Technical Information

Fitting and Usage

To fit the Edge Trim, simply position over deck edge and fix through side face into fascia at every joist with plastic-headed pins, or pre-drilled and screwed. Like the decking boards themselves, the edge trim can be mitred at the corners.

The following describes key points for general installation. Be sure to refer to the comprehensive installation guide when ordering, and when fitting.

Subframe and Joists

• Can be fitted to timber, aluminium or composite subframe
• Slope subframe at 10mm per metre towards drainage, to discourage free-standing water
• Use maximum joist centres of 350mm, or 25mm if installing boards diagonally
• Double the joists where board ends meet
• Allow 150mm air-gap below the deck

Laying Decking Boards

• Provide expansion gaps to allow proper drainage and ventilation
• Gap between wall and first decking board should be 10mm
• Side-to-side and end-to-end gaps should be 3-7mm
• Side-to-object and end-to-object gaps should be at least 5mm
• Starter Clips should be used to secure sides of board at edge of subframe on every joist Hidden T-Clips are loosely screwed every joist along the board and tightened when next board is inserted
• Deck edges can be finished using Hollow Deck Boards with Edge Trim, or the Step/Edge Nosing

Maintenance

• Do not clean with chemical products, a garden hose is usually sufficient
• If pressure washing, use 80 bar max, 40°C max and head at least 30cm from surface
