Decking Installation Instructions NewTechWood Ventilation NewTechWood UltraShield CANNOT be directly installed onto a flat surface It must be installed onto a substructure so there is adequate and unobstructed air flow under the deck to prevent excessive water absorption A minimum of 6 of continuous net free area under the deck surface is required for adequate ventilation on all decking so air can circulate between adjacent members to promote drainage and drying Heat and Fire Excessive heat on the surface of NewTechWood UltraShield from external sources such as but not limited to fire or reflection of sunlight from energy efficient window products Low emissivity Low E glass can potentially harm NewTechWood UltraShield products Low E glass is designed to prevent passive heat gain within a structure and can cause unusual heat build up on exterior surfaces This extreme elevation of surface temperatures which exceeds that of normal exposure can possibly cause NewTechWood UltraShield products to melt sag warp discolor increase expansion contraction and accelerate weathering Current or potential NewTechWood UltraShield customers that have concerns about possible damage by Low E glass should contact the manufacturer of the product which contains Low E glass for a solution to reduce or eliminate the effects of reflected sunlight Fasteners When fastening UltraShield all screws that are face fastened should always be driven in at a

4. amount of expansion and contraction to be seen Therefore if the user were installing a setup like below he or she will want to lock the boards in the middle and allow for expansion and contraction to happen at the ends This will give the deck a very nice look when it is done because of zero gapping in the middle NEVER try to lock down two boards with a single locking clip or CEC clip Two boards should NEVER be installed on the same joist when butting up board ends they have to be installed on separate joists Calculate the distance of the board from the position of locking per 1 meter of decking there needs be a minimum of 2 mm gapping For example For a 3 meter board locked on one end the gapping left on the other end would need to be at least 6 mm For that same board but locked in the middle both ends will need at least 3 mm NewTechwood Framing First determine the decking span that is how far apart your joists will be The frame needs to be completely level before installing any boards Note Adequate spacing in the joists is required to keep the deck boards from bending Please review the chart on page 9 of this installation guide to see what spacing is required for your profile Decking When installing the deck the first and last board of your project will need to be nailed screwed or use a Starting accessory Every other board will use the hidden fastener for its installation Option 1 Screw from
