WPC Decking Manufacturer for Germany — Factory-Direct Boards
BOHAI manufactures WPC decking at its own extrusion plant in Sihui, Zhaoqing, Guangdong. This page is for German distributors, builders’ merchants, landscape contractors and project buyers comparing a WPC Terrassendielen Hersteller, WPC Terrassendielen Großhandel or factory-direct composite decking supplier in Germany.
Germany already has mature local brands and stockists. A new factory source is useful only if the offer is specific: named profile, cap construction, board length, Dark Grey sample, complete accessories, current documentation, packing plan and a delivered route to the actual warehouse—not a generic FOB square-metre number.
The minimum order is 70 m². That can validate one roof terrace, hospitality project or focused dealer range before a larger stock programme. Hamburg is the first sea route to compare, but Bremerhaven or Wilhelmshaven can be commercially stronger for a particular sailing, terminal or inland destination.

Profile, method and limitation
Quote Hamburg First—Then Price the Same German Delivery Point
A seaport is not a landed price. Compare the complete route through terminal, customs, inland transport, unloading and empty-container return to the same warehouse or project.
Hamburg is the first route for many German buyers
The Port of Hamburg describes an extensive rail network connecting its container terminals with German and European hinterland destinations. That makes Hamburg a logical first route for northern, central and eastern Germany, but the live sailing and final inland leg still decide. Port of Hamburg rail overview.
Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven belong in a live comparison
Bremerhaven is a major container hub with rail and road distribution. Wilhelmshaven can be relevant when the carrier, terminal window and receiving point favour it. Ask the forwarder to quote the same Incoterm, destination, free-time assumptions, chassis or rail leg and empty return—not three port-to-port numbers with different boundaries. Official Bremerhaven container overview.
Long boards change the last kilometre
A 5.8 m board affects container loading, warehouse racks, delivery vehicles, turning space and site lifting. Send the German postcode, dock or forklift arrangement, maximum accepted pack length and restricted-delivery details before the production plan is fixed.
Rail can be a commercial option, not an automatic answer
Hamburg’s rail connections are extensive, but the correct mode depends on volume, destination, terminal cut-offs and local unloading. Compare truck, rail and combined transport using the same arrival point and responsibility split.

Germany Does Not Need Another Generic WPC Catalogue
The category is established. The factory offer must earn its place through a repeatable specification, commercial clarity and a supply system that a German distributor can reorder.
Use the language buyers already use
German buyers search for WPC Terrassendielen, WPC Dielen, WPC Terrassenbelag, Komposit Terrassendielen, a WPC Terrassendielen Hersteller and WPC Terrassendielen Großhandel. Those terms identify the category; a trade decision still turns on the exact section, cap, surface, metre weight, lengths, accessory system, evidence and landed cost.
Position BOHAI as a factory source or second source
Germany already has local stock ranges, private labels and specialist installers. BOHAI is relevant where a buyer needs another manufacturing source, an OEM/private-label programme, a different profile mix, controlled tooling, coordinated accessories or a lower trial quantity than a full-container-only supplier.
Dark Grey is the page direction, not the whole range
The Hamburg rooftop visual uses a charcoal-toned Dark Grey board beside brick, glass and metal. Approve the physical sample outdoors in wet and dry conditions, then compare Antique, Light Grey, Teak, Walnut and the applicable classic or 3D-embossed palette before deciding a German stock range.
Write a German Stock Code That Can Be Reordered
“Dark Grey WPC” is not a reproducible specification. The purchase order should identify construction, section, surface, colour, board length and compatible hardware.
Core and cap are separate specification lines
The confirmed company formulation is approximately 60% wood powder, 30% HDPE and 10% additives. Capped co-extrusion ranges add a separate polymer wearing layer. Do not convert that into an unsupported recycled-content percentage, environmental credit or “100% recyclable” claim.
The profile name must survive a repeat order
Face width alone does not distinguish chamber geometry, wall thickness, metre weight, clip groove or cap coverage. Record the exact model and approved sawn sample. Use the profile schedule to compare the sections.
Dimensions and tolerances belong on the technical sheet
The quotation should state nominal section, supplied lengths, effective cover, surface code and applicable tolerances. The installation drawing then adds board direction, support spacing, movement gaps, butt-joint supports and perimeter detail.
Colours — Three Ranges
Dark Grey leads this Germany page visually; capped, classic and 3D-embossed ranges remain available in their full documented palettes.
The full colour card
Capped co-extrusion: Dark Grey, Antique, Redwood, IPE, Light-grey, Walnut.
Classic uncapped: Dark Grey, Redwood, Walnut, Coffee, Chocolate, Ebony.
3D embossing: Dark Grey, Red Wood, Walnut, Chocolate, Light Grey, Dark Grey.
Judge the sample where the project will be built
Dark Grey works beside red brick, pale concrete, glass and anthracite metal, but it also absorbs more solar heat than a light colour. Approve the physical sample outdoors in direct sun, shade, rain and low-angle light before selecting a dealer range or barefoot application.
Order the whole visible area in one batch
Pigment is mixed into the extrusion run, so separate batches of the same named colour are not identical. Order one visible area together and keep spare boards from that batch. This matters on hotels and spa projects installed in stages.
Where WPC Decking Is Specified in Germany
These are application illustrations, not claims of completed BOHAI projects in Germany. Each setting changes the technical and commercial brief.
Hamburg roof and harbour terraces
Threshold, drainage, waterproofing access, wind, load and edge restraint govern the complete build-up. The Dark Grey hero is an AI application illustration.
Residential terraces and balconies
Board temperature, joist spacing, ventilation, movement gaps and a repeatable accessory pack matter more than an isolated colour image.
Dealer stock and landscape projects
A stock range needs clear cartons, matched clips and trims, profile-specific files, batch-matched spares and lengths suited to German storage and delivery.
Installation Details German Buyers Should Request Before Ordering
The visible boards are one line in a buildable system. Joists, clips, fixings, trims, drainage and access determine whether the quoted package can actually be installed.
Dimension every support and gap
Catalogue starting points are 5–7 mm between board sides, about 5 mm from a capped board to a wall and 3–5 mm where ends meet. Each end at a butt joint needs its own joist. Final spacing and structural design remain profile- and project-specific.
Quote the complete accessory schedule
Available components include starter clips, hidden clips, expansion screws, 50 × 50 × 3000 mm corner trim, 40 × 30 × 3000 mm WPC joist and 40 × 25 × 2900 mm aluminium joist. The German project designer selects the support system, fixings and metal grade for the site.
Do not use a product page as a structural calculation
The decking board is a wearing surface, not the building structure. Balconies, roofs, raised decks, public areas and concentrated loads require the responsible designer to verify substrate, beams, supports, anchorage, edge protection and permitted loading.
Price One German Project or Dealer Range
A useful quotation starts with an exact profile and receiving point. It does not begin and end with a generic €/m² comparison.
Send the inputs that change product and landed cost
Name the profile, surface, colour, lengths, quantity, accessories, German postcode, unloading method and required date. We return current unit pricing, packing, evidence scope and route basis.
Factory Controls Behind a Repeatable German Range
Plan capacity against the requested arrival date
Approximate production capacity is 2,000 tonnes per month. Capacity is not a delivery promise: the quotation should name the production window, board mix, packing plan and current route assumptions.
In-house tooling keeps section responsibility with the plant
BOHAI owns and cuts the dies used on its extrusion lines. The exact profile code and approved sawn sample connect the sales specification with tooling, dimensional checks and repeat production.
Keep the batch record with the commercial documents
Routine factory checks are recorded before dispatch and a batch report accompanies the shipment. The German buyer should store it with the quotation, invoice, packing list, arrival record and retained sample.
Private label begins with controlled data
OEM cartons, labels and inserts should use the agreed profile, colour, dimensions, installation limits and evidence scope. Marketing copy must not turn a report on one specimen into a catalogue-wide certification.
Certification: What We Hold, and the Exact Scope
Ask for the document itself and read the profile named on it.
| Item | Status | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| CE marking / CPR | Held, scoped | Certificate M.2024.206.C97619, UDEM, valid to 11 March 2029; issued against EN 15534-1:2014+A1:2017 and EN 14041:2018 for the named decking profiles. Ask before assuming it covers another profile. |
| Declaration of Performance | Available by profile | The reaction-to-fire declaration belongs on the DoP for the profile being quoted. It is not created by copying a class from another board. |
| Slip resistance | R10, scoped | Intertek report 230625005SHF-001 under AS 4586-2013 Appendix D, measured on profile ZSGJ138H23A. It is a shod wet ramp result, not a barefoot pool classification. |
| ASTM E84 | Held, scoped | Class A result on a named 138 × 23 mm board. This is a US test method and does not replace the European classification required for a German project. |
| ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 | Held | Quality and environmental management certificates valid to April 2027. |
| Tests not held | State the gap | Where a tender asks for a method or profile outside the existing evidence, testing can be discussed before quotation. We do not relabel another method as an equivalent. |
What BOHAI Does for a German Distributor
Define the channel before building the range
A national wholesaler, regional Baustoffhandel, installer-led business, online seller and project distributor require different profile depth, colour breadth, carton information, board lengths, accessories and sample sets.
Send Dark Grey and comparison samples
Samples are free; the buyer pays the courier and the charge is credited against the first order. Compare Dark Grey beside one lighter and one warmer colour outdoors. Request a sawn section so cap coverage, chambers and clip grooves are visible.
Build a current unit quotation
Send the profile, colour, length, quantity, German receiving point, target date, Incoterm and accessory scope. We return current unit prices and quote validity instead of a broad retail price or an unsupported saving percentage.
Attach evidence to the quoted profile
Certificates and reports have scope. We provide the current document available for the named item and state evidence gaps plainly. We do not claim ASTM D7032, ICC-ES, NFPA 285 or a catalogue-wide fire classification.
Germany: Route, Customs, VAT and Packaging Questions
Goods arriving from China require a customs and tax plan owned by the importer or its representative. Packaging responsibility must also be allocated before goods are placed on the German market.
| Item | What the quotation or import brief should state |
|---|---|
| Port of loading | Nansha or Yantian, Guangdong |
| German sea route | Hamburg first comparison; Bremerhaven or Wilhelmshaven when live service and total landed route are stronger |
| Final receiving point | Warehouse or project postcode, unloading method, maximum pack length and delivery restrictions |
| EORI and customs | The declarant/importer or representative confirms the EORI, tariff classification, customs value, declaration route and any duty |
| Import VAT | Germany’s standard VAT rate is 19%; tax treatment and deductibility belong to the importer and its adviser |
| Packaging/EPR | Confirm who is the producer under the rules in force, whether LUCID registration, system participation, reporting or an authorised representative applies |
| Quotation currency | EUR, USD or another agreed supply currency, with validity and Incoterm written on the offer |
| Minimum order | 70 m² |
| Samples | Free; courier paid by buyer and credited against the first order |
| Production | Current schedule stated on the quotation; standard catalogue planning is typically 20 days but not a freight-arrival promise |
Design the German Deck Around Water, Heat and Access
The board is the visible layer. Drainage, ventilation, support, movement and maintenance access determine how the complete terrace behaves.
Drain below the board, not only between boards
Open board gaps are useful only when the substrate, waterproofing and outlets below have a continuous route. Keep drains accessible and do not let fascia, sealant, planters or low thresholds create a trapped tray.
Dark Grey needs a surface-temperature decision
Dark colours warm more in direct sun. For barefoot residential or hospitality use, compare physical samples against lighter options and consider shading, orientation and the real usage pattern. No supplier should promise that colour has no temperature effect.
Freeze–thaw exposure does not excuse trapped water
The assembly should drain before water can stand around joists, clips, pedestals and wall junctions. The local designer verifies substructure, waterproofing, movement, wind and structural loads for the actual site.
Keep roof and balcony edges inspectable
Before quoting, send the permitted build-up, threshold level, outlet positions, proposed support, edge restraint and engineer-imposed load limits. Product weight alone is not a structural approval.
Build German Stock Around Transport and the Installer’s Cut Plan
Select lengths from real projects and handling limits
Choose among relevant 2.9 m, 3.6 m, 4.0 m and 5.8 m options using terrace dimensions, joist direction, warehouse racks, delivery vehicles and butt-joint count. Availability remains profile- and production-plan-specific.
Count the whole system before comparing suppliers
A low board-only figure can become expensive when clips, start clips, joists, trims, suitable fasteners, extra supports and colour-matched spares are added later. Put every required line into one bill of materials.
Keep visible areas and spare boards in one batch
Pigment and surface appearance can vary between production runs. Order the main visible area and practical maintenance spares together, record the batch and avoid promising a perfect future colour match.
Make labels useful in a German warehouse
Carton and pack labels should identify model, surface, colour, length, quantity, batch and handling orientation. German-language installation inserts can be agreed for an OEM range after the technical source text is approved.
Four Germany-Specific Procurement Mistakes
Comparing FOB with a German retail €/m² price
Retail may include VAT, local stockholding, cutting, accessories, returns, technical support and margin. Compare the same supply boundary, then add customs, import VAT, terminal, inland transport, unloading, finance and local obligations separately.
Treating CE as a universal performance approval
A document has a product and scope. Ask for the exact certificate or report, issuing body, profile and limitation. Do not transfer a result from fencing to decking, from one section to the whole catalogue, or from an ASTM E84 specimen to European reaction-to-fire classification.
Leaving packaging responsibility until arrival
Under current German packaging rules, the applicable producer role and obligations depend on how packaged goods are first placed on the market. Allocate LUCID, system participation, reporting and authorised-representative responsibility before shipment.
Approving Dark Grey from a monitor
Screens do not reproduce texture, sheen, wet appearance or surface heat. Approve a physical sample outdoors beside the project materials and record the exact profile and colour in the purchase order.
German Customs, 19% Standard VAT and LUCID Packaging Checks
This is a procurement checklist, not tax or legal advice. The German importer, customs representative and packaging-responsible party must confirm the current treatment for the chosen transaction.
Identify the declarant and EORI before booking
German Customs explains that an EORI number identifies economic operators in EU customs procedures. The importer or appointed representative should confirm who declares the goods, the commodity code, customs value, any duty and the records required before the purchase order is final. German Customs: use of the EORI number.
Use 19% as the standard VAT reference, not as a landed-cost shortcut
The EU’s current VAT table lists Germany’s standard rate as 19%. Import VAT calculation, tax base, payment and recovery depend on the importer’s situation and should be confirmed by its broker or tax adviser. EU VAT rules and rates.
Allocate packaging responsibility under the current rules
Germany’s Central Agency Packaging Register explains that registration, system participation and reporting depend on the producer role, packaging category and route to market; companies abroad without a German branch may need an authorised representative under the current framework. Confirm the role before goods are placed on the market. Official LUCID registration guidance.
Reissue the quotation when a commercial input changes
A change to profile, Dark Grey colour, length, quantity, destination, Incoterm or accessory scope deserves a new quotation. This keeps product price, freight basis and importer-side costs auditable.
Warranty Evidence Starts with the Order Record
Read the stepped schedule, not only the headline term
The capped co-extrusion schedule runs for 15 years and the classic uncapped schedule for 10 years, with covered value reducing by time band. Request the written schedule before resale claims are drafted.
Preserve destination-port and batch documents
The schedule runs from the date the shipment is signed for at the destination port. Keep the arrival record, commercial invoice, batch report and the quotation that names the exact profile and colour together.
Make a future investigation reproducible
Photographs, the installation layout, drainage and support details, maintenance history and a retained spare board help distinguish a product question from an assembly or external-damage issue.

German distributor and project enquiry
German Product Terms Mapped to the Right Buyer Journey
The page combines German category language with English trade terms while keeping installation, cost and “best material” questions connected to deeper guides.
Manufacturer and wholesale intent
Buyers comparing a WPC Terrassendielen Hersteller, WPC Terrassendielen Großhandel, composite decking manufacturers, a composite decking supplier, alternative composite deck suppliers or a composite deck material manufacturer need factory identity, profile control, MOQ, samples, accessory scope, documents and a delivered route. This page answers that Germany-specific commercial intent.
Product and best-material intent
BOHAI supplies WPC Terrassendielen, WPC Dielen, capped and classic composite decking, hollow and solid composite deck boards, alternative composite decking boards and coordinated components. A useful best composite decking comparison tests the suitable composite decking material against exposure, profile, cap, support, surface, colour, temperature and evidence—not one universal “best” label.
Installation and cost intent
A reliable composite decking installation plan records board direction, support spacing, double joists, movement gaps, drainage, clips, fascia, waste and access. Those inputs also drive composite decking cost, composite deck installation costs and any useful composite deck cost calculator.

Germany: WPC Decking Questions
Factory, route and import
Is BOHAI a WPC decking manufacturer or a trading company?
BOHAI is the manufacturing/export brand of Guangdong Bangying New Material Co., Ltd. The plant compounds and extrudes WPC products in Sihui, Zhaoqing, Guangdong and controls its own profile tooling.
What is the minimum order for Germany?
70 m². It can cover one real project or a focused German dealer-range test before a larger stock order.
Should German orders always use Hamburg?
No. Hamburg is the first route to compare, especially because of its hinterland network. Bremerhaven or Wilhelmshaven may be better for a live sailing or final destination. Compare the total route to the same receiving point.
What VAT rate should be used in the import plan?
Germany’s standard VAT rate is 19%. The importer or its adviser confirms the customs value, tariff classification, any duty, import-VAT calculation, payment and recovery treatment.
Who handles LUCID packaging obligations?
That must be allocated before sale or shipment according to the current producer role, packaging category and route to market. Registration, system participation, reporting and any authorised-representative requirement are not automatically transferred by the board price or Incoterm.
Product, colour and installation
Can German distributors order Dark Grey WPC Terrassendielen?
Yes, subject to the selected profile and current production plan. Approve a physical sample outdoors and record both the exact profile and Dark Grey colour on the purchase order.
Which WPC decking is best for a German roof terrace?
There is no board-only answer. Start with permitted load, waterproofing, threshold, drainage, support, movement, wind and access. Capped construction can improve surface cleaning and colour behaviour, while the project designer verifies the complete assembly.
Does BOHAI have ASTM D7032 or a European fire classification?
No ASTM D7032 or ICC-ES evaluation report is held, and BOHAI does not hold EN 13501-1 or BROOF(t4) for these decking assemblies. One scoped ASTM E84 result belongs only to profile ZSGJ138H23 with the white surface exposed and is not a German/EU classification.
What installation gaps are starting points?
The guide shows 5–7 mm between board sides, about 5 mm from capped decking to a wall and 3–5 mm at butt joints. Each butt joint requires double joists. Final values remain profile- and project-specific.
Is the Hamburg hero a completed BOHAI project?
No. It is an AI-generated application illustration of Dark Grey WPC decking on a Hamburg rooftop terrace and is not presented as a German installation reference.
