Installation Instruction

Short installation instruction

We recommend entrusting the installation of terrace boards in the safe hands of our professionals. However, if you do the installation of the terrace boards yourself, please follow exactly the directions listed below, which will guarantee a long service life of our material:

1. Upon receipt, the material should be allowed to acclimate for at least 24 hours, stored in a shady, dry and smooth-faced place.

2. When designing the subfloor construction of the terrace (alignment), the distances between the centers of the sleepers must not exceed 400 millimeters.

3. For terraces with a medium and low load: 400 millimeters between the centers of the sleepers. For terraces with a high load, such as a public place, we recommend reducing the distance to 300 millimeters.

4. When creating a terrace subfloor and providing the interval between the load-bearing elements required above, we recommend leaving the smallest space on the outer edge of the terrace, thus guaranteeing a stronger foundation for the part of the terrace that will have a higher load.

5. When fixing the terrace boards, compensating gaps in the longitudinal direction to the board or obstacle (house wall, tree, etc.) must be observed.

6. A gap of 1-2 millimeters must be observed for each running meter of the terrace board so that the material can expand in hot and humid weather.

7. When installing terrace boards, overhangs of more than 50 mm are not permitted! The ends of the boards must be secured with a sleeper no further than 50 mm from the end of the board to prevent incorrect load formation. The example below shows how the boards should not be installed (the end of the board on the left is not fixed, the compensation gap on the right side of the wall is not observed).

8. We recommend not to lay the terrace boards longitudinally to avoid gaps in the terrace covering, but if the geometric dimensions of the terrace do not allow the use of solid boards, each end of the terrace board should be placed on its own sleeper, creating a double sleeper in this place.

9. Only stainless-steel screws of sufficient thickness (3.5 mm) should be used to fasten the boards. The screws work in tandem with our mounting brackets.

10. If you drill through the board when using the screws to screw the board in, the full warranty conditions may not apply. We recommend assembling our boards only with our mounting brackets.

11. When planning the terrace covering, it is very important to create a 1 % slope for the entire terrace covering to ensure drainage of water from the terrace. At the same time, care must be taken to ensure that the terrace boards do not end on a sleeper which may prevent the drainage of water from the ends of the boards.

12. Terrace boards must be properly fastened so as their location cannot change and deform. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us and we will help! All these installation terms are binding on any customer who has purchased our product to guarantee the full warranty period. You can find the full warranty conditions on our website.

Examples of exposure to inappropriate environmental conditions

TOP DEX WPC terrace boards are a physical material with their own characteristics and, although it is a wood-polymer composite material that is much more durable and sustainable than ordinary wooden terraces, it can be negatively affected and damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. The following is a list of situations that significantly reduce the life of the boards and are not covered by the Warranty:

There is insufficient ventilation under the terrace deck. No drainage of water away from the base is provided, which results in standing puddles and/or increased humidity under the terrace.

The terrace boards are in standing water or the terraces are not cleared of snow during the winter.

The terrace boards have been in contact with saltwater.

No slopes have been observed during the installation of the terrace, as a result of which standing water regularly remains on the terrace. We recommend a 1 % slope when installing terrace boards, which means a 1-centimeter slope per each running meter of the board, in order not to create standing water on the terrace board and to ensure the full warranty conditions. If an ice cork has formed in the inner cavities of the terrace, which will destroy the terrace boards during expanding.

uzstadisanas instrukcija 12

There are objects on the terrace for a long time, under which the moisture accumulates without the possibility of drying out or naturally ventilating, such as carpets, large boxes or other waterproof coatings.

Terrace boards are in direct contact with concrete, walls or other surfaces through which water may flow without the possibility of sufficient ventilation of the terrace board.

Cleaning and maintenance are recommended:

The TOP DEX WPC terrace board warranty is valid if all the conditions described in this document are met and when reporting a defect to TOP DEX technical professionals, if necessary, it is possible to detect the defect in person. The warranty does not cover damage caused due to the absence of maintenance and cleaning, by presence of excessive moisture, due to inaccurate installation of the terrace, as well as natural disasters that have caused physical damage.

Regular non-maintenance of the terrace can lead to a scenario where the warranty is not valid, so we recommend washing your terrace with a high-pressure cleaner at a distance of 20-40 cm at a pressure of 5-8 bar at least twice a year.

Examples of misuse:

Although TOP DEX WPC terrace boards have a much longer lifetime than ordinary wooden terrace boards, they can be easily mechanically damaged with various mechanical tools, we remind you that these terrace boards are for domestic use only.
