FAQ:

  • How durable are KSL WPC & ASA composite products against extreme weather and UV fading?

    KSL composite products are engineered with advanced multi-layer co-extrusion and high-grade ASA polymer capping. They deliver superior Class R11 anti-slip ratings, ultra-low water absorption (<0.5%), and exceptional UV resistance tested for up to 3,000 hours of accelerated weathering. All products are backed by a 15 to 25-year commercial warranty against rotting, cracking, splitting, and structural decay.

  • How do I clean and maintain KSL composite decking and wall siding?

    KSL composite materials are completely zero-maintenance: no painting, staining, oiling, or sanding required. For routine cleaning, simply wash the surface with warm soapy water and a soft-bristle brush, or use a residential pressure washer (under 1500 psi at a safe 30cm distance) to rinse away dirt, pollen, and debris.

  • Architect’s Guide to Dual-Arch WPC Wall Panels: Structural Blueprint, Material Specs, and Facade Installation

    img-mvitvm8d-44f08d6c.png

     Q: What are the exact dimensions and structural features of this double-arch fluted WPC panel?

    A: As shown in our technical blueprint:

    Width: 180 mm (dual-arch design, 90 mm + 90 mm)

    • Thickness / Height: 26 mm (Arc Radius: R45)

    • Structural Strength: Engineered with 2.5 mm heavy-duty outer walls and 1.8 mm internal reinforced ribs (hollow core) for optimal impact resistance and lightweight rigidity.

    • Joint System: Precision tongue-and-groove interlocking mechanism for seamless connection and waterproof performance.

      Q: How is the panel installed on exterior building facades? Are fasteners visible?

    • A: It uses a 100% hidden fastener installation system. The panels are fixed onto standard metal or aluminum keels using stainless steel hidden clips and screws engaged with the tongue-and-groove slot. No screws are visible on the finished surface, ensuring a clean, modern aesthetic with superior wind-load resistance and easy replacement.

    Q: Can we customize the surface colors, lengths, and profile shapes?

    A: Yes. We provide comprehensive OEM & ODM customization services:

    1. Colors & Textures: Teak, Walnut, Charcoal, Oak, Dark Bronze, Stone Gray, and custom RAL/Pantone colors with brushed, embossed wood-grain, or matte micro-groove finishes.

    Q: What is the lead time for 3D drawing samples and what is the MOQ for custom orders?

    A:Digital Proof (2D/3D): 24–48 hours for preliminary CAD & 3D rendering.

    Physical Samples: Standard color sample pieces are free and ready to ship within 1–3 days (courier freight collect). Custom extruded samples take 7–10 days.

    MOQ: Regular stock colors: 200–300 sqm; Custom colors/lengths: 500 sqm; New profile tooling: 1,000 sqm (tooling cost refundable upon reaching contract volume).

  • WPC Industry FAQ

    1. What is WPC decking made of?

    WPC (wood-plastic composite) decking is extruded from a blend of wood fibre and thermoplastic polymer — typically around 60% wood fibre, 30% HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and 10% additives such as colorants, UV stabilisers and coupling agents. Because the material is a composite rather than solid timber, it does not absorb water the way wood does, so it resists rot, mould and insect attack, and it does not need annual staining or sealing. The boards are produced in a continuous extrusion process, which gives a consistent profile, colour and surface pattern from board to board — an important point for large projects that must look uniform.

    2. How long does composite decking last?

    When it is correctly installed on a properly ventilated substructure, composite decking commonly lasts 25 to 50 years or more — far longer than pressure-treated timber, which typically needs replacement or major repair within one to two decades. Service life depends on three things: the quality of the core, whether the board is capped, and site conditions such as UV exposure, drainage and foot traffic. Maintenance is limited to periodic sweeping and an occasional wash with soap and water; no sanding, staining or sealing is required.

    3. What is the difference between co-extruded (capped) decking and traditional uncapped decking?

    Co-extruded decking — also called capped decking — has a protective polymer shell extruded around the composite core. That outer layer is what resists fading, staining, scratching and moisture, and it is the reason capped boards hold their colour longer in high-UV or coastal environments. Traditional uncapped decking is coloured through the full profile: it costs less up front and is a good fit for budget-driven projects, but the surface can fade or chalk sooner. As a rule of thumb, specify capped boards for commercial, hospitality and coastal projects, and uncapped boards where the budget is the deciding factor.

    4. Are your WPC products compliant for the US and EU markets?

    Ask any supplier for the documents that apply to your destination market. Our manufacturing is covered by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems, our wood fibre is FSC certified, and we hold BSCI social-compliance certification. Our boards are tested against ASTM and CE requirements, and third-party test reports from SGS and Intertek — covering mechanical strength, slip resistance and restricted substances (RoHS / REACH) — are supplied with each order. If your project has a local code requirement, tell us the standard and we will confirm the matching report before you order.

    5. What is your MOQ, lead time, and can you produce OEM or custom colours?

    We work as an OEM/ODM supplier: custom colours, surface embossing, board lengths, profile design and private-label packaging are all available. [MOQ: 100 sqm per colour] for stock colours, and [lead time: 15–25 days after deposit] for standard orders; custom tooling adds to that schedule. Free samples are available so you can check colour and texture before committing to a production run, and we quote FOB/CIF depending on your port.

  • Is installing PVC interlocking floor tiles difficult

    1.  Is installing PVC interlocking floor tiles difficult or do I need to hire a pro

     Installing PVC interlocking floor tiles is super easy and completely DIY friendly. The tiles feature a quick snap lock system that lets you connect them without needing glue, mortar, or special tools. Most people can handle the setup themselves in just a few hours, saving you time and money on installation costs. Check out our [PVC floor tile installation guide] for step by step tips.

    1. Are interlocking PVC tiles durable enough for garage floors or home gyms

    Yes, these heavy duty PVC tiles are built to handle serious weight and everyday wear. They can support heavy gym equipment, vehicles, and high foot traffic without cracking or warping over time. That makes them a great choice for residential garages, commercial workshops, and fitness areas. Explore our options to find the best fit for your space.

    1. How waterproof and slip resistant are interlocking floor tiles and how do I clean them

    PVC interlocking tiles are fully waterproof and naturally resist moisture, oil, and household spills. The surface is engineered with anti slip textures to give you solid traction even when the floor is wet. Maintenance is simple, you can just sweep, vacuum, or mop them with water and mild detergent. Visit our page to see all available textures.

    1. Can I lay PVC tiles directly over damaged or uneven concrete surfaces

      In most cases, yes. Interlocking PVC floor tiles are flexible enough to go directly over rough concrete, cracked tile, or old subfloors without major prep work. You do not need to tear up your old floor or worry about minor cracks before laying them down. Read our to learn how to prepare your space.

    2. What happens if one of the tiles gets damaged down the road

      One of the biggest perks of modular interlocking tiles is easy spot repair. If a single tile gets stained, scuffed, or damaged, you do not have to replace the whole floor. Simply pop out the damaged piece using a flat instrument and snap a new tile into place. Browse our
