WPC Decking or PVC Decking: Which is the Better Choice for Your Home?

Ventura India

Outdoor spaces like terraces, balconies, patios, and pool decks are now treated as everyday living areas, driving demand for durable flooring solutions such as WPC and PVC decking. WPC offers a natural wood-like texture, perfect for stylish outdoor settings, while PVC provides waterproofing and low maintenance for moisture-prone areas. Ventura’s Legnodeck WPC Decking combines durability with refined aesthetics, making it suitable for Indian outdoor conditions.

What Is WPC Decking?

WPC decking, or Wood Plastic Composite decking, is made by combining natural wood fibres with recycled plastic. This blend provides the warmth and texture of wood while improving resistance to moisture, weathering, and surface wear. WPC deck flooring is available in formats such as WPC decking boards for structured layouts and WPC decking tiles for modular designs. Ventura Legnodeck WPC Decking enhances these qualities with UV resistance, a smooth finish, and structural stability, making it suitable for diverse Indian climates.

Benefits of WPC Decking

  • Natural wood-like appearance with realistic texture
  • High resistance to cracking, splintering, and fading
  • Slip-resistant surface for safer outdoor use
  • Eco-friendly, made with recycled materials
  • Durable and long-lasting under outdoor conditions

Applications of WPC Decking

  • Balconies and terraces
  • Patios and garden seating areas
  • Poolside decks and walkways
  • Modular outdoor flooring for easy layout changes

What Is PVC Decking?

PVC decking is a synthetic outdoor flooring made from polyvinyl chloride. It contains no wood fibres, so it is non-porous and water-resistant. Lightweight, mould-resistant, and easy to install, PVC deck boards are well-suited for poolside and coastal areas. They require very little maintenance, usually simple surface cleaning.

WPC vs PVC: Detailed Comparison
