WPC (wood-plastic composite) and uPVC are both water-resistant alternatives to timber, but they suit different jobs. Here's where each makes sense.
WPC doors are typically solid-panel doors used as flush internal or bathroom doors, valued for being waterproof and termite-proof. uPVC in our range is a framing system for glazed windows and doors — sliders, casements, French doors — where you want glass and ventilation.
Both shrug off water and termites, which is their shared advantage over wood. For a wet area like a bathroom, both are sound choices.
If you need a solid flush door, WPC is the natural pick. If you need a glazed door or window that opens for light and air, that's a uPVC job. They're more complementary than competing.
Both resist water well. WPC suits a solid flush bathroom door; uPVC suits a glazed or louvred bathroom window or door where you want light and ventilation.
Yes — neither is a food source for termites, unlike timber.
We specialise in uPVC glazed windows and doors. For solid flush WPC doors we can point you in the right direction, but our own work is the glazed uPVC systems.
