  • 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. In scenarios like bathrooms, kitchens, or the plum rain season in southern China, they won’t get moldy due to moisture or expand and deform—solving the "moisture sensitivity" problem of traditional wood or gypsum wall panels.

    2. Q: Do WPC wall panels require ventilation to remove odors after installation?

    A: No extra ventilation is needed. High-quality WPC wall panels are formed through physical processes, with no release of toxic substances such as formaldehyde. They meet the E0-level environmental standard and can be used immediately after installation.

    3. Q: What tools are needed for daily cleaning of WPC wall panels?

    A: For ordinary stains, simply wipe with a damp cloth or neutral detergent (e.g., diluted dish soap); for stubborn stains (such as ink), gently wipe with a small amount of alcohol. Avoid using steel wool, as it may scratch the surface.

    4. Q: Will WPC wall panels fade when used outdoors?

    A: High-quality WPC wall panels designed for outdoor use contain anti-aging agents and won’t fade significantly after long-term sun exposure (3-5 years). If indoor WPC panels are used outdoors, they may fade faster due to weak UV resistance.

     

     
     

  • 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.
