What is WPC
WPC is a sustainable alternative to wood as a building material, which is made by integrating thermoplastics with wood flour. Wood Plastic Composites as they are called have the feel and look of wood, but they are more durable and can also be recycled.
Why Switch to WPC products
WPC looks and feels like wood & allow carpenters the convenience of using the same tools as used on wood. Being a manufactured product it is consistent in design and texture, while having additional mechanical and physical properties over natural wood. So it’s an intelligent alternative to wood that is eco-friendly & helps preserve our green cover, while at the same time it helps save valuable time energy and money.

Why is WPC so Exciting
Since WPC manufacturing starts as paste, it can be molded to any shape & size. This flexibility extends also to colour and texture. From a functional point of view, the moisture & UV resistant property of WPC products allows for better structural integrity while it also allows the material to retain its aesthetics longer.
Salient Features of WPC
UV Resistant
It resists the UV rays damage, thanks to a special composition of pigments and UV Absorbers, which make our products fade-resistant.
Eco-friendly
Being a long-life polymer which can be recycled at will, it serves as sustainable alternative to wood, which saves & conserves our forest while also being lead-free.
Termite-proof
Though WPC products from EKO Timber look & feel every bit like real wood, they are termite proof and do not house any pest.
100% Waterproof
It does not absorb water which makes it immune to rot and mould. All you need to do is wipe it with a dry cloth.
High density
Its high density gives it a great screw holding capacity and the strength required for good building material.
Fire-retardant
Unlike wood, it does not catch fire & can be installed in various spaces like kitchens & office cafeterias.
Carpenter Friendly
Unlike wood, WPC is lighter and stronger which makes handling it easier. Also, like wood it can be cut, screwed, engraved, drilled and sawed through.
No shrinking
No more door jams in rainy season as it does not shrink by absorbing water or moisture.
Clean & Odourless
It doesn’t emit any kind of odour.
Weather-resistant & easy to maintain
Since it doesn’t catch moisture, it is an all-weather-resistant.
High load-bearing strength
Several tests have proven WPC is resistant to several strains and twists, which the material may be exposed over its lifetime.
Tough & Well Finished
Manufactured with virgin material which is eco-friendly & high in density WPC is tough on the inside, while being beautifully finished on the outside.
Acid/Alkali Resistant
In the case of acids/alkalis being used to clean floor & wall tiles, our WPC products from EKO Timber remain unaffected by these acids or alkalis.
Splinter-free
It does not splinter, which makes it easy to work with & safe.
100% Recyclable
It can be reused and reclaimed by extruding it, at the end of its life cycle.
Advantages of WPC against wood
WPC products have an advantage over wood in the following areas
Well-Built & Finished
Manufactured with wood fiber & virgin plastic, this high-density material, is durable and looks classy.
Termite-proof
Being naturally termite & pest proof, makes sure it last longer.
High density
The products are engineered to meet the properties of wood, while maintaining a high degree of impact resistance and flexural strength.
Fire-retardant
The panels do not catch, nor fuel fire and can be installed in various spaces like homes and office alike.
Ecofriendly
WPC is a cost-friendly and sustainable alternative to wood, that’s free from lead and formaldehyde.
Carpenter Friendly
