Title: Composite decking and natural wood in the sun: Secret analysis of temperature changes

Text:

In the early summer afternoon, the sun shines unobstructed in the garden of the community, and everything is bathed in this warm sunshine. In this corner full of vitality, we found two special floor materials: Composite decking and natural wood. Although they are very similar in appearance, their temperature changes under the sun reveal subtle differences. Today, let us walk into this “love” between the sun, Composite decking and natural wood and find out.

1. Sunlight, Composite decking gets hot

When the sun shines on Composite decking, they begin to have close contact with the sun. Composite decking is a composite material made of wood powder and plastic, which has good UV resistance and is not easy to fade. Under the sun, Composite decking absorbs a lot of heat and the surface temperature gradually rises.

This process is similar to natural wood, but Composite decking is slightly better in heat conduction performance. Because of the presence of plastic components, the heat conduction speed of Composite decking is relatively fast, and the heat can be transferred to the entire floor in a short time. Therefore, under sunlight, the temperature of Composite decking rises faster, giving people a warm feeling.

2. Temperature changes of natural wood

Compared with Composite decking, the temperature of natural wood changes relatively slowly under sunlight. This is because the thermal conductivity of natural wood is poor, and the heat transfer speed inside the wood is slow. When the sun shines on natural wood, the temperature on the surface of the wood gradually rises, but the internal temperature changes little.

In addition, natural wood has good thermal insulation properties. When the temperature on the surface of the wood rises, the heat will gradually transfer to the inside, keeping the temperature of the entire wood within a relatively stable range. Therefore, under sunlight, natural wood gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.

3. Comparison of temperature changes between Composite decking and natural wood

Although the temperature change process of Composite decking and natural wood under sunlight is similar, they have obvious differences in temperature control.

1. Heat conduction speed: Composite decking has a faster heat conduction speed and a faster temperature rise speed; while natural wood has a slower heat conduction speed and a slower temperature rise speed.

2. Heat: Composite decking has better thermal stability and is not easily affected by temperature changes; while natural wood has poorer thermal stability and is affected by temperature changes.

3. Thermal insulation performance: natural wood has good thermal insulation performance and relatively small temperature changes; while Composite decking has slightly inferior thermal insulation performance.

4. Comfort: Under sunlight, natural wood gives people a warm and comfortable feeling; while Composite decking gives people a warm feeling, but the comfort is slightly inferior.

Summary:

In this “love affair” between sunlight, Composite decking and natural wood, we see the similarities and differences between the two materials in temperature changes. Although their temperature change processes under sunlight are similar, they have obvious differences in heat conduction speed, thermal stability, thermal insulation performance and comfort. This also provides us with more reference for choosing floor materials. On sunny days, choosing a floor material that suits you and making your home more warm and comfortable is undoubtedly a great pleasure in life.
