Composite Wood Planks

Composite wood planks expand and contract with temperature.

Leave a 1/4" gap where the product meets any wall to allow for expansion and contraction.

Do not use the planks on fully exposed decks that receive excessive sunlight and heat. Composite wood planking must be well ventilated to prevent heat build-up.
Install planks no more than 16" on center. If installing on a diagonal, install no more than 12" on center. Install perpendicular to the house on a 1/4" slope to allow for water run off.
It is recommended that the starter and finish plank are secured by pre-drilling and countersinking composite screws through the face of the plank, then filling with plastic wood filler.
When pre-drilling holes, drill at a 45 degree angle using a 1/8" bit and a 3/16" countersink bit.
