How To Choose The Right WPC Decking Color?
Choosing the right color for a WPC decking depends on various factors such as personal preference, the overall aesthetics of the space, and the atmosphere you want to create, so there is no one fixed answer. Before you make your decision, here are some tips to help you choose the right color for your WPC decking.
Geographic location of the WPC decking installation area
If you live in a temperate, wooded area, such as Singapore and New Zealand, choose a light coffee or light gray is the best, so that your patio deck will perfectly match the surrounding environment, can achieve a better decorative effect.
WPC decking can get hot when exposed to the sun for a long time, if you live in a tropical area or if you want to lay WPC decking in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day. In this case, you can choose to install a light-colored WPC decking, such as teak, white or light gray, because the light-colored deck is much less heat absorption than the dark deck, which can make you comfortable barefoot walking on the deck.
If the place where the WPC decking is installed is located in the northwest countries, such as Finland, Norway, Switzerland and Russia, the northwest region has short sunshine time, weak heat absorption ability, dark coffee and red brown such warm colors are the best choice, when you drink coffee or walk on the red brown plastic wood deck, you will feel warm.
Consider how the decking color matches the surrounding colors
When you decide to install WPC decking, the color choice becomes the most important thing, the right WPC decking color can complement the surrounding environment. First of all, you have to consider the color of the house, we recommend a little contrast between the WPC decking and the color of the house. If your house has a bright exterior color or a modern architectural style, you can use gray plastic wood decking. If your home is white, all colors of plastic wood decking will match it perfectly. If you live in the countryside or have an unpainted exterior, we recommend using brown or reddison-brown plastic wood decks to create a natural space with a more traditional ambience.
Transition between indoor and outdoor
When we move from one space to another, the visual transition is also very important, so you can choose a WPC decking color that is close to the color of the indoor floor, so that you can maintain the visual coherence of the indoor and outdoor space, creating a more harmonious appearance.
Maintenance cost
Keep in mind that light-colored decks stain easily and are more prone to scuffs and scratches than darker decks. If you expect heavy pedestrian traffic, or if you have young children or pets, you may want to choose a color that is more forgiving of these imperfections.For example, black or dark brown, dark WPC decking is easier to clean and maintain.
