Cutting of Decking Strips (where required)

We can do this for you, simply select the cut to size option and enter the exact sizes you require.

Our anti slip decking strips can easily be cut to size or shape with a hacksaw, however if you are planning to cut a large amount of strips this can be carried out with orbital cutting equipment with either a stone or diamond blade. Cutting should be carried out externally or where there is dust extraction/suitable ventilation and appropriate protective equipment should be worn.

Preparation of decking area / steps

Sweep clean the installation area.

Mechanical fixing of Decking Strips

When supplied pre-drilled, decking / step strips will already have holes drilled as per point 1 below. No need to countersink, the pre-drilled holes will allow our screws to self countersink, provided a good fixing is achieved.

1. Fixing is generally recommended centrally max 50mm in from each end and with a maximum distance between the remaining holes of 250mm, again centrally.
2. If using a cordless screwdriver ensure correct torque setting in order to avoid over tightening and stripping.
3. To attain a firm fit to the decking screws should be fastened consecutively either left to right or right to left.

The installer should ensure that the substrate is of sufficient quality to achieve a secure fixing.

Miscellaneous

The installation instructions make no claim to being comprehensive but should be used as a guide. Always employ safe practices. It's recommended that to first test the suitability of any fixing method on a small area before carrying out a full installation programme.

Installation, maintenance & cleaning guide

Cleaning Decking Strips

Use of a stiff brush will usually be sufficient to remove everyday dirt and debris. For more stubborn items try a mild detergent with warm water. Prior to carrying out a full cleaning programme it's advisable to first test the suitability of the detergent on a small inconspicuous area.

Pressure Wash

If conditions allow, a pressure washer on a low setting can be used to clean the Decking Strips. However, if the strips have been secured with an adhesive agent or sealed with a sealant repeated use of a pressure washer could undermine the integrity of the adhesive / sealant. Again, prior to carrying out a full cleaning programme it's advisable to first test the suitability of the pressure wash on a small inconspicuous area.

General Routine Maintenance

The security of any fixings and the integrity of the products gritted surface and GRP substrate should be checked on a regular basis. The frequency of which will depend on the nature and volume of footfall. As a guide, for high traffic areas monthly inspections would be advisable.
