What is the difference between PVC and WPC doors?

There are significant differences between PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) doors in terms of material composition, characteristics, and application scenarios. The following is a detailed comparison:

material ingredient
PVC door: Mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material, some plasticizers, stabilizers and other additives may be added to improve its performance. PVC is a widely used plastic material with good acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, antimicrobial properties and elasticity.
WPC door: It is carefully made of polymer materials such as wood powder and calcium carbonate powder and belongs to the category of wood-plastic composite materials. It combines the advantages of wood and plastic, giving it the texture and appearance of wood with the durability and waterproofness of plastic.

Feature comparison
Environmental protection:
During the manufacturing process of PVC doors, some harmful substances may be produced, such as chlorides and organic solvents, which may cause certain pollution to the environment. Although modern PVC production technology is committed to reducing the emission of these pollutants, its environmental protection still needs to be strengthened.
WPC doors are famous for their environmental protection. They use renewable resources as raw materials, do not add toxic and harmful substances during the production process, and are recyclable, in line with the concept of modern green building materials.

Abrasion resistance and strength:
PVC doors have good wear resistance and can resist a certain degree of scratches and wear. However, its strength is relatively low, and its load-bearing and impact resistance capabilities are limited.
WPC doors perform better in terms of wear resistance and strength, and can withstand greater pressure and impact while maintaining good stability and durability.

Waterproof and moisture-proof:
PVC doors have certain waterproof properties, but they may be affected by long-term use in humid environments.
WPC doors have excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties and can maintain stable performance and service life even in humid environments.

Appearance and texture:
PVC doors can imitate the grain and texture of wood through surface treatment technology, but it is usually difficult to achieve the real wood effect.
WPC doors offer the realistic look and feel of wood while retaining the durability and ease of maintenance of plastic.

Application scenarios
PVC door: Due to its low price, easy cleaning and maintenance, PVC door is widely used in economical and practical places such as rental houses and offices. At the same time, it is also widely used in some occasions that require heat preservation, moisturizing, dustproof or insect protection.
WPC door: WPC door is favored by more and more consumers for its environmental protection, durability and aesthetics. It is suitable for mid-to-high-end places such as homes, hotels, shopping malls, etc., especially for consumers who pursue high-quality life and high-quality building materials.

There are obvious differences between PVC doors and WPC doors in terms of material composition, characteristics, and application scenarios. Which door you choose depends on your specific needs and budget. While pursuing environmental protection, durability and beauty, cost and maintenance convenience also need to be considered.
