How to choose a WPC terrace – 7 practical tips

A man thoughtfully chooses from samples of WPC decking boards in various colours

Choosing the right WPC material and design is key if you want a terrace that lasts for years without worries. 

We bring you 7 practical tips on how to choose a WPC terrace that will bring you joy for many years to come.

1. Focus on material quality

Not all WPC decking boards are the same. Quality depends on the ratio of wood flour to polymers. Woodlook uses high-density HD-WPC compounds that are resistant to UV radiation, water and frost. As a result, the boards do not warp, crack or fade even after years. 

💡 Tip: check the density of the material and the weight of the board – the heavier it is, the higher its quality.

2. Choose the right type of boards

In the Woodlook range, you will currently find hollow profiles, which are:

– lighter, more affordable and very popular for family homes

– at the same time sufficiently strong and stable for standard terrace or gazebo loads. 

We currently only have solid profiles left in clearance, intended for specific projects where extreme loads or non-standard solutions are required.

For most households, however, hollow WPC decking boards from Woodlook offer the ideal balance of price, strength and aesthetics. 

3. Colour and decor – match with both house and garden 

WPC terrace decking should match the overall style of your exterior. In our range, you will find available colours (Teak, Merbau, Mahagón, Grafit, Palisander…), which suit both modern and rustic buildings. 

The surface of Woodlook boards features a wood texture – a natural look without the need for painting or staining.


4. Consider a slip-resistant surface

Safety is important – especially around pools and in humid environments. 

Woodlook WPC decking boards feature an anti-slip finish and drain water thanks to their grooves.

That means: no slips, splinters or worn surfaces. 

5. Sub-base and installation are also important

Even the best material requires the right technical solution. The base must be level, solid and sloped for water drainage. 

Woodlook offers complete installation systems – bearers, clips, screws, edge trims – all fully compatible with one another. 

🔧 If you don’t feel like tackling the installation yourself, our installers will prepare your terrace turnkey.


6. Check the warranty and service
A quality WPC terrace comes with a long-term warranty. 

Woodlook provides a 10-year warranty on material stability and expert advice throughout the lifespan of the terrace.

7. Count on minimal maintenance

The biggest advantage of WPC? Zero maintenance. 

No sanding, no varnishing – an occasional wash with BioClean Pro, formulated specifically by Woodlook, is enough to remove dirt, grease and preserve the original shade. 

Summary: The ideal terrace? One that lasts for years

When choosing, look not only at the price, but also at quality, material density, surface finish and warranty.
