Guys, can you share your experience of having WPC/SPC flooring balcony? especially those who installed it at outdoor, meaning direct under the sun/rain

Im turning the top area of my car porch into a balcony (without roof), wondering shall I install the clean, neat and durable conventional cermaic mosaic, or the beutiful modern looking wpc floor decking.

Does anyone regret about installing wpc and changed it back into ceramic tile out there?

Disaster waiting to happen , wpc/spc don’t like direct sunlight and open weather , open area can consider decking , even tiles when exposed to sunlight and rain will have stain need to clean .

plenty of options are available in the market, depending on your budget and specific needs.

you may google for composite timber panel or real hard wood timber deck

for low maintenance option, go for timber look-alike tiles.

best to go for tiles (nowadays got many pattern, even wood-planks-like) or those very long lasting actual wood if outdoor.

SPC best do it indoor. Also, don't skip floor leveling if you SPC on high traffic area. Its edge will chip very fast with or without click system.

Don't. I tried installing outside before. The flooring would warp during hot direct sunlight and settles down when colder. After several warping, the joints will crack.

WPC and SPC all have plastic in the mix and don't like hot weather.
