MATERIAL GUIDE
WPC. Composite. ASA.
Understand your options.
Compare the material families, the way they are described and what to confirm before choosing a fence system.
MATERIALS, CLEARLY EXPLAINED
Choose the system behind the surface.
| Material family | What it means | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| WPC / wood-plastic composite | A composite made with wood fibers and a polymer matrix. Some products use recycled content. | Exact composition, surface finish, profile, maintenance and recycled-content documentation. |
| Co-extruded WPC | A WPC profile made with an additional outer surface layer. The supplied Slat Wall and Super Kit systems are described as co-extruded. | Surface construction, matching posts, product-specific performance and care sheet. |
| ASA fencing | ASA is acrylonitrile styrene acrylate, a resin used for outdoor weathering and UV resistance. | The fence SKU’s complete material construction, profile and compatible installation system. |
“Composite,” “WPC” and “eco fencing” may appear in overlapping product descriptions. They do not identify one universal profile, composition, warranty or performance rating.
THE WOOD-LOOK ALTERNATIVE
Material character.
Modern practicality.
Composite fencing offers wood-inspired texture in a range of colors and panel designs. The supplied catalogues describe water cleaning and reduced routine finishing compared with traditional painted or stained timber.
Follow the specific care sheet for the selected product. Outdoor surfaces still need periodic cleaning and inspection.

Ask what is in the product.
Wood-plastic composites can incorporate recycled plastics and wood fibers. The term “eco” alone is not a certification and does not establish a particular recycled-content percentage.
For a project with environmental requirements, request the selected product’s composition, recycled-content information and applicable supporting documentation.
Specify product-level performance.
Fire behavior, wind resistance, color stability and warranty coverage depend on the exact product and installation. Request the relevant test reports and terms for the selected system.
