environment.
Continuous Improvement
At WEWPC, we are committed to continuous innovation and improvement in our WPC decking products. Our three types of WPC decks undergo rigorous testing to enhance their anti-slip properties and ensure optimal safety for homeowners. With advancements in technology, we strive to provide customers with the best non-slip composite decking solutions that meet their unique needs and preferences.
Choosing the best non-slip WPC decking involves considering factors such as texture, mold and mildew resistance, laying patterns, and continuous improvement in product quality. By selecting non-slip composite decking with a groove finish, resistant to organic growth, and strategically installed in the direction of foot traffic, homeowners can create a safe and secure outdoor space for leisure and relaxation. At WEWPC, we are dedicated to providing high-quality non-slip composite decking solutions that prioritize safety and durability.
