FAQ:
The following answers are in response to the most common questions that we get asked.
Is this an unnecessary additional expense?
No it is a small investment which delivers exceptional gains! How? Firstly, by incorporating DECKLOCK the decking boards can be installed quicker than the traditional method, thereby reducing the labour cost encountered during construction. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, DECKLOCK provides a permanent spacing mechanism that restricts the warping movement that can potentially occur. This means that consistent spacing will be maintained over time, not just at the time of installation.
How does DECKLOCK protect the deck sub-structure?
The installation of a deck is an expensive exercise and is therefore not one that you want to repeat regularly. There is a substantial amount of money spent below the decking boards on the sub-structure - and this is generally an area that is no longer accessible once the decking boards are installed. The DECKLOCK sits on top of the joist between the decking boards and is curved to ensure that the exposed portion of the joist is protected from any dirt and moisture resting upon the joist which may cause damage in the long run.
If I'm going to nail or screw the board to the joist, why add a permanent spacer?
Your nail or screw fixing simply fixes the decking boards to the joist - it does not maintain an even spacing between the boards after fixing as the boards will move around during the seasons and over time. The introduction of the permanent spacer between each of the boards ensures that an even gap is maintained and the deck will continue to look like it has just been installed.
