Installation Guidelines

Joist Spacing

Max 400 mm (16 in) center-to-center. For angled (45°) installs, reduce to 300 mm. Use stainless steel or aluminum joists recommended for California coastal and poolside applications.

Fastening System

Hidden clip system included. Leave 2 mm gaps between boards and 5 mm at ends for thermal expansion — especially important in Sacramento Valley temperature swings.

Zero Maintenance

No staining, sanding, or sealing — ever. Occasional wash with mild soap. Ideal for busy California families who want the look of hardwood without annual upkeep costs.
