Alstone Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) Boards are being used extensively as an alternative to conventional boards. These boards offer ease of workability both at the carpenter level as well as on machines. A suitable solution for tropical conditions is the use of boards that are water-proof, warp-proof, and long-lasting.
It is a clever solution that has evolved as an alternative for wood and wood-based plywood products, meeting demands that are not met by wood.
WPC is a modern and environmentally friendly composite material made out of 60% PVC, 30% rice and wheat husk, and 10% calcium carbonate board and additives. Furthermore, because of its strength and durability, it is considered the finest Plywood alternative. In addition, the main benefit of WPC is that it retains all the positive qualities of wood while completely eliminating the negative aspects associated with wood.
