The Installation of Timberlast Decking

Sub Frame

Timberlast deck is installed on either a wood or metal sub frame just as you would with a normal timber deck, with joists being Domestic 450mm cc and Commercial 400mm cc

Screws

Don’t over tighten screws when fixing clips to joists as this will make it difficult to slide next boards in. When row is finished then tighten, but not over tight.

Expansion

Composite decking will expand length-ways with changes in temperature, and expansion gaps are necessary at the end of boards to allow for movement of 2-3mm.

Don’t install on a 40+ day

On hot days and boards being hot butt boards when doing end to end and in cold days leave 3 - 4mm for expansion on hot days.
The concealed fixing system allows the decking to slide along the clips when it’s expanding or contracting, but in general timberlast composite is more structurally stable than other wood and non wood decking material.

Butting Boards

When butting boards always leave3 - 4mm for expansion at joins or miter cuts, and bevel cutting is recommended to eliminate expansion joints. Must have clips equal over butt. Never butt boards hard up to house etc, leave expansion.

Cutting Boards

Treat deck as normal timber - use saw, drill etc as required etc.

Storing and Handling

Timberlast should be stored off the ground on wood placed every1.5m and undercover until ready to use. It is better to store on it side rather than flat.

New Deck

We suggest you give the deck a hot mop to pick up dust and wood dust, this should stop water marks in the early stage of a new deck.
