Decking - WPC terrace boards
starting from 20 $/м.кв.
available in Istanbul warehouse

WPC is a wood-polymer composite that includes finely ground wood flour, predominantly larch wood, a polymer and additives that increase the service life of the material up to 25 years.

Decking is a terrace covering. It does not mean a plastic deck board, as people often think. Decking can be made of wood-polymer composite, wood, or modular tiles.

When choosing a WPC terrace board, specify type of base, purpose, place of use.
Bases: earth, concrete base, finished wooden frame, finished metal frame, flat roof.
Purpose: private housing construction, commercial use.
Place of use: terrace, entrance group, area around the pool, rooftop deck.
Next, a profile is selected that is guaranteed to be able to withstand the required loads. Contact the TechnoWPC hotline and we will help you with the choice.

Before you buy WPC, a calculation must be made. Here is a simple example for a terrace with an area S = 135 m/sq:

Board length L = 4 meters
Board width M = 150 mm = 0.150 m
Calculation:
Number of terrace boards N = S/(L*M);
N = 135/(4*0.150) = 225 pcs
Coefficients for components have been obtained with experience.
For 1 m² of WPC decking, 18 to 26 decking clips will be required. The quantity is affected by the width of the board and the distance between the joists. For a narrow board of 140 mm with a distance between the joists of 300 mm, you will need 26 clamps. For a composite decking board with a width of 165 mm at a distance of 400 mm, 18 decking clips are sufficient.

It is recommended to entrust the installation of a terrace board to professionals. Since this is not always possible, installation instructions can be found on our website. However, there are 4 elements that must be considered when installing and designing the flooring:

• Slope - for natural runoff of moisture from the surface
• Ventilation - to prevent fungus and mold growth under decking
• Gaps - to compensate for linear expansion of the material during temperature changes
• Base - correct base with a joist span of no more than 400 mm from the center

A terrace board made of wood-polymer composite does not require constant maintenance, since the polymer in the composition coats the fibers of wood flour and protects it from moisture. Dyes and light stabilizers guarantee the preservation of the color of the material for 25 years. During the operation of the deck board, it is necessary to:
• maintain cleanliness in the space between the structural elements of the boards & panels, and ensure unhindered drainage of rain and melted snow;
• monitor the cleanliness of expansion gaps and joints;
• if mold spots start to appear on the boards, use a diluted chlorine cleaner (make sure to test on a small area first)
• in case of oil or grease stains, immediately apply degreaser. If stains remain, use a wire brush or sandpaper (depending on the selected material). Do not use solvents.
• remove minor scratches on matte surface by light cleaning with a wire brush or sandpaper (depending on the selected profile).
• WPC terrace boards do not require any special treatment. It is possible to cover with varnish, oil, or paint (it is recommended to wait 4-6 months after laying the flooring, and make sure to test on a small area beforehand).
• Terrace flooring cannot be used as a base (foundation) for other buildings/structures. It can withstand a uniformly distributed maximum load declared by the manufacturer, associated with the presence and passage of people, household furniture, and equipment. Special types of boards are available for flooring under heavy loads, or flooring for industrial premises.
