ALMACENAMIENTO Y ENTREGA

  • Please store your WPC or Thermo Siding in shade and dry conditions, or direct sunlight and overheating may lead to deformation. 

  • Evite apilar objetos pesados ​​encima de los paneles de WPC para evitar deformaciones o daños.

  • If possible, elevate the stacked panels off the ground using pallets or wooden blocks to prevent direct contact with moisture or damp surfaces.

  • El WPC o Thermo Siding deben transportarse en palés, de lo contrario pueden producirse daños.

INSTALLATION

  • Gather all necessary tools and materials, including WPC decking boards, joists, screws, measuring tape, saw, drill/driver, level, spacer clips, and safety equipment.

  • WPC may expand or contract when temperature changes, we recommend dto put boards in the working spot 40 hours before intallation so as to make it adapt to the weather. 

  • Cuando se instala, la mejor temperatura exterior es entre 5 y 25 grados.

  • Ensure the installation surface is clean, level, and free from debris. If you're installing over an existing deck, inspect it for structural integrity and repair any damaged areas.

CLEANING STAINS 

  • Cleaning WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) stains is relatively simple and can be done using basic cleaning supplies. You can use mild detergent or soap, water, soft-bristled brush or sponge, bucket, and clean cloth or tower as clean supplies. 

  • Mix a small amount of mild detergent or soap with water in a bucket. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the WPC surface.

  • Frote suavemente el área manchada de la superficie de WPC con un cepillo o una esponja. Aplique una ligera presión para evitar rayar o dañar la superficie.

  • Allow the cleaning solution to sit on the stained area for a few minutes to help loosen the stain.

  • After scrubbing, rinse the WPC surface thoroughly with clean water to remove the cleaning solution and loosened dirt or stains. Use a hose or bucket of water for rinsing.

  • Utilice un paño o una toalla limpios para secar completamente la superficie de WPC. Asegúrese de que no quede humedad en la superficie para evitar manchas o rayas de agua.

  • For stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times until the stain is completely removed. Be patient and persistent, and avoid using abrasive tools or cleaners that could damage the WPC surface.

  • To prevent future stains and maintain the appearance of your WPC surface, consider implementing regular cleaning and maintenance routines. Sweep or rinse the surface regularly to remove dirt, debris, and organic matter that can cause stains over time.

  • Evite el uso de productos químicos fuertes, lejía o limpiadores abrasivos en las superficies de WPC, ya que pueden dañar el material y provocar decoloración o decoloración.

COLOR FADING

  • La decoloración del color es una preocupación común con los materiales WPC (compuesto de madera y plástico), incluidas las terrazas y revestimientos de WPC, especialmente cuando se exponen a la luz solar prolongada y a la intemperie.

  • Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight can cause color fading in WPC materials over time. UV rays can degrade the surface finish and pigments, leading to a loss of color intensity.

  • The quality of pigments and additives used in manufacturing WPC products can significantly impact their resistance to color fading. AGM uses higher-quality pigments and UV inhibitors which provide better protection against UV-induced fading.

  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the WPC surface and compromise its color retention properties.

COLOR DIFFERENCE

  • WPC is made from a blend of natural fibers (such as wood flour) and plastic polymers. Variations in the composition and characteristics of these raw materials can lead to differences in color between batches or even within the same batch of WPC products.

  • La exposición a la luz solar, la humedad y otros factores ambientales puede causar pérdida de color, decoloración o desgaste desigual de los materiales de WPC con el tiempo.

  • Purchase all WPC materials needed for your project from the same batch to ensure uniformity in color and appearance. Mixing materials from different batches can result in noticeable color differences.

  • Thoroughly inspect all WPC materials before installation to identify any color discrepancies or defects. Set aside any pieces that exhibit significant color differences or defects and contact the manufacturer if necessary.

  • Siga las pautas del fabricante para conocer las técnicas de instalación adecuadas, incluidos los requisitos de espaciado, fijación y ventilación. Una instalación incorrecta puede provocar una coloración desigual y un desgaste prematuro.

  • Implement a regular cleaning and maintenance routine to keep the WPC surface clean and free from dirt, debris, and organic matter that can affect color consistency. Use mild cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals that may cause discoloration.

  • Instale estructuras de sombra o use revestimientos protectores para minimizar la exposición a la luz solar directa, que puede causar decoloración y desgaste desigual. Además, asegúrese de un drenaje adecuado para evitar la acumulación de agua, lo que puede provocar decoloración y crecimiento de moho.

  • Periodically inspect the WPC surface for signs of color fading, discoloration, or wear. Address any issues promptly to prevent them from worsening and affecting the overall appearance of the WPC materials.
