Spotted Gum - Modern Deck Classic Board
Modern Deck™ “Classic Board” is our original board design with a simple and classic looking wood grain texture for a contemporary appearance. The lightly embossed 3D wood grain is designed around the look of a modern real timber finish. Available in 9 popular colours with 2 colours on each board (one on either side) that complement each other. This gives you a final choice of colour prior to installation and an opportunity to add a darker or lighter contrast boarder around your deck. Board size is 140x22x5400. Also available in 140x22x3600.
Modern Deck™ uses the latest technology in machinery and materials with its fully capped Co-Extrusion outer shell that has a unique lightly embossed realistic 3D anti-slip wood grain pattern which also provides the ultimate protection for the composite core.

Important points prior to installation:
2. Please take care when handing, installing and storing your Modern Deck™ boards like all WPC products it will scratch if sharp or heavy objects are dragged across the surface. The Co-extrusion super hard shell that surrounds the core is susceptible to scratching and chipping if care is not taken like all WPC products. One way to remove scratches is with a wire brush or scouring pad, rubbing in the same direction as the grain.
3. It is necessary to acclimatise the decking boards on site for 48 hours before installation. Lay the boards out on the deck frame to allow the temperature to adjust to each individual board so at the time of fixing in place the correct board length is achieved. This is necessary as WPC decking expands and contracts length ways up to 1-1.5% of the length of the board depending on the different weather conditions. Lengths over 5.4m in extreme conditions can expand as much as 8mm as the board heats up and cools down. We recommend that on hot days you fix the boards down early in the morning, installing boards in direct sunlight on hot days may result in excess gapping when the boards cool down. Please refer to the spacing specifications at end of this document.
4. Due to the expansion and contraction (length ways) of WPC decking with changes in temperature throughout the day we recommend using a breaker board for decks longer than 5.4m that require butt joints. This will avoid having uneven butt joints randomly spread across your deck. For example if your deck was 7.5m long divide the deck into 3 equally spaced areas of 2.5m each with a breaker board between each area. Running a board 5.4m with a butt join at the end will require a 7mm space between any butt joints at 20°C
