Ecoste has been successful in its endeavor to protect the environment and is one of the frontrunners in promoting Green and Eco-friendly products. We at Ecoste believe that our future customers should be made aware of what really goes into the making of WPC Doors, so they don't have any confusion regarding our product and don't hesitate when they go to purchase our WPC Doors.
So, WPC is Wood Polymer Composite Door and “W” in WPC means wood, which is basically wood powder.
So in the making of WPC, we use 70% virgin polymer, 15% Percent Wood Powder and 15% additives which includes, heat stabilisers, foaming agents, lubricants and other sorts of things. Our product is not made on moulds rather it is made via extrusion technology, and because of this technology we can achieve any thickness, be it 18mm, 24mm 30mm, 35mm.
1. Applications
In room door application WPC doors of up to 36 inches width can be used, the same goes with the main gate. However, toilet door in itself is a complex application as the moisture content is too high, so one can use Doors of upto 24 to 36 inches depending on the door frames width. Also, it is a great application when it comes to portable container houses wherein you can use a slim 18mm door.
2. Workability
WPC door can be cut using a normal hand saw without any problem. You can use screws but we don’t recommend nailing over it, rather it is very good for hinges which can also be used. Also, it is compatible with all different sorts of cylinders like cylinder locks moreover any locks can be used in here up to a thickness of 30mm. It is very good with a hand router, you can work easily. Hence, skill and knowledge are things that aren’t required in order to carry out the work on WPC doors.
3. Surface Treatment
Various types of surface treatment can be done on WPC Doors, one can hand polish it or can use PU Gloss, PU Mate, Duco Finish, Melamine Polish, PVC Laminate etc. However, it is very important to note here that we don’t recommend customers using normal lamination because of the absence of a good adhesive present in the market for normal lamination.
