Three reasons why it is not recommended to use natural wood and antiseptic wood paving in outdoor courtyards

As a senior practitioner of wood-plastic composite materials, let me analyze from a professional perspective the three main reasons why it is not recommended to use natural wood and anti-corrosion wood paving on outdoor courtyard balconies:

1. The density of natural wood is small, generally around 0.5g; its loose structure causes it to absorb water and become moldy. Wood absorbs water and becomes moldy due to soaking in water, which is the main culprit of outdoor wood decay. Therefore, the editor does not recommend using natural wood to pave the courtyard. Even natural wood that claims to be treated with anti-corrosion cannot remain as new for a long time and will not absorb water, swell and deform.
2. The quality of natural wooden boards used in courtyards often varies between good and bad. For example, it is not uncommon for outdoor flooring products, which are also plastic wood products, to have poor quality such as surface peeling, warping, deformation, mold and cracking. With plastic wood composite materials, the quality of the wood itself is even more difficult to evaluate. This is also the root cause of the rapid decay and decay of most courtyard wood paving.
3. Wood is generally treated with paint, antifungal agents, carbonization, etc. Therefore, after a period of time, if there is no frequent maintenance or insufficient maintenance, it is very easy to cause large-scale rot and decay. Even if maintenance is carried out on a daily basis, it is difficult to guarantee that the maintenance will not be in place, which will also cause mildew and rot of the boards.
