Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a sturdy sub-frame system consisting of pressure-treated timber or aluminum battens spaced appropriately to support the 142mm width. Because the material is a composite, it will undergo minor thermal expansion; therefore, it is critical to leave a small expansion gap at the ends of boards and at junctions to prevent buckling. Fasten the boards using compatible stainless steel screws to ensure long-term resistance to rust. For care, the surface requires only periodic cleaning with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or a low-pressure hose to remove dust and debris. Avoid using high-pressure power washers, as these can damage the composite surface texture.
