General Information
■ | Before beginning with the installation, the boards must acclimatise at the installation site for 3 days. Store Tru-woods in the original packaging and lying on a flat surface, dry and well ventilated. |
■ | The installation may only be performed with suitable and approved accessories. Faulty installation can damage the material and reduce its service life. |
■ | Do not install the decking at temperatures below 0 °C. |
■ | Check the individual elements for any damage prior to processing. Variations in colour and structure are typical for the material and ensure a natural look. By beginning with the installation, you acknowledge that the appearance and properties of the material are free of defects. |
■ | BPC expands with a rise in temperature and humidity and shrinks under cold and dry conditions. This movement must not be hindered by the fastening. A sufficient distance must be left between all solid bordering structures. |
■ | Due to the high density of Tru-woods, screw holes must be pre-drilled. |
■ | Include in your planning a sufficient grade for water drainage, which should be 2 % in the direction of the boards and away from the building. |
■ | The subsurface must be clean, free of all plant growth, level, firm, load-bearing and protected against freezing. Water must be able to flow off unobstructed. |
■ | Under the decking, a clearance of at least 25 mm must be left all around for unhindered air circulation. Direct contact with other structures and to the subsurface is not permitted. |
