Assembly Guidelines for Decking:

  1. Set board spacing according to the current profile instructions and installation moisture condition.
  2. Seal all cut ends with end-grain wax sealer.
STABILITYReduced movement after thermal modification

Reduced tangential movement supports more consistent joints through seasonal changes.

DURABILITYProduct-specific rating

Thermal modification reduces moisture uptake and changes nutrients used by decay fungi; confirm the rating for the selected profile.
