Product Information

Please note that while this calculator shows the decking required, Southgate Timber advises that 10% be added to the total to cover wastage. This warranty guarantees that your decking will be free of material defects in workmanship and materials. All of our composite deck boards come with a warranty of between 10 and 30 years depending on the product selected. The protective decking spacer strip is inserted between timber decking and the substructure when face fixing the deck boards. The disadvantage of these terrace joint holders is that the requirement per square meter is significantly higher than with freely movable models.

They enable the easier fitting of decking boards and achieve a professional looking decking installation. The BASO spacer has a distance gauge that allows you to quickly determine the level spacing between decking boards, which can be 5. Even during terrace construction, these prevent the gaps between the joints from being of different widths.The permanently installed spacers are fixed between the substructure and the decking boards when the deck is installed. Place the second plank in the desired location and place the spacer of the correct thickness between the planks. It is designed to help prevent moisture from becoming trapped between timber components by increasing air circulation. This not only creates a gap between the decking boards, but also between the substructure and the decking board, which ensures better ventilation of the terrace. Contractors assisting unloading should be aware of health and safety issues and must wear appropriate PPE.

In addition, they significantly extend the life of the decking by compensating for the board’s “walking” not only in width but also in thickness.decking balustrade component is a universal profile that is designed for use as a handrail or a base rail. After installing (screwing) the decking boards, the distance meter prevents decking from expanding, which gives the good deck stability. The handy Multi-Spacer Decking Tool makes quick work of accurately spacing Millboard Decking boards at 3, 4, 5 or 6mm gaps. These are great for decking construction as they ensure your spacing is perfect as you lay each decking board. Another important advantage of BASO is that the screws are no longer subject to shear deformation and bending loads.

With dry decking, you should keep a little more spacing in between than with wet decking, this is because the wood will warp again over time. Made from reinforced thermo-plastic with UV light and frost protection, the Protective Spacer Strip is supplied in 10m rolls which are simply rolled out along the joists and cut to length.The DECKINGTOOL takes care of these in one easy to use tool, setting the gap between the boards at 7mm. It also allows some flexibility which will reduce the risk of screws shearing as deck boards shrink and swell throughout the seasons.
