Installation:

  1. All decking must be butted hard, with no gap, to allow for shrinkage as the product is GOS. Avoid mitre joins. Tangential and radial shrinkage will occur which will cause the mitre joint to separate.
  2. Fixing to steel joists is not recommended as steel expands and causes shear. Please check with your steel supplier, as they may recommend a timber batten to be fixed to the top of each joist. This will allow the steel to expand without applying pressure to the fixings.
  3. German-made Engineered Spax Boardwalk screws are best practice 120mm x 8mm S/S A4 double thread for 145 x 45 board or 100mm x 6mm preferred Spax-Decking screws for 140x32 Superdeck. Best practice: Decking screws to be pre-drilled to the full depth of the screw. As Superdeck is “green off saw”, the pre-drill hole should be approximately 80% of the shank diameter of the screw. NB: Do not use an impact driver to put the decking screw in.
  4. Treated pine subfloor is not recommended for GOS Superdeck products.
  5. Fix with 2 screws per joist and joins should be fixed approximately 30mm in from each side.
  6. If the anti-scallop rebate is not installed on your Superdeck board, it is best practice to install the boards with the heartwood (pith) side facing down ie. Wood grain convex.
  7. It is also recommended to finish the product before fixing it.

 

Finishing Before Fixing:

For maximum serviceability and protection against weathering, timber decking should be properly finished and maintained. Before fixing, the following should be applied:

  1. For Oil Based Stain Finishes
    a. Give all faces and edges of decking and top edge of deck joists one coat of water-repellent preservative such as:
    b. Tanacoat Water repellent. NOTE: Some stains may not be compatible with water-repellent preservatives. Seek the stain manufacturer’s advice before applying the finish.
  2. For Acrylic Stains and Paint Finishes
    a. All faces and edges of the decking and the top edge of deck joists should be primed with a good quality wood primer, followed by one coat of the selected decking paint (as per the manufacturer’s specifications).
    Note: Pale colours are best, dark colours can accelerate degradation and decay.
  3. End Sealing
    a. All cut ends should be sealed with preservative, stain or primer, depending on the final coating, prior to being fixed in position.
