The gap pictured would be smaller in the summer.

It's one of the main reasons they fix using brackets that allow this movement. It's also why they specify leaving 5mm between end joins so each board can expand without buckling. It doesn't matter what brand this will happen.

Simple clean with mild soapy water and a good brush with broom and rinse n its brand new again. I have done many installs and only like using Trex or Millboard but it is hard to justify the money for Millboard. New Tech is an upgrade from Ekodeck but its very similar as its made kinda the same product but a much better version than Ekodeck. Best advice is to either buy a length of each around 1 mtr if possible and just lay it in the area you are looking at and see how it bends in the sun without fixings, try cutting it and see the edges after cutting if they can be sanded or the plastic burrs up, Ekodeck burrs up and edge cuts are ugly. Hi This questionis not related to the topic but about the price you getcharged. Since you install composite deck, I would like to seek your advice. If the deck you built is 30 sqm, will you charge for 30 sqm or 33 sqm? My deck builder charged me & I am told it is for the matetial that was cut & threw away. His rate is $300 so 33 x $300 = $9900 $900 extra I paid is not only for material but include installation price too for 3 sqm he threw away. Is it normal? Can he really charge for that 3 sqm? Hi, as per the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck? Thanks 0 13190 Use a product like Equisol's Vitalise to clean the deck then coat with a penetrating timber oil. It will look 10 years younger and add value to your home.
