Nā nīnau i nīnau pinepine ʻia
1. E pili ana i ka mea WPC
N: He aha ka WPC?
A: ʻO WPC ke kū nei no Wood Plastic Composite. He mea hana hou ia i hana ʻia mai ka hui ʻana o nā olonā lāʻau hana hou ʻia/palaoa a me nā thermoplastics (e like me PE), hana kēia i kahi huahana nona ka nani kūlohelohe o ka lāʻau me ka lōʻihi o ka paʻa a me ka mālama liʻiliʻi.
Q: He launa maikaʻi anei ka WPC no ke kaiapuni?
A: ʻAe. Ua manaʻo ʻia kā mākou huahana WPC he mea aloha i ke kaiapuni no ka mea ua hana nui ʻia lākou mai nā mea hana hou ʻia—nā ʻōpala lāʻau i hoʻihoʻi ʻia a me nā plastik i hana hou ʻia. Hoʻemi kēia i ka ʻōpala landfill a me ka pono no ka lāʻau puʻupaʻa. Eia kekahi, ʻo ko lākou ola lōʻihi a me nā koi mālama haʻahaʻa (ʻaʻohe pena kemika a sila paha) e hōʻemi hou aku i ko lākou hopena i ke kaiapuni.
Q: He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka WPC a me ka papahele plastik maʻemaʻe (PVC)?
A: ʻOiai ʻaʻole pono ka mālama ʻana i nā mea ʻelua, aia ka nui o ka fiber lāʻau i loko o ka WPC, e hāʻawi ana iā ia i kahi ʻano maoli a ʻoi aku ka kokoke i ka lāʻau maoli. Loaʻa pinepine ka papahele plastik maʻemaʻe i kahi ʻano synthetic. ʻOi aku ka paʻa o ka WPC a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā waiwai hoʻoheheʻe wela ma mua o kekahi mau koho plastik maʻemaʻe.
2. Hoʻokomo a me ka Hana
Q: Hiki iaʻu ke hoʻokomo i ka papahele/nā mea hana WPC iaʻu iho?
A: ʻAe, ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka nui o kā mākou huahana WPC no ka hoʻokomo DIY me nā ʻōnaehana huna a i ʻole nā ʻōnaehana hoʻopaʻa clip. Eia nō naʻe, no nā papahana nui a paʻakikī a i ʻole e hōʻoia i kahi hoʻopau kūpono a me ka hōʻoia palapala hōʻoia, paipai mākou i ka hoʻokomo ʻoihana. E hahai mau i kā mākou alakaʻi hoʻonohonoho kikoʻī.
Q: Wela anei ka papahele WPC i ka lā?**
A: E like me kekahi ʻili waho (lāʻau, pavers, vinyl), hiki i ka WPC ke mehana i ka lā pololei. Eia nō naʻe, ua hana ʻia kā mākou huahana me ka ʻenehana holomua a hōʻike pinepine i nā kala māmā a i ʻole nā uhi i uhi ʻia e hōʻike ana i ka wela ma mua o ka lāʻau kuʻuna a i ʻole nā composites ʻeleʻele, e ʻoluʻolu ai lākou ma lalo o ka wāwae.
Q: He kūpaʻa anei ka WPC i ka paheʻe?
A: ʻAe. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kā mākou mau ʻaoʻao papahele a me nā pā WPC me nā ʻili i kālai ʻia e hāʻawi ana i ke kūpaʻa paheʻe maikaʻi loa, ʻoiai ke pulu. ʻO kēia ka mea e lilo ai lākou i koho palekana no nā wahi a puni nā loko wai, nā patios, a me nā ala hele wāwae.
Q: Pehea ka hana a WPC i ka wā ʻino loa (hau, hau, ua)?
A:He kūpaʻa loa ka WPC i ka makū, ka pala, a me ka palaho, e kūpono ai no nā aniau ua a me ka pulu. He kūpaʻa hoʻi ia i nā pōʻaiapuni hau a me ka heheʻe ʻana, no laila ʻaʻole ia e māwae a haki paha i nā kūlana hau. ʻO ke kau pono ʻana me ka hoʻokahe wai kūpono ke kī i ka hana lōʻihi.
Q: E wili, māwae, a ʻoki paha ka WPC?
A: ʻAʻole. ʻO kekahi o nā pono nui o ka WPC ʻo kona kūpaʻa kiʻekiʻe. He kūpaʻa loa ia i ka warping, ka haki ʻana, ka māhele ʻana, a me ka splintering, ʻo ia nā pilikia maʻamau me ka lāʻau maoli.
3. Mālama a me ke kūpaʻa
Q: Pehea e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ai a mālama i kaʻu mau huahana WPC?
A: He mea maʻalahi loa ka mālama ʻana. No ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe maʻamau, e holoi wale i nā ʻōpala a holoi i kekahi manawa me kahi wai kopa palupalu a me kahi palaki palupalu a i ʻole ka hose. ʻO kēia wale nō ka mea e pono ai e mālama i kāu WPC i ke ʻano hou. E pale i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kemika ʻino, nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe abrasive, a i ʻole nā mea holoi kiʻekiʻe.
Q: Pono anei ke kala ʻana a i ʻole ke sila ʻana?
A: ʻAʻole. ʻAʻole e like me ka lāʻau maoli, ʻaʻole pono nā huahana WPC i ke one ʻana, ka hoʻoluʻu ʻana, a i ʻole ke sila ʻana. He kūlike ko lākou kala ma loko o ka mea a ua hoʻolālā ʻia e mau no nā makahiki me ka liʻiliʻi o ka mae ʻana.
Q: Pehea ka lōʻihi o ka WPC?
A: Ua hana ʻia kā mākou huahana WPC no ka hana lōʻihi. Loaʻa pinepine lākou me nā palapala hoʻokō mai **10 a 25 mau makahiki** e kūʻē i ka mae ʻana, ka waihoʻoluʻu ʻana, a me nā kīnā kūkulu, ma muli o ka laina huahana.
Q: He kūpaʻa anei nā huahana WPC i ka ʻōpala, ka mildew, a me nā pepeke?
ʻAe. ʻO ke ʻano o ka WPC e kūpaʻa loa ai i ka ʻōpala, ka mildew, a me nā pepeke, me nā ʻanuʻu. He pōmaikaʻi nui kēia ma mua o ka lāʻau maoli.
4. Ka laulā huahana a me ka hoʻopilikino ʻana
Q: He aha nā kala a me nā kaila i loaʻa?
A: Hāʻawi mākou i nā ʻano kala like ʻole a me nā ʻano ʻano lāʻau, mai nā lāʻau kuʻuna e like me Ipe a me Teak a hiki i nā hina a me nā keʻokeʻo o kēia wā. ʻO kā mākou hōʻiliʻili e komo pū ana me nā papa papahele, nā pā, nā uhi, nā pergolas, a me nā lako waho.
Q: Hiki ke ʻoki ʻia a wili ʻia ka WPC e like me ka lāʻau?
A: ʻAe. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā mea hana lāʻau maʻamau (nā ʻoki, nā wili) e ʻoki a hoʻoponopono i ka WPC. Paipai mākou e hoʻohana i nā pahi me ka ʻaoʻao carbide no ka ʻoki maʻemaʻe loa.
