wpc flooring thickness

When choosing outdoor wpc flooring, thickness is an important consideration.

The most commonly used wpc flooring thickness on the market is 25mm.

So why is there this “standard” and what about other thicknesses of flooring?

This is actually determined by the cost and force of the floor.

From a cost perspective, 25mm wpc flooring can ensure a certain strength and durability during manufacturing without increasing material and production costs too much.

From a force perspective, 25mm thickness can withstand general outdoor use pressure, such as pedestrians walking, slight collisions, etc.

Of course, if your outdoor space needs to withstand heavier pressure or you want the floor to be more durable, you can choose a thicker floor.

For example, 30mm, 35mm or even 40mm floors have stronger load-bearing capacity and durability than 25mm floors.

However, correspondingly, the price of these floors will be higher.

On the contrary, if your budget is limited or the use pressure of the outdoor space is not great, you can consider choosing 20mm or thinner floors.

Although their load-bearing capacity and durability are slightly inferior, they are more attractive in terms of price.

In addition to thickness, the material and craftsmanship of the floor are also factors to consider.

For example, for the same 25mm floor, solid wood will be more durable than composite but more expensive, while floors that have been specially treated (such as anti-corrosion and moisture-proof) will be more suitable for use in humid or rainy environments.

There is no fixed “standard” for choosing the thickness of outdoor wpc flooring, but it should be determined according to your actual needs and budget.

As long as you do sufficient research and comparison before purchasing, I believe you will be able to find the floor that suits you best.
