Insect Proof Wood Composite Flooring: Eco-Friendly Home Solution

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) flooring is revolutionizing eco-friendly home design by offering insect-proof and antibacterial properties. This innovative flooring solution combines durability, sustainability, and low maintenance, making it an ideal choice for modern households.

Insect-Proof: A Natural Defense Against Pests

Traditional wood flooring is susceptible to insect infestations, leading to structural damage and costly repairs. In contrast, WPC flooring is engineered to be insect-resistant. The composite material, made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic, is inedible to termites and other pests, providing a long-lasting defense against infestations.

Antibacterial Properties: Promoting a Healthier Home Environment

WPC flooring is not only resistant to insects but also possesses antibacterial properties. Advanced manufacturing techniques incorporate antimicrobial agents into the flooring, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold. This feature is particularly beneficial in areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms, contributing to a healthier living environment.

However, there are more methods to keep your flooring protected from insects.

1.Proper Installation Gaps: Leave adequate expansion gaps during installation to avoid moisture accumulation, which attracts bugs.

2.Elevated Deck Design: For outdoor composite decking, using pedestals or raised substructures helps deter ground insects from access.

3.Use of Treated Subframes: Pair composite decking with bug-resistant treated lumber or steel frames for extra protection.

4.Silicone Sealing at Edges: Sealing all perimeter edges with insect-repelling caulk adds a final barrier.

5.Routine Cleaning: Regularly remove organic debris using soft brushes and water, eliminating breeding grounds for pests.

Insect-proof and antibacterial wood composite flooring delivers unmatched peace of mind for homeowners and professionals alike. You can choose WPC Flooring with antibacterial and insect repellent properties, like Oakio’s Proshield Flooring. The core is made from carefully selected recycled material and highly dense recycled hardwood fibers that allow for greater strength and durability. The shield uses ball golf material, making it much more moth-proof, weather-resistant, and UV-resistant. Also, you can use new methods to protect your flooring from bugs.
