2. Usage & Care Instructions

One of the greatest benefits of WPC decking is its simplicity. Follow these easy steps to keep it looking pristine.

• Regular Cleaning: For routine cleaning, simply sweep away debris and wash the surface with a mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose.

• Stain Removal: For common stains like grease or dirt, use a dedicated composite deck cleaner. Apply according to the manufacturer's instructions and rinse well. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or undiluted bleach.

• Avoidance:

  • Do not use a pressure washer on a high-pressure setting, as this can damage the surface texture.

  • Avoid dragging heavy, sharp-edged furniture or equipment across the deck. Use furniture pads or cups.

  • While highly resistant, it’s best to promptly clean up spills from highly pigmented liquids (like red wine) or oily substances.

3. Installation Guide

Our WPC decking system is designed for quick installation with standard tools, saving you time and labor costs.

Important Note: This is a general guide. Always consult and follow the specific installation instructions provided with your purchase. Local building codes must be observed.

Step 1: Planning & Preparation

• Check Local Regulations: Obtain any necessary permits and ensure your design complies with local building codes.

• Design & Layout: Plan your deck layout, including stairs, rails, and any cut-outs. Remember to account for expansion and contraction by planning for gaps (see Step 3).

• Substructure (Joists): Ensure your joist frame is level, square, and structurally sound. Joists should be spaced according to the decking board specifications (typically 12" to 16" on center for our products).

• Slope for Drainage: The frame must have a slight slope away from any building (minimum 1/4 inch per foot) to ensure proper water runoff.

Step 2: Installing the Starter Clip & First Board

• Starter Position: Place the first board along your starting edge, ensuring it is perfectly straight and aligned.

• Fastening: We recommend using the hidden fastening clip system for a clean, screw-free finish. Place the starter clips onto the joists at the starting edge and slide the first board into place, securing it with screws through the clip into the joist.

Step 3: Installing Subsequent Boards

• Place Fastening Clips: For each joist position along the next board's run, place a standard hidden clip onto the joist.

• Connect Boards: Align the next board with the previous one and gently tap it into the clips using a mallet and a tapping block to protect the board edge.

• Expansion Gaps: Maintain a consistent side-to-side gap (typically 1/8 inch) between boards as specified in your manual. This is crucial for thermal expansion.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Board

• Final Board Installation: The last board may need to be ripped to width. Use a carbide-tipped saw blade for a clean cut. A fascia board or picture-framing technique is often used to cover the cut end and exposed fasteners for a professional finish.

• Perimeter Trimming: Install trim or fascia boards around the deck perimeter to conceal the joist ends and frame, giving your deck a polished look.

Step 5: Post-Installation Check

• Walk the entire deck to ensure all boards are securely fastened and there is no noticeable movement.

• Clean the deck surface to remove any installation debris.
