2. WPC does not corrode and is highly resistant to rot, decay, and marine borer attack. Though they do absorb water into the wood fiber embedded in the material.

3. WPC board does not require painting, staining, and oiling and it avoids using potentially polluting preservatives but if you want to paint or texture paint you can do it, only the thing is first you have to apply PVC primer on the board.
