Modern Deck™ Boardwalk™
The most advanced composite deck on the market – light weight with minimal expansion and contraction.
Modern Deck™ Boardwalk™ is 100% wood free, it will not rot, warp, twist, split and best of all is termite resistant. Unlike traditional WPC composite decking products Boardwalk™ is light weight and has a minimal amount of expansion and contraction requiring only 1mm spacing between butt joints. Face fixing is recommended with our stainless steel colour coded screws and with the flexible elastic rubber surface that bounces back once the screws are driven below the surface you will have a minimal visual appearance left from the screws.
The elastic rubber surface bounces back once screws are driven below the surface for a minimal visual appearance.
Important points prior to installation:
- Ensure that the boards are stored in a clean dry space and stack the boards on a flat surface with the face of the boards facing each other. Avoid site works contaminating the boards prior to installation and after, for example concrete dust, paint, dirt, cleaning products and others foreign matters that may damage or interfere with the appearance of the new decking boards.
- Be careful handling the boards on site, avoid dragging the boards off the pack or sliding them along the face of the boards, this may cause unnecessary marks on the face of the boards. We recommend 2 people lift and carry the boards into place.
- Due to the technique of manufacture, it is possible that the boards will have a slight variation, the length (+/- 5mm) thickness (+/-2mm) and width (+/-2mm) in each plank, we recommend laying the boards out on the deck to select a mix of grain variations and colours to make the deck have a natural overall look. It may be necessary to move boards around to create a better pattern with the different grains and colours as well as board sizes. Use of packers may be necessary to get the boards level at butt joints.
- Approved screws supplied by your Modern Deck™ Boardwalk™ supplier should be used.
- Ensure that the subframe has been installed correctly and meets the guidelines as to spans and tolerances set out below. A poorly built subframe will lessen the life of the deck and its performance.
- Safety Precautions - We recommend personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used when cutting and handling the Boardwalk™ boards, dust masks, safety glasses, long sleeve shirts and gloves are recommended to be worn.
- During the construction of your new deck if the boards become dirty or foreign materials have contaminated the surface of the boards it is recommended to clean the boards as soon as possible using warm soapy water and a brush.
- Before installation, each board should be checked for defects and to ensure correctly coloured boards have been supplied, if this is to be found please contact your supplier.
- You will find a variety of different patterns in each board as well as colour variations, this process is intentionally done to ensure your new Modern Deck™ Boardwalk™ deck has the appearance and finish of natural timber.
- Due to the deck being exposed to weather and sunlight you may notice a slight change in colour over time, this is normal for any type of material and product used externally and will not take away from the beauty of the deck.
