Product Photography
We provide real factory photography for every solid profile: full board shots, a cross-section cut clearly showing the solid interior structure (useful for buyers comparing solid versus hollow visually), surface texture close-ups, installed application photos, and export packaging and palletizing photos so you can plan container loading in advance.
A note on tolerance: because solid profiles use a single continuous cross-section, dimensional consistency along the length of the board is generally very stable, and our datasheets list tolerance ranges for thickness and width separately from nominal dimensions so your installation team can plan fastener spacing accurately. We can also provide a physical cut sample on request so you can measure the cross-section yourself before finalizing your order.
Minimum Order Quantity & Pricing Structure
Solid core profiles use more raw material per linear meter than hollow profiles, which affects both pricing and container loading efficiency, so we factor that into how we quote this line. MOQ for a first trial order is typically 1 x 20ft container, though because solid boards are heavier, container weight limits are reached with a somewhat smaller total board count than for hollow profiles - we will flag this during quotation so your landed cost calculation is accurate.
| Order Volume | Pricing Tier |
| Sample pieces | Sample fee + courier, often credited toward first bulk order |
| 1 x 20ft container | Standard FOB pricing (higher per-piece material cost than hollow profiles) |
| 1 x 40ft HQ container | Discounted per-sqm pricing |
| Multiple containers / annual contract | Negotiated volume pricing with priority production scheduling |
Quotations are typically given as FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, with CIF and DDP available once destination and Incoterm are confirmed. Standard payment terms are 30% deposit by T/T with the balance against the B/L copy; we are also open to discussing L/C at sight for larger first-time orders. Because ocean freight is charged by container regardless of weight up to the container limit, we are happy to run a cost comparison between solid and hollow profiles for your specific project quantity so you can see the true landed-cost difference.
We can also issue a combined quotation alongside our hollow core pricing for the same project, so your team can compare landed cost per square meter side by side before deciding which profile to specify.
OEM & Customization Options
Solid core profiles are most often specified for commercial or hospitality projects with specific structural or code requirements, so customization requests here tend to focus on load performance and dimensional fit as much as appearance.
- Color & surface texture - standard color card, or custom color matching against a Pantone/RAL reference
- Profile dimensions - new solid profile molds can be developed for projects with specific thickness or width requirements, including heavier-duty commercial specifications
- Surface capping - a co-extrusion cap layer can be added to a solid core for buyers who want both maximum structural strength and low-maintenance surface protection together
- Branding - private label packaging, printed cartons, and embossed board-end logos are available
- Length cutting - boards can be pre-cut to project-specific lengths to reduce job-site waste, particularly useful given the higher material cost of solid profiles
- Packaging - reinforced pallet packaging is available given the added weight of solid profiles, to reduce pallet strain during handling and transit
For new profile tooling, we typically request a technical drawing or physical reference sample along with the intended load specification, and we will confirm mold cost, amortization terms, and sample lead time before starting production.
If your project mixes solid core in high-traffic zones with hollow core elsewhere to manage budget, we can coordinate color and surface finish matching across both profile types so the finished installation looks visually consistent despite using two different structural cores. Sample sets showing both options side by side are available on request.
Certification & Quality Control
Because solid core profiles are frequently specified where structural load performance matters - commercial decking, public walkways, and hospitality projects with heavy foot traffic - buyers on this line tend to ask for load and strength documentation in addition to standard environmental certification.
| Certification / Test | Availability |
| REACH / RoHS compliance | Standard formulation compliant |
| FSC Chain of Custody (fiber source) | Available on request |
| Third-party lab reports | Flexural strength, screw-holding strength, density, water absorption, and slip resistance test reports available (SGS/BV/Intertek) |
| Factory quality system | ISO 9001 factory management system |
Our QC process for solid profiles includes the standard incoming raw material inspection, in-process dimensional monitoring during extrusion, and pre-shipment sampling for thickness tolerance and surface defects, with an additional focus on checking for internal voids or inconsistent density that would undermine the "fully solid" specification the buyer is paying for. We are glad to arrange a third-party pre-shipment inspection, including a cross-section cut check on sample pieces, if that level of verification matters for your project's structural sign-off requirements.
For projects requiring documented load performance as part of a structural sign-off, we can also share historical flexural and screw-holding test data from previous production batches, and can coordinate a fresh third-party test on your specific order if your project timeline allows for it. Batch traceability records link each shipment to its production date and raw material source, which is useful for after-the-fact quality documentation if a project inspector requests it. If your project specification names a particular test standard, let us know early so we can confirm whether existing data covers it or a fresh test is needed.
Production Capacity & Lead Time
Solid profiles require a longer cooling and calibration cycle during extrusion than hollow profiles of the same width, since more material mass needs to set evenly to avoid internal stress or warping, which affects both capacity and lead time.
| Item | Detail |
| Monthly capacity | Slightly lower throughput per line than hollow profiles due to longer cooling cycles per meter produced |
| Sample lead time | 5-8 working days for existing profiles |
| Standard order lead time | 20-30 days after deposit and specification confirmation |
| Custom mold lead time | Additional 25-35 days for a new solid profile mold |
| Peak season note | Given the longer production cycle, we recommend confirming solid-profile orders slightly earlier than usual ahead of Q1 (Chinese New Year) if your project has a fixed installation date |
We provide production progress updates at each stage of extrusion and cooling, and can arrange factory video calls during production for buyers who want visual confirmation of the solid cross-section before the goods are loaded and shipped.
If your project schedule is phased, we can split a confirmed order across multiple shipment dates to match your construction timeline rather than requiring the full quantity to ship at once. We will confirm a written shipment calendar once your production slot is booked so your site team can plan installation crews accordingly. Expedited production can also be discussed for time-critical orders, typically involving a modest surcharge or an adjusted queue position, and we recommend confirming your required delivery date as early as possible so we can assess feasibility honestly rather than promising a date we cannot meet.
Logistics & After-Sales Support
Because solid profiles are heavier per linear meter, freight planning and pallet weight limits matter more here than for our lighter product lines, and we account for this when preparing your shipping quote.
- Shipping ports - orders typically go out via Ningbo or Shanghai port; FOB, CIF, or DDP quoting available
- Weight-aware container loading - because solid boards are heavier, container loading is planned around weight limits as much as volume, and we will confirm the realistic piece count per container at quotation stage rather than a volume-only estimate
- Transit packaging - reinforced pallets with corner protectors and secure strapping to handle the added weight safely during loading and long-distance sea freight
- Documentation - commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin provided as standard; fumigation and third-party inspection certificates available on request
- Damage/shortage claims - please document any container or pallet damage with photos at unloading; verified manufacturing defects are resolved through replacement stock or credit on your next order
- Installation guidance - installation manuals and fixing-system recommendations suited to the added weight and rigidity of solid profiles are provided for your installation team
Our export and logistics team remains available by phone or WhatsApp through the full shipping window to help plan realistic container quantities for heavier product lines like this one.
An account coordinator remains your single point of contact from order confirmation through final delivery, which is particularly useful for solid-profile orders where weight-related freight questions often come up mid-shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is solid core really necessary, or is hollow core "good enough" for most projects?
A: For standard residential decking, hollow core is usually perfectly adequate and more cost-efficient; solid core becomes the better choice when the project involves heavy commercial foot traffic, concentrated point loads such as furniture legs or equipment, or a building code that specifies a minimum density or strength rating.
Q: How much heavier is solid core compared to hollow core?
A: Solid profiles typically run noticeably heavier per linear meter than an equivalent hollow profile, which affects both handling on-site and the number of boards that fit within a container's weight limit - we can share a direct weight comparison for the specific profiles you are considering.
Q: Can solid core profiles be capped with the co-extrusion surface layer?
A: Yes, solid cores can be paired with our co-extrusion capped surface for buyers who want maximum structural strength combined with low-maintenance surface protection.
Q: Does solid core cost significantly more than hollow core?
A: Yes, generally - solid profiles use more raw material per meter, so per-unit pricing runs higher; we recommend comparing landed cost per square meter rather than per-piece cost, since container loading efficiency differs between the two profile types.
Q: Which material core is available in solid profiles?
A: Solid profiles are available across our standard PE composite, bamboo fiber composite, and rice husk composite material lines, so you can combine solid structural performance with whichever raw material story fits your project.
