Engineered for extreme durability, fire compliance, structural anti-slip protection, and aesthetic excellence.
A deep technical analysis of polymer-wood matrix synergy, co-extrusion capping dynamics, and structural safety parameters for modern architectural stair systems.
Utilizing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or virgin PVC combined with 60% ultra-fine wood fiber flour and 10% nano-scale coupling agents, creating a dense cross-linked lattice with superior tensile and flexural strength.
Encapsulated in an acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA) polymer outer layer. Provides zero water absorption (<0.1%), extreme resistance to UV degradation, chemical staining, severe impact, and continuous mechanical abrasion.
Designed with integrated micro-embossed directional grooves and tactile slip-mitigation nosing profiles. Fully tested to DIN 51130 R12 standards and ASTM C1028 for dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF > 0.62).

Traditional solid timber stair treads suffer from hygroscopic stress, leading to cupping and squeaking over extended service cycles. Our co-extruded hollow-core and solid-core WPC stair treads feature calculated internal rib networks that optimize moment of inertia ($I_x$), dampening acoustic vibration while absorbing impact loading up to 500 kg per tread without permanent deformation.
Pioneering global manufacturing capacity, precision automation, and end-to-end quality control.
