WPC Pergola FAQs
A WUDDY® composite pergola uses our natural fibre composite posts, beams, and fins to create stunning outdoor living structures. Perfect for gardens, poolsides, terraces, and patios, our pergolas combine wood aesthetics with superior weather resistance.
Steel pergolas are heavy, prone to rusting, and require regular painting maintenance. WUDDY® pergolas are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and require zero maintenance while offering superior aesthetics and weather resistance.
Wooden pergolas require expensive maintenance including sanding, oiling, and anti-termite treatments every 6 months. WUDDY® pergolas are maintenance-free and withstand all weather conditions while maintaining their appearance for years.
WUDDY® pergolas require no regular maintenance. Simply clean with water and mild detergent to remove accumulated dirt. Periodic visual inspection helps detect any impact damage, but no painting, oiling, or chemical treatments are needed.
While WUDDY® pergolas don't require painting for protection, they can be painted if you want to change the color from the original wood tone. Our surfaces accept paint well and maintain color stability.
WUDDY® pergolas last 10-15 years with minimal maintenance. Their resistance to fading, moisture, termites, and rot ensures long-term performance in all weather conditions.
WUDDY® pergola costs range from Rs. 850 to Rs. 1,500 per square foot, depending on design complexity, size, and components. The investment pays off through elimination of maintenance costs over time.
WPC Door & Window Frames FAQs
WPC is a composite material made from reclaimed consciously sourced Biofibres and and recycled polymers, combining the natural look of wood with plastic's durability. Unlike pure wood, uPVC, or aluminum, it offers a wood-like aesthetic while being waterproof and low-maintenance.
Yes, WPC frames are completely waterproof and highly resistant to termites and other pests due to their plastic content. They won't rot, warp, or suffer from insect damage like traditional wooden frames.
WPC frames are extremely durable with a lifespan of 25-30 years or more, resisting weather extremes, UV rays, and daily wear. They maintain structural integrity better than wood and don't crack or fade like some plastics.
WPC frames typically cost more than basic uPVC but less than premium hardwood or aluminum frames. The higher initial investment is offset by minimal maintenance costs and longer lifespan.
WPC frames are virtually maintenance-free requiring no special treatments. Simple cleaning with soap and water is sufficient to keep them looking new.
Yes, WPC frames come in various colours, textures and lengths. They can be customised to some extent during manufacturing to achieve specific aesthetic preferences.
WPC Railings & Louvers FAQs
WUDDY® railings are perfect for:
-
Balcony and stair handrails
-
Decorative screens and partitions
-
Louver systems and sunscreens
-
Facade features and architectural elements
-
Interior and exterior baffles
-
WUDDY® railings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and unaffected by humidity or seaside salinity. They require no maintenance, offer superior aesthetics, and maintain their appearance without painting or protective coatings.
No, WUDDY® railings have excellent anti-corrosive properties and high UV resistance. They don't require periodic painting, sealing, or protective treatments, maintaining their appearance naturally over time.
Yes, WUDDY® louvers are ideal for seaside applications as they're unaffected by salt spray or high humidity. They maintain durability and aesthetics even in high-salinity environments for 15+ years.
WUDDY® railings cost approximately Rs. 1,000 per running foot for standard height (1 meter) installations. Louver systems start around Rs. 300 per square foot depending on complexity.
General WPC Material FAQs
WUDDY® is made from 60% reclaimed wood powder and 30% high-density recycled thermoplastics, with up to 52% bio-carbon content. Our eco-friendly manufacturing process creates durable, sustainable building materials with superior performance.
WUDDY® combines wood powder with recycled polymers through extrusion technology, while compressed wood uses sawdust with resin binders. Our process is more environmentally friendly and produces stronger, more weather-resistant materials.
WUDDY® uses 90% recycled materials that would otherwise go to landfills. Our manufacturing process produces no toxic emissions or effluent discharge, and all products are 100% recyclable at end-of-life.
