Creep deflection of Wood Polymer Composite profiles at demanding conditions

Durability and low maintenance make Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) profiles popular in decking applications. EN 15534-4 specifies minimum performance levels to guarantee WPC quality. However, despite such quality specifications, occasionally high temperature creep issues are reported. This paper evalu...
