DECKING INSTALLATION GUIDE
There are two types of installations. Either with hidden fasteners or classical screwing method.
Installation using the hidden fasteners system
Hidden fasteners are being used to avoid the unsightly look of the screws on top of the profile.
- Hidden fasteners have to be placed between the profiles and on top of the wood substructure.
- Each hidden fastener is screwed down between the profiles to have a strong & durable structure.
- After installing the hidden fastener the next decking profile has to be attached with the standard gap of 4 mm which is automatically done by the TY fixing.
- The installer team has to make sure that the installation is made proper & according the factory standards.
- Only the first and last profiles of the complete decking structure have to be screwed directly down.
- The rest can be installed with the hidden fasteners greatly reducing installation times.
The Classical Installation System using top screws
The screws always have to be applied with the 90 Degree angle to the joists
The Profiles have to be pre-drilled
Stainless steel screws have to be used to avoid future problems caused by weather conditions. If the coated or galvanized screws have been used, it could cause black staining or reduce decking life.
Use two screws to attach decking at each joist.
The Screw heads can be painted to look better after installation is done.
After the installation process the surface can be sanded & cleaned to prepare the decks for any kinds of painting or staining
