Tips on Deck Installation and Durability from Trex Decking Installers

You have only one more step to the realization of your dream deck. You will spend moments of relaxation and tranquility after a full day of work, or maybe it will be the area where you can dine with your family on cool summer evenings. Or, it will be where you will gather your friends for a glass of wine and a nice chat or where your beautiful garden with ornamental plants opens to your eyes.

Regardless of the purpose for which you want to build a Trex deck, you should know how to avoid installation mistakes that could affect your joy and create problems over time.

Here are some valuable tips from talented Castle Rock composite decking installers:

1. The perpendicularity of the ends and the length of the profiles must be checked because they can be 1 to 2 cm longer than the standard length, and the cut may be partially perpendicular. This is important in a situation where several profiles are combined lengthwise.

2. The support surface on which the deck flooring materials are installed must have a slope of 1-2% to allow rainwater or the water resulting from melting snow to drain effectively.

3. A geotextile membrane must be used where deck floors are mounted on concrete slabs on a compacted ballast or sand surface. It has the role of preventing the growth of vegetation under the floor.
