wood Polymer decking is a man-made building product that includes an approximate

equal mix of recycled wood fibers and recycled plastic. Because composite wpc decking

products are so durable and impervious to rot, they have a much longer lifespan than wood

decks. They do not require the staining, sanding, sealing, and board replacement that come

along with wood decks. Even though they require more initial investment, a composite deckmore than makes up for that initial cost over the lifespan of the deck.

With the many advantages of composite decking, such as lower maintenance and being resistantto mold and insects, composite decking has been deemed one of the most durable decking productson the market today.

Composite wood is one kind of composite materials, it is called WPC in China. or wood plastic composite decking.
Composite wood is engineered/manufactured wood that imitates the look of natural hardwood — with some advantages regarding durability and maintenance[1]. It’s often considered the eco-friendly alternative because it can be made from recycled wood and plastic (a composite of these materials)!

It can be a little more expensive to install than natural wood, but you’ll have less maintenance over time, so it’s important to do some basic calculations to decide which investment is better for you in the long run.

Plastic chamber is a kind of well made of plastic, some are very large, people can enter, some are very small, can only wear cables. At present, our plastic well is made of SMC, which has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. In China, this kind of plastic well is widely used in construction sites.

A manhole, or inspection chamber, is an access point to an underground utility network, such as a drainage system. The presence of a drain or sewer manhole allows the underground pipes to be inspected, surveyed, unblocked, cleaned, or repaired.

Guidance on the design, location, and structure of manhole and inspection chambers is governed in the UK by Building Regulations. Manhole chambers are typically located at one of three points in a drainage system:

Where a branch drain joins a main drainage pipe in the system
When there is a straight run of piping for more than 22 metres
Where a drain or sewer pipe changes direction horizontally by more than 30 degrees
As well as giving access to drains and sewers, manhole chambers are an important temporary storage point for water. They allow water to build up in the drainage system rather than flood out straight away.

While working on pipe systems, drainage engineers may deliberately block a pipe and use the manhole in the same way, to store waste water before letting it flow away once the drainage task is complete.

Using electric drill to lead hole on keel, then screw into drill hole, fix keel on cement ground, nail head should be rotated into keel, do not expose outside, otherwise the floor layout may be uneven.


The space between joist “L” also can according to the request to adjust. if popular Places with many tourists (Place of interests,etc.) The distance should be less than 250mm.

2-Fixation of WPC keel—Expansion screw can help to fix the joist/keel into the concrete floor.

The fixation of wood plastic keel is to use expansion screws to fix the wood plastic keel directly above the ground,
