How do WPC outdoor sculptures resist fungal growth and rot compared to natural wood?

WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) outdoor sculptures are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including resistance to fungal growth and rot, unlike natural wood. Here’s how they achieve this:

1. Non-Porous Material: WPC is a blend of wood fibers and plastic, creating a dense, non-porous surface that prevents moisture absorption—a key factor in fungal growth and wood rot.

2. Added Antimicrobial Agents: Many WPC products include antimicrobial additives during manufacturing, which actively inhibit mold and fungus from taking hold.

3. No Organic Decay: Unlike natural wood, WPC doesn’t contain organic nutrients that attract fungi or insects, eliminating the risk of biodegradation.

4. UV and Weather Resistance: WPC is treated to resist UV rays and extreme temperatures, further reducing the chances of moisture retention and decay.

5. Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, WPC doesn’t require sealing or chemical treatments to stay protected, making it a hassle-free, long-lasting alternative.

For outdoor decor that stays beautiful year after year, WPC sculptures are a smart, durable choice over traditional wood.
