Installation of TRUdeck® Composite Decking - Starter Clips
Please use the clips that are provided with the TRUdeck®. Different clips or other fixings systems are not permitted and can invalidate the warranty unless agreed prior to installation with a Falcon Timber representative.
Starter clips are provided and should be used when first starting your decking. Screws are provided to secure these to the frame. These are used to secure the first board in place ensuring that a 20mm gap is left to allow for airflow.
DO NOT screw hollow boards as these will expand and crack. If hollow boards are used for a ‘picture frame’ or surround, please use clips provided.
Installation of TRUdeck® Composite Decking - Metal Decking Clips
Ensure metal decking clips are installed on double joists when butting boards together.
The clips should be at least 15mm away from the end of the boards.
The clips should be installed every 400mm on the timber joists.
The decking clips should be part screwed to allow a second deck board to slide into place before securing the clip.
DO NOT over tighten the clip as this could damage the deck board.
Replicate this process throughout to ensure the decking is laid using the simple clip system.
Where boards butt end to end a gap of 5mm should be kept allowing room for expansion. (Dependant on temperature).
The colder the weather the bigger the expansion gap should be. Composite decking boards expand most when the weather is at its warmest.
Temp 5-10ºC 6mm gap recommended
Temp 11-25ºC 5mm gap recommended
Temp 16-25ºC + 3mm gap recommended
TRUdeck® is made of wood powder and recycled plastic material and is subject to movement. The movement is determined by the temperature in the product. This means that darker decking could become hotter and retain heat longer. Sufficient airflow is recommended when laying composite decking ensuring that air can flow throughout the decking. This will help keep decking cool in warmer temperatures.
