  • Q Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Decks

    A
    • How often do I need to maintain my outdoor deck, and what does maintenance involve?​
      The frequency and type of maintenance depend on your decking material:​
      • Natural wood (cedar, redwood, pressure-treated pine): Requires the most upkeep. Plan to clean the deck with a mild detergent and soft brush annually to remove dirt, mildew, and debris. Stain or seal wood decks every 1–2 years to protect against moisture, UV damage, and rot. Tropical hardwoods like ipe need sealing every 2–3 years due to their higher density.​
      • Composite decking: Low-maintenance but not “no-maintenance.” Clean with soap and water (or a composite-specific cleaner for tough stains like oil or mold) 2–3 times a year. Avoid using power washers at high pressure (over 1,500 PSI), as this can damage the surface texture.​
      • PVC decking: The easiest to maintain. Wipe down with soap and water as needed (typically 1–2 times a year) to remove dirt. PVC resists mold and mildew, so deep cleaning is rarely required unless there’s heavy staining.​
      Additionally, all decks benefit from regular inspections (every 6 months) to check for loose boards, wobbly railings, or rotting support beams—addressing these issues early prevents costly repairs.

  • Q What is an ASA wall panel and what components does it consist of

    A

    1. What is an ASA wall panel and what components does it consist of?

    ASA wall panel is a new type of building panel with excellent performance. Its surface layer is made of ASA resin, a material with excellent weather resistance, UV resistance, and impact resistance, ensuring that the wall panel does not fade or crack during long - term use. The base material layer varies according to different types. For example, wall panels with a PVC base material are lightweight, waterproof, and moisture - resistant, suitable for humid indoor environments; wall panels with a cement - fiber base material have good fire - resistance performance and high strength, often used in exterior walls and other parts with fire - resistance requirements; wall panels with a polystyrene base material have outstanding thermal insulation effects, suitable for buildings that require good thermal insulation performance. Some ASA wall panels also have a backing layer, which mainly serves to enhance the adhesion to the wall and prevent moisture.

    2. In which building scenarios are ASA wall panels applicable? Are there any usage limitations?

    ASA wall panels have a wide range of applications. Outdoors, they can be used for building exterior walls. Whether it is the exterior wall decoration of low - rise houses, villas, or multi - storey buildings, they can show good weather resistance and decorative effects. They are also often used for balcony railings, air - conditioner outdoor unit covers, and canopies because they can withstand wind and sun. Indoors, using them on the walls of living rooms and bedrooms can create a beautiful living environment. In kitchens and bathrooms, due to the humid environment, the waterproof and moisture - resistant characteristics of ASA wall panels make them an ideal choice. In public areas such as corridors and elevator lobbies, the impact - resistance of ASA wall panels can ensure that they are not easily damaged during long - term use. However, there are also usage limitations for ASA wall panels. It is not suitable for areas that are in long - term contact with high temperatures, such as the wall directly behind the stove, because the ASA resin may soften when the temperature is higher than 80 °C for a long time. It is also not suitable for environments with strong acids and alkalis, such as chemical plant workshops. Although it has certain corrosion resistance, strong chemical reagents may damage its surface layer. In addition, ASA wall panels are decorative panels and cannot be used as load - bearing structures.

     Is the installation of ASA wall panels complicated? What is the installation process?

    The installation of ASA wall panels is relatively simple, especially when using the dry - hanging method. Before installation, the wall foundation needs to meet certain conditions. The wall should be flat with an error controlled within ≤3mm/2m, dry with a moisture content ≤15%, and free of 空鼓 s, oil stains, and floating dust. If the wall is not flat, it needs to be leveled first, such as by pasting gypsum boards or installing keels. In terms of environmental temperature, it is recommended to construct between 5 °C and 35 °C. If the temperature is too low (<5 °C), the panels will become brittle, and if it is too high (>35 °C), the panels may expand slightly, affecting the splicing accuracy. Tools such as a tape measure, level, electric drill, utility knife, special buckles, self - tapping screws, and neutral silicone sealant need to be prepared for installation. The core installation process is as follows: First, carry out line - marking and positioning. According to the size of the wall panel (common widths are 300mm or 600mm, and lengths are 2.4m or 3m), use a level to mark the installation position lines of the keels or buckles on the wall. If the wall is not flat or there is a need for thermal insulation, then install light - steel keels. The spacing between the keels is ≤600mm, and fix them firmly to the wall with expansion screws, driving one screw every 300mm. Then start the wall - panel splicing. Start the installation from the corner. Align the groove of the first wall panel with the buckle or keel, and fix the top and bottom of the wall panel with self - tapping screws. The screws need to be embedded in the panel to avoid exposure. Subsequent wall panels are closely spliced through male - female grooves. After the installation is completed, carry out the finishing treatment. Use special finishing strips, such as outside - corner strips and inside - corner strips, to cover the wall corners and door and window edges. Apply neutral silicone sealant (weather - resistant sealant for outdoors) at the joints to prevent water seepage. Finally, conduct cleaning and inspection. Wipe the surface of the wall panel with a damp cloth and check whether the splicing is flat, whether there are gaps, and whether the fixing is firm.

  • Q Can sound - absorbing boards completely soundproof a space

    A 1.Can sound - absorbing boards completely soundproof a space?
    The main function of sound - absorbing boards is to absorb sound energy, reduce indoor echoes and reverberations, and can effectively reduce the transmission of noise, but they cannot achieve complete soundproofing. Their soundproofing effect is affected by various factors such as material, thickness, installation method, and usage environment. For example, when using polyester fiber sound - absorbing boards in a home theater and matching them with appropriate installation methods, external noise interference can be greatly reduced, but the room still cannot be completely isolated from external sounds.
    2.Are sound - absorbing boards suitable for all types of rooms?
    Sound - absorbing boards are suitable for a variety of room types, but the specific choice needs to be determined according to the acoustic requirements and spatial structure of the room. For rooms such as conference rooms and recording studios that have high requirements for sound clarity and echo control, mineral wool sound - absorbing boards and wooden perforated sound - absorbing boards are more appropriate. For spaces such as bedrooms and studies that pursue a quiet and comfortable environment, polyester fiber sound - absorbing boards are commonly used due to their environmental friendliness, good sound - absorption effect, and aesthetics. In humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens, ordinary sound - absorbing boards are prone to moisture - induced deformation and are not recommended. Special - material sound - absorbing boards with good moisture - resistance can be considered.
    3.Are sound - absorbing boards suitable for humid environments?
    Most ordinary sound - absorbing boards are not suitable for humid environments. Due to their material characteristics, they are prone to moisture - induced deformation and mold growth in humid environments, affecting the sound - absorption effect and service life. For example, wooden sound - absorbing boards and mineral wool sound - absorbing boards will have their structures damaged and sound - absorption performance reduced when they get wet. However, some sound - absorbing boards that have undergone special moisture - proof treatment or have good moisture - resistance themselves, such as aluminum perforated sound - absorbing boards and waterproof polyester fiber sound - absorbing boards, can be used in relatively humid environments. Nevertheless, attention still needs to be paid to the potential impact of changes in environmental humidity on their performance.

  • Q Can WPC wall panels be used in humid environments?

    A

    1. Q: Can WPC wall panels be used in humid environments?

    A: Yes. The plastic component in WPC panels blocks water penetration.

  • Q What is PVC

    A

     

     
     
     
     

     

    1. What is PVC?
    PVC, or Polyvinyl Chloride, is one of the most widely produced synthetic plastic polymers in the world. It is a versatile material that comes in two basic forms: rigid (often referred to as uPVC) and flexible. Its durability, resistance to moisture and chemicals, and low cost make it a popular choice for a vast range of applications, from construction materials to medical devices.

    2. What is the difference between rigid and flexible PVC?
    The primary difference lies in the addition of plasticizers.

    • Rigid PVC (uPVC): Contains no plasticizers. It is hard, stiff, and commonly used for applications like plumbing pipes, window frames, and siding.

    • Flexible PVC: Contains significant amounts of plasticizers (such as phthalates) which make the material soft and pliable. It is used for products like electrical cable insulation, inflatable products, shower curtains, and medical tubing.

    3. Is PVC safe?
    The safety of PVC depends on its application and form.

    • In Use: Finished PVC products are generally considered safe for their intended uses. For example, PVC pipes for drinking water are certified to meet strict standards.

    • Health & Environmental Concerns: The lifecycle of PVC has raised concerns. The production and incineration of PVC can release toxic chemicals, including dioxins. Some plasticizers used in flexible PVC (like certain phthalates) have been restricted in children's toys and medical devices due to potential health risks. Modern regulations have led to the development of safer, non-phthalate plasticizers.

    4. Why is PVC commonly used in construction?
    PVC is a dominant material in the construction industry due to its excellent properties:

    • Durability & Longevity: It is resistant to weathering, corrosion, chemicals, and shock.

    • Cost-Effectiveness: It is relatively inexpensive compared to alternatives like metal, copper, or wood.

    • Low Maintenance: It does not need to be painted and is easy to clean.

    • Water Resistance: It is impermeable to water, making it ideal for pipes, gutters, and siding.

    5. Can PVC be recycled?
    Yes, PVC is recyclable. However, recycling it is more challenging than recycling some other plastics like PET or HDPE. The main issues are:

    • Separation: It must be separated from other plastics because its chlorine content can contaminate recycling streams.

    • Additives: The various additives (like plasticizers and stabilizers) in different PVC products complicate the recycling process.
      Despite these challenges, PVC is successfully recycled into new products such as floor mats, speed bumps, fencing, and sewer pipes.


  • Q Acoustic Panels - FAQ

    A

    Acoustic Panels - FAQ

    1. Do acoustic panels completely eliminate all noise in a room?
    No, acoustic panels are designed primarily to absorb reverberated sound (echoes, background hums, and sound reflections within a space) rather than block external noise (e.g., traffic from outside, noise from adjacent rooms). They can reduce 50%-70% of internal echo and ambient noise, making the room sound clearer, but cannot fully eliminate all noise. For blocking external noise, additional measures like soundproofing insulation or sealed windows are usually needed.
    1. Where are acoustic panels most effective to install?
    The most effective installation locations are areas with strong sound reflection:
    • Walls: Especially large, flat walls (e.g., behind speakers in a home theater, above desks in an office).
    • Ceilings: Ideal for open spaces (e.g., classrooms, restaurants) to absorb sound that bounces upward.
    • Corners: Sound often accumulates in room corners, so installing panels here enhances absorption of low-frequency sound.
    Avoid installing them on small, cluttered walls or near sound sources that need to project (e.g., directly in front of a podium microphone).
    1. How do I choose the right size and quantity of acoustic panels for my space?
    It depends on the room’s purpose, size, and initial acoustic issues:
    • Size: For small spaces (e.g., home offices, bedrooms), 2’x4’ (60cmx120cm) panels are common; larger spaces (e.g., conference rooms, auditoriums) may require bigger panels or custom sizes.
    • Quantity: As a general rule, cover 10%-20% of the room’s total wall/ceiling area. For high-noise areas (e.g., recording studios), increase coverage to 25%-30%. For example, a 20㎡ home theater would need 2-4㎡ of acoustic panels.
    1. Can I install acoustic panels by myself, or do I need professional help?
    Most acoustic panels are designed for DIY installation, especially lightweight types (e.g., foam, felt, or fabric-wrapped panels). They typically come with adhesive backing, mounting brackets, or hook-and-loop tapes—no special tools (like drills) are required for basic installation. However, for heavy panels (e.g., solid wood or thick composite panels) or hard-to-reach areas (e.g., high ceilings), professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and proper alignment.
    1. How do acoustic panels differ from regular decorative wall panels?
    The core difference lies in their acoustic performance:
    • Acoustic panels: Made of porous, sound-absorbing materials (e.g., polyester fiber, mineral wool, open-cell foam) with a structure that traps and dissipates sound waves. Their primary function is acoustic improvement, with aesthetics as a secondary benefit.
    • Regular decorative panels: Made of non-porous or low-porosity materials (e.g., solid wood, plastic, MDF) that reflect most sound waves. They focus solely on visual decoration and offer little to no sound absorption.

They are also easy to clean, so even if children or pets leave stains on the panels, they can be wiped off quickly without leaving any residue.
     

  • Q What exactly are WPC wall panels, and what materials are they made of?

    A

    1. What exactly are WPC wall panels, and what materials are they made of?

    WPC wall panels are a type of eco-friendly building material made by blending wood fiber (or wood flour) (typically from recycled wood scraps, sawdust, or agricultural residues) with thermoplastic resins (such as PVC, PE, or PP) and small amounts of additives (e.g., anti-UV agents, flame retardants, and stabilizers). The mixture is processed via extrusion, molding, or pressing to form panels with the texture of natural wood but enhanced performance.

    2. Are WPC wall panels durable enough for long-term use, especially in humid or outdoor areas?

    Yes, WPC wall panels excel in durability and are well-suited for both indoor and covered outdoor areas (e.g., porches, balconies). Unlike natural wood, they are waterproof and moisture-resistant—they won’t warp, rot, or mold even in humid environments (e.g., bathrooms, kitchens). Additionally, they are resistant to insects (no termite damage), fading (thanks to anti-UV additives), and impact, with a typical service life of 15–25 years when properly installed.

    3. How difficult is it to install WPC wall panels, and can non-professionals do it themselves?

    WPC wall panels are designed for easy, DIY-friendly installation, making them accessible to non-professionals. Most panels feature a tongue-and-groove (T&G) locking system—they can be simply snapped together without complex cutting or gluing. Basic tools (a tape measure, saw, drill, and level) are enough for the job. However, for uneven walls or outdoor projects requiring weatherproofing (e.g., sealing gaps), hiring a professional is recommended to ensure long-term stability.

    4. What maintenance do WPC wall panels require, and how do they compare to natural wood?

    WPC wall panels have minimal maintenance needs, far less than natural wood. For regular upkeep:

    • Indoor panels: Wipe with a damp cloth or mild soapy water to remove dust/stains (avoid harsh chemicals).
    • Outdoor panels: Rinse with a garden hose annually to remove dirt (no sanding, painting, or staining needed).

    In contrast, natural wood requires frequent sanding, repainting, or staining to prevent rot and fading—saving time and cost with WPC.

    5. Are WPC wall panels environmentally friendly, and can they be recycled?

    Most WPC wall panels are eco-friendly and sustainable for two key reasons:

    1. They use recycled materials (e.g., waste wood and plastic), reducing landfill waste and the need to harvest new timber.
    2. They are formaldehyde-free (unlike some traditional wood-based panels like MDF), making them safe for indoor air quality.

    2. What are the core differences between WPC interlocking flooring and SPC flooring?
    Both are resilient flooring, but they differ in positioning and characteristics: SPC is dominated by a rigid structure and an affordable price; WPC, on the other hand, has made a strong comeback with excellent foot feel, better sound insulation performance, and high tolerance for uneven substrates. It is more suitable for residential and light commercial scenarios where comfort is pursued. Moreover, through visual design renewal (such as extra-long and extra-wide board types) and performance enhancement, it has become a cost-effective alternative.

  • Q What wood types work for DIY small floors?

    A
    1. Q: What wood types work for DIY small floors?
      A: Common woods like pine, birch, or leftover solid wood scraps are fine. Avoid unprocessed softwood prone to warping; use 防腐 - treated wood for damp areas.
    2. Q: How to prep the floor base before DIY?
      A: Ensure it’s flat (level with ≤3mm error), dry (air out 2+ weeks), and clean (remove dust/oil) to keep materials stable.
    3. Q: How long does a DIY small floor last?
      A: 6–10 years with good care. Wood lasts 5–8 years (with wax/varnish), tiles 10+ years if glued well.
    4. Q: Is a DIY small floor cost-effective?
      A: Yes. Using leftover wood/tiles only needs auxiliary materials (glue, wax), costing $10–40. Even buying scraps saves 50%–70% vs. full materials.
    5. Q: Can it be made in a rented house?
      A: Consult your landlord first. For temporary use, choose detachable designs (e.g., snap-on wood, removable tile adhesive) to avoid damaging the original floor.
