There are several reasons to choose a technological outdoor decking for terrace and garden floors.
Consumers are increasingly choosing technological outdoor decking because they want their decking project to be finished when it is finished. is sustainable, that it can resist putrefaction, insects, intense sunlight, mould formation y never having to varnish.
The materials that make up the composite decking, by usually contain a thermoplastic, such as polyethylene, which can be pure, recycled from plastic bottlesor bags. At Deckplanet, we have chosen to use high purity polyethylene to ensure that it is free of impurities and traces of metals or elements that could be toxic.. In addition, in these compounds, there are other materials, such aswood shavingssawdust, o peanut shells ground. Deckplanet's outdoor decking also uses pine wood shavings from controlled felling. The technological wood strips be solid or holes corrugatedto reduce weight.
It is important to note the manufacturer's instructions before installing this material. When heats upexpands more than wood longitudinally but less wide. The longer it is the outdoor decking board, the higher their expansion, more or less it is calculated that on average, it expands at a rate of 5mm per linear metre. It is therefore recommended that when installing the decking with outdoor decking, the boards should be shaded so that they are all the same size when they are laid.
For the installation of technological decking on terracesThe following tools can be usedcarpentry standard for cutting, drilling y attachthis technological wood, although we recommendblades carbide-tippedwhich remain best sharpened by more time. The use of screwsstainless steel and fittings of the same material or pvc (staples or clips) to fix the boards to the wooden, pvc or metal battens structure. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the spacing of the battens, this is very important to ensure that the decking is stable and supports the specified weight.
Finally, most of them of the technological timber profiles used to cover terrace surfaces, cannot be used eestructurallyi.e. to use them as beams or corner posts. For this application, Deckplanet is already working on the design and innovation to bring to the market a line of profiles and slats that can be used for outdoor structures such as pergolas and porches.
