Demand Increasing for Waterproof, UV-Resistant Outdoor Furniture made of WPC

There is an increasing trend for experiencing the great out‎doors with terrace gardens, vertical gardens and landscaping. This is visible across priv‎ate homes, farmhouses, villas, penthouses, ho‎liday resorts, hotels, offices, swimming pool decks, patios, go‎lf courses, te‎nnis courts, cafes, tea lounges, and other outdoor recr‎eation environments, enterprises and institutions.

The trend has given rise to a thriving outdoor furniture industry offering a range of dining and lounge sets, bar stools and tables, sofas, love seats, hammock seats, post chaise lounge etc

Outdoor furniture is a fashionable concept that must, at the same time, provide comfort and aesthetics, be durable, easy to handle and long lasting. This is because outdoor furniture is exposed for long hours to scorching heat, UV rays and high temperatures, heavy rains, moisture and humidity, and surface-corroding salts and minerals present in hard water and soil.
To be durable yet classy, outdoor furniture must be made of a robust material that protects against UV rays; provides resistance against fungi, bacteria, or termites; is not affected by adverse weather conditions such as rain and heat; and is easy to maintain. All these properties can only be found in Wood Plastic Composite (WPC). In fact, growing demand for WPC patio furniture bears proof to the material’s excellent thermal and mechanical properties as it can sustain all the external elements.

Alstone’s WPC outdoor furniture includes hammocks, ga‎rden benches, lounge chairs and rust-proof, paintable fencing, be‎ach chairs and coffee tables etc, which can be used even in high humid regions and coastal areas as they can withstand the salty sea air and abrasive sand. This is because WPC is an inert material and does not corrode due to hard water or soil, which means that it can be used to make swimming pool deck furniture and fountain bases in hotels and farmhouses.


Alstone also has the necessary tools and skill to make curved WPC products as per the requirements of the designs as WPC is easy to route, curve, paint, laminate, veneer and polish. The company is listed amongst the top Wood Plastic Composite Board Manufacturers in India, with a wide distributor and dealer network across the country.
