Frequently Asked Questions

WANNABES WPC decking requires remarkably little upkeep. For routine cleaning, simply sweep away debris and wash the surface with warm, soapy water using a soft-bristle brush or microfiber mop, then rinse with a garden hose. For tougher stains like oil or grease, apply a mild degreasing household cleaner and rinse promptly. Avoid pressure washers above 1,500 PSI and keep the nozzle at least 30 cm from the surface. Unlike wood, our co-extruded products never need sanding, staining, or sealing — the UV-stabilized protective capping is bonded at the molecular level during manufacturing and will not wear off.

WANNABES decking is designed for efficient installation by both professional contractors and experienced DIY homeowners. Our hidden clip fastening system eliminates visible screws and creates clean, consistent gaps automatically. Key requirements include a properly leveled substructure with joists spaced at 300–400 mm on center, adequate ground clearance for ventilation, and correct expansion gap allowances based on ambient temperature at the time of installation. We provide comprehensive installation manuals, span tables, and technical guidance through our support team. For large or complex projects, we recommend working with a WANNABES-certified installer to ensure warranty compliance and optimal long-term performance.

For the vast majority of outdoor applications, yes. WANNABES co-extruded WPC decking outperforms natural wood in several critical dimensions: it will not rot, warp, splinter, or attract termites; it never requires sanding, staining, or sealing; its multi-layer UV-stabilized capping resists fading for 25+ years; and it achieves an R10–R11 wet-slip rating for superior barefoot safety around pools and wet areas. Where wood offers a traditional aesthetic that some homeowners prefer, our Deep Embossed Wood Grain and Natural Oak Knot Grain collections replicate that look with near-perfect fidelity — while eliminating the ongoing maintenance burden entirely.

WANNABES provides a 25-year limited residential warranty and a 10-year limited commercial warranty across our co-extruded decking portfolio. The warranty covers structural integrity, delamination, and material defects under normal use and proper installation. Our solid co-extruded profiles carry the full 25-year residential coverage. Full warranty terms, conditions, and exclusions are detailed in the warranty document available through our Download Center. We stand behind every board we produce — our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system ensures batch-level traceability and consistent manufacturing quality that makes these warranty commitments possible.
