About Smart WPC
WPC stands for wood plastic composite. The board combines wood fibre with plastic, which makes it far less sensitive to water than plain wood. That is why it is a popular choice for bathroom cabinets, kitchen base units, balcony fittings and door frames.
Smart WPC can be cut, drilled and screwed much like wood, so your carpenter can work with it using familiar tools.

Where to choose WPC over plywood
| Use | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Near a sink or tap | WPC handles splashes and humidity better than ordinary boards. |
| Bathrooms and wash areas | WPC is a safer choice where air stays damp. |
| Dry rooms | Plywood is usually enough for bedrooms and living rooms. |
How to choose
Use WPC where water or humidity is a regular part of the room. For dry rooms, plywood is normally enough and often more economical.
