WPC Wall Panels: Layer vs. Solid – Witop® Simple Guide
Know which type works best for your project with clear comparisons.
⚙️ How They Are Made
| Type | How It’s Built | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|---|
| Layer Panels | Glued layers like plywood | Printed wood/stone look |
| Solid Panels | Pushed through mold (like clay) | Same color all through |
| Witop® Mix Panels | Both methods combined | Real wood top + strong core |
“Witop® mix panels stayed perfect in Dubai’s wet heat – other brands peeled in 6 months.”
🌡️ Performance in Hot Climates

- Witop® Mix: Swollen 0.07% → no damage
2. Heat Test (50°C)
- Layer Panels: Edges lift 9mm
- Solid Panels: Bend 3mm
- Witop® Mix: Max bend 0.5mm
3. Sun Fade Test (2 years)

- Solid Panels: Color fades some
- Witop® Mix: Color stays bright
