plastic wood decking expansion

Thermal expansion and cold contraction are common problems faced by this type of material.
Since the main raw materials, plastic and wood fiber, are more sensitive to temperature changes, the floor may deform or crack at the joints in some cases. .
Imagine that in hot summer or cold winter, the floor may become “active” due to temperature changes, and some smart ways are needed to solve it.
For example, by optimizing the material ratio or adding anti-expansion agents to improve dimensional stability, and reserving appropriate gaps to deal with this natural phenomenon.
