Installation

How are End Caps attached to Hollow Composite Decking?

To install our Decking End Caps, you will need to lightly sand the edges of both the Board and the End Cap to create sufficient friction for a secure fit.

Do Composite Fencing Panels require an expansion gap?

Cladco Composite Fencing is designed to expand and contract with changes in temperature. Therefore, if you are installing the Panels within the Posts, we advise leaving an expansion gap to allow for any movement.

Why is it necessary to leave expansion gaps between Composite Decking Boards?

Our Composite Boards consist of 60% recycled timber. Due to the natural properties of timber, the Boards expand and contract with temperature changes. Leaving appropriate expansion gaps between Boards allows for this movement, reducing the risk of warping or splitting caused by restricted space. Adequate Board spacing also facilitates cross ventilation, ensuring the longevity and stability of your Decking.

How to install a Bullnose Decking Board?

For a sophisticated and professional finish, Cladco Composite Bullnose boards are easy to install, see our guide here. Please note that Bullnose Boards are intended for use as borders around your Composite Decking area. Due to natural batch variations and the timber within the Boards, they are not designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of your Composite Decking.

 

For an enhanced aesthetic, we recommend choosing a contrasting colour to create a picture frame effect.

What is a Fascia board?
