WPC Decking: Durable and Eco-Friendly Outdoor Flooring
What is WPC?
WPC, or Wood Plastic Composite, is a material made from recycled wood fibers and plastic polymers. It combines the natural appearance of wood with the durability of synthetic materials, making it perfect for outdoor applications.

Installation and Maintenance
CAFCO decking is easy to install with modular systems, allowing quick replacements and flexible designs. Regular cleaning with water and mild detergent keeps it looking new for years.
Tactile Strips: Accessibility Meets Safety
Accessibility is a crucial aspect of public and commercial spaces. CAFCO’s tactile strips guide visually impaired individuals safely across walkways, stairs, and platforms.
