What Should We Pay Attention To When Installing Plastic Wood Profiles

1. When installing, do you need to leave a gap? Need to consider drainage, sweeping and slight thermal expansion/contraction and other factors, wood-plastic profile installation, side to side, head to head must be left with appropriate clearance. Plastic wood will not expand and shrink because of the humidity and dryness of the environment, but it will expand and shrink to a certain extent according to the change of temperature, so there are gaps on the edge to the edge and head to head, especially in winter installation, special attention should be paid to 2. Is there any requirement for the span of plastic wood during installation? It is required that the span of the supporting beam should not be too large when the wood-plastic profile is installed. Installation may require shorter spacing under special operating conditions or unusual load conditions, such as hot water baths. Relevant data can be provided by the supplier when designing. Please do some engineering analysis before installation. 3. Can plastic wood profiles be used as structural parts? May not. Although ordinary wood-plastic profiles have high strength and toughness, they do not have the same bending strength as wood, so they can not be used as structural parts. However, the modified glass fiber reinforced plastic wood has high flexural strength and can be used for structural parts. 4. What type of screw is suitable for plastic wood profiles? It is recommended to use high-quality screw such as stainless steel, hot-dip galvanized, especially self-tapping screw, which will help to increase the screw grip force. 5. How to process wood and plastic? Do you need special tools? Wood is as easy to process as wood, and in some ways even easier. Only ordinary wood processing tools can be used to cut and drill plastic wood. 6. What should we pay attention to when installing plastic wood? Answer: Plastic wood material has the same processing characteristics as wood. It can be sawed, drilled and nailed with common tools, which is very convenient and can be used like wood. Two key points should be paid attention to: (1) Strictly according to the span requirement stipulated by the manufacturer, because plastic wood material has greater creep than wood, too large span will cause potential safety hazards; (2) Considering drainage and cleaning. For reasons such as sweeping, slight thermal expansion, cold shrinkage and so on, when plastic wood is used for flooring and wall protection, proper clearance must be left between side to side and head to head. 7. How to maintain and maintain plastic wood? Even in the outdoor wind and sunshine, plastic wood will not rot, crack or crack, in addition to the ability to resist ultraviolet radiation, do not need special maintenance. 8. Does low temperature weather affect wood sculpture? Plastic wood still performs well even in low temperature weather. However, because plastic accounts for 50% of the composition of plastic wood, it will become brittle because of hardening in extremely low temperature weather, and the lowest use temperature can reach - 40 C. 9. Can plastic wood profiles be bent? Yes? By heating, plastic wood can bend to a certain extent. 10. Does wood plastic need paint? No, wood plastic itself has the effects of anti-corrosion, moisture-proof, fire prevention and moth-proof. We have a variety of colours to choose from.
