FAQs

What is the main benefit of the honeycomb structure?

The honeycomb structure provides a superior balance between rigidity and lightness, making the boards strong yet easy to handle and install.

Can I use both sides of the decking boards?

Yes, the boards feature a reversible design with a wood grain effect on one side and narrow grooves on the other, offering two distinct aesthetic options.

Are these boards slippery when wet?

No, they are designed to absorb less water than traditional wood, significantly reducing slipperiness caused by mold or fungi, making them safer.

Do I need special tools to install these boards?

While easy to cut and install with standard DIY tools, using fine-toothed blades for cutting and screws designed for composite materials is recommended for best results.

What is the manufacturer's guarantee on these boards?

Dirty Pro Tools offers a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against rot.

How do I clean the composite decking?

Routine cleaning involves sweeping debris. For dirt or stains, use mild soap and water with a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Will these boards fade over time?

Composite decking is designed for UV resistance, but some minimal fading can occur over extended periods. Proper cleaning helps maintain the appearance.

Troubleshooting

Boards seem uneven or warped after installation.

Check that the sub-structure is perfectly level and stable. Ensure expansion gaps were left between boards and at the ends to accommodate temperature changes.

Difficulty cutting the boards cleanly.

Use a fine-toothed blade on a circular saw or jigsaw. Ensure the boards are securely supported during cutting and consider using a guide for straight cuts.

Surface appears dull or stained.

Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly. For stubborn marks, a specialized composite deck cleaner may be necessary.

Screws not holding firmly.

Pre-drilling pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter can help. Ensure you are using screws specifically designed for composite decking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These composite decking boards are designed for DIY installation. Ensure you have a stable and level sub-structure, typically made of treated timber or metal joists. Follow standard decking installation practices, allowing for expansion gaps between boards as recommended by the manufacturer. Use appropriate decking screws designed for composite materials.

Compatibility: The boards are compatible with standard decking accessories and sub-frame systems. Ensure your chosen sub-structure meets local building codes and provides adequate support for the intended load.

Care: Cleaning is straightforward. For routine maintenance, sweep away debris regularly. For dirt or stains, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or power washers, as they can damage the surface. Periodically check for any debris that might have accumulated between boards.
