FAQs

How do I clean the composite decking boards?

Regular sweeping is recommended. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or power washers on high settings.

What is the expected lifespan of these boards?

The manufacturer offers a 10-year guarantee against rot, indicating a long expected lifespan with proper care and installation.

Can I install these boards myself?

Yes, they are designed to be DIY-friendly. They can be cut with standard tools and do not splinter or split, making installation safer and easier.

What are the dimensions of each board?

Each board measures 2.2 meters in length, 146mm in width, and 20mm in depth.

Is the wood grain pattern on both sides?

No, the boards are reversible. One side features a wood grain effect, and the other has narrow grooves, allowing you to choose your preferred aesthetic.

Are these boards suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, the durable composite material and honeycomb structure provide good rigidity and wear resistance suitable for most residential high-traffic areas.

Will the color fade in direct sunlight?

Composite decking can experience some color change over time with prolonged exposure to UV light, though it is generally more fade-resistant than traditional wood.

Troubleshooting

Boards appear uneven after installation

Check that the underlying joists are level and spaced correctly. Ensure boards were installed with proper expansion gaps.

Surface feels unusually slippery after rain

While designed to be non-slip, heavy algae or grime buildup can reduce traction. Clean the surface thoroughly with a composite deck cleaner and a stiff brush.

Scratches visible on the surface

Minor scratches may blend in over time. For deeper scratches, consider specialized composite deck repair kits or touch-up pens, following product instructions carefully.

Boards seem to be expanding or contracting excessively

Verify that the recommended expansion gaps have been maintained during installation. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause natural material movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Composite decking boards are designed for easy installation using standard woodworking tools. Ensure you have appropriate composite decking screws or hidden fastening systems. Follow manufacturer guidelines for spacing and support joist requirements to prevent warping or sagging. Cut boards cleanly with a fine-tooth blade for a professional finish.

Compatibility: These boards are designed for outdoor decking applications. They are compatible with standard deck framing materials like treated lumber or steel joists. Ensure your substructure is sound and meets local building codes.

Care: Minimal care is required. Regularly sweep to remove debris. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with warm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Stains should be addressed promptly. Protect from excessive dragging of heavy or sharp objects.
