Laying of a terrace board: Preparation of the foundation, installation of decoing, finishing, recommendations. Installation of a terrace board (Decing) from DPK Decong Technology

1. Departure of the measurer for an object with samples of materials.

2. Calculation of the cost of the order, drawing up the estimate.

3. Coordination and signing of an agreement, partial prepayment.

4. Delivery of material and fixing work.

5. Signing an act of acceptance of work performed, payment for work.

Terraced board - This is only the top of the "Puff Pie". The durable of the terrace depends on the properly prepared subsystem (base). We will analyze the types of foundations.

- This is the most reliable and advantageous type of foundation, if you have a soil at the place of the future terrace. Directly to the ground to install lags and mount the terrace is prohibited. Pour the platform is expensive and labor. In such cases, we recommend installing screw piles that are screwed into the ground to the depth of freezing (in Moscow and Mo at least 1.5 meters), and the frame is made from the profile metal pipe or using the not standard system.

- If you have a ribbon foundation, then you can make a metal strapping, or mount aluminum lags, and it should be borne in mind that the distance between the points for aluminum lags should not exceed 80 cm.

- Used on those objects where there are drops in height and is not allowed to damage the existing coating (for example, the roof of the building). The main task of adjustable supports is to align the base. Aluminum lag or notes are installed on the support. The main advantage of the music system in front of the aluminum lag is that the consumption of adjustable supports is reduced by 4 times.

Unregulated supports (or rubber pillows) and aluminum lag- Apply on an even concrete basis. We understand that the perfectly even concrete base cannot be, therefore, unregulated supports or rubber pillows must be installed under the lag. We use rubber pillows, as it is cheaper. Also rubber pillows are used to outflow water under lags and create depreciation. If you fix the lag directly to the concrete, then the water will be stated between lags, chasing and create an unpleasant smell, which also will negatively affect the service life of the material. On a concrete basis, we use aluminum lag size 35x40.

Laga from DPK.- Used only on an ideally smooth surface, in places where the terrace is protected from precipitation. For example: a closed balcony, a veranda with an ideal even base. We do not recommend Lagi from the DPK to install on rubber pillows, since with the time of lag, the DPK can resist between pillows. It is best to use aluminum lag size 35x40. In terms of cost, it is more expensive than Lag from the DPK is only 30 rubles per stranded meter, but in terms of strength and reliability exceeds several times.

When preparing the basis, the following rules must be followed:

create a slope of 1-2% for water drain from the terrace;
the step between lags should be from 25 to 40 cm. (Distance depends on the type of terrace board);
it is not allowed to fasten the lag to the base. For climbing lags, it is necessary to use stainless steel or aluminum brackets with an interval of about 1m;
when laying aluminum lags on an even base (concrete, etc.) or for metal frames, it is necessary to use rubber pillows (linings);
the base should be smooth and durable, since the service life of your terrace depends on it!

2 - Terraced flooring

7 main rules for mounting a suture terrace board of DPK:

1. Circulation- It is necessary to ensure sufficient circulation of air under the flooring, as well as prevent direct contact of the elements of the design with a soil or herbal coating. The performance of the DPK is a pledge of durability.

2. Distance between lags - the distance between the lags should be from 25 to 40 cm.

3. Rule double lags - With an end joint of the terraced boards, each edge of the terraced boards on its own lag is a separate terminal.

4.
Temperature expansion - Be sure to take into account the expansion along the length and width of all structural elements, due to the temperature drop and humidity during operation (observe the compensation gaps) of the gaps along the board length (end gaps) must be at least 1 mm on 1 mandaring board meter. That is, when laying a 3 meter long boards, the minimum gap between the two boards is 3 mm. Indents from static limiters (such as walls) at least 20 mm. Longitudinal seams are formed by kleimer.

5. Drainage - When installing the terrace, observe the slope of the surface of the flooring of 1-3% for better drainage.

6. Environment - Laying is performed at air temperature not lower than + 5ºС.

7.
Deck laying board - The maximum boards length should be not more than 3 meters. Deck laying applies only for suture. For seamless boards, deck styling is categorically prohibited!

Incorrect installation of the DPK can lead to a reduction in the service life of the terraced flooring, or to its spoilement. If you are installed on your own, we ask you to strictly follow the installation instructions. If you need help qualified professionals, leave an application on our website!

3 - Installation of fences

1. Before starting work, all components of the future fence from DPK should be placed and cut into size (pillars, bales and railings).

2. On the upper and lower railing is made marking for fastening the Balyasin clips. Clips are attached to the railing through special holes by self-drawing.

3. Balyasits are attached to the clips of the upper and lower railing, after which the railing is fastened with each other stretch marks.

4. Mounting brackets are attached to anchor bolts through special holes to the base (under a terrace board).

5. Poles are installed on the mounting brackets.

6. The skirt is mounted on the lower part of the pillar.

7. Corners for mounting the railings are mounted first to the columns, and then to the railing.

8. Remove the screed between the railings and install the covers.

Basic rules when installing fences from DPK:

use stainless steel screws;
mounting brackets can be attached only to the base of the structure, and not to the flooring;
the top covers are glued with transparent silicone;
set the fences from the DPK is recommended only at ambient temperature from + 6 to + 25 degrees.

4 - Decorative Terrace Design

Lighting

In order to make the atmosphere on the terrace truly unique, we recommend that you make beautiful lighting.

The right light on the open terrace depends on many factors: the choice of lamps, plafones, the successful location of the lamps and the presence of protection against moisture. We prepared for you useful advice:

Be sure to follow the bright lighting of the stairs at the entrance to the terrace attached to the house. You can set the LED tape under the steps or on the lower rates of fences. A more classic option will be the installation of wall and floor luminaires.
To illuminate fences, you can use lamps for pillars, LED tape under the upper (lower) railing or under the lid of the pillar.
If you have a spacious extension, you can choose a beautiful chandelier for lighting. For more modest dimensions, wall scaves are suitable, which is appropriate to buy in the number of two pieces and install on both sides of the inlet door.
The popular solution for the terrace is the installation of point lights, which can be like being a practically imperceptible source of light and become a bright accent in the interior.
Open verandas will always be affected by weather conditions. In order for pouring the rain to disable electrical appliances, it is necessary to take care of their protection.
It is necessary to organize lighting so that it is completely safe for children and animals. Wires and design details must be hidden and securely protected. It is for this reason that we advise to use LED lamps for the terrace, as they do not heat up and more secure.
We recommend installing motion sensors that react to human movements. Thus, you will save on electricity, and you will not need to constantly reach the switches.
On the terrace, which is not an extension to a private house, you can make lighting with four floor lamps placed in the corners. This is especially true if such an open veranda instead of the roof only a canopy or roof is not at all.
Beautiful lighting of plants and interior elements can be obtained by halogen lamps.
For a wide variety of cases, we advise you to purchase a portable LED lamp. Such a source of lighting should be waterproof and remote control. An indispensable electrical appliance is commemorated on the terrace in bad weather and for any events.

Gardening

To rest on the terrace brought maximum pleasure, it is important to warm up.

In the process of selection of plants for landscaping, it is important to comply with a number of rules:

plant selection should be carried out on the basis of climate features in the location zone, as well as lighting conditions;
making a choice in favor of growing plants, one should remember the necessary for their normal development in space;
for crops sitting in pots and containers, you need a drainage device;
choose plants follows from the calculation of the deadlines and the duration of their flowering so that they can replace each other, constantly decorating the terrace;
plants on the terrace are better small groups using contrasting colors;
do not overdo it, making up the terrace by plants, do not turn it into impassable jungle thickets. The main thing is comfort, so it is important that cultures do not violate it in any way, cluttering the passages;
a vertical gardening will be relevant to a small open terrace, which does not require a lot of space and at the same time an enlivent room.

Installation of a terrace board requires certain skills. Specialists of the company "State DPK" have accustomed experience in laying Decing, as evidenced by photos of finished projects. All work is carried out on the basis of engineering technologies, which serves as a guarantee of quality and durability of the structure.

When laying Deoping, we take into account all the nuances:

Engineering approach

Before starting work, our manager leaves for an object, performs measurements, helps to choose the optimal, economically advantageous way of laying, calculates the estimated consumables.

Water removal

Installation of DPK is carried out with a slope of 1-3%, providing precipitation with flooring.

Ventilation

The terrace board is laid with the provision of full air circulation.

Proper laying will provide minimal coating care. The surface of your terrace will always remain in impeccable state.

If you want to independently put Decon, we offer to use the detailed instructions for mounting the DPK board, which can be obtained directly on the site. If technical issues occur, our managers are always ready to give a free consultation.

Installation of the DPK boards and decorative fences both in private and commercial objects performs the company of the State DPK. You can call our specialists to the object for accurate measurement, calculation and receipt of consultation. In addition, our specialists will provide product samples and provide assistance in choosing a brand and type of terraced board and fences.

The deck board today is an ergonomic, aesthetically perfect material for the design of semi-open areas and recreation areas that have contact with the external environment. The company "State DPK" offers a wide range of Decing, with a prospect of carrying out installation work.

The appearance of a terrace board in the modern market of building materials made it possible to collect indoors and the base on the street, which in its characteristics will not give any known outdoor coating. With the seeming simplicity, the installation of a terraced board is not the easiest process. Although if you understand the technology of laying, understand all the nuances of the processes of processes, even a beginner can cope with it. Therefore, in the article, consider the views of this building material and its laying technology.

Terraced board, she is deck, it is Decking - this is a plank of certain sizes. They make them of two raw materials.

Array of wood

For this, various wood breeds are used: traditional and exotic. Processing of boards - two types: smooth (called plaquen), corrugated (called velvet). The dimensions of the terraced board are wide variety, where the length varies in the range of 1.5-4 m, width is 100-200 mm, the thickness is 20-30 mm.

Wooden terrace board

Wooden panels before operation are necessarily treated with antiseptics and anti-epires: the first - biososhtics, the second - fire protection. Please note that the terraced coating of the wood array must be a certain humidity: classic rocks - 12%, exotic - 15%. This indicator can be measured directly in the store using a hygrometer.

The advantages of decoping from wood can be attributed:

nature of raw material;
the ability to change the texture of the floor covering by applying varnish, paints, wax and others;
not bad stability to various types of loads: abrasibility, drums, temperature drops;
this is a frost-resistant material;
wooden strips do not slide in dry, nor in wet;
laying the terraced board is made by the proposed manufacturers of fasteners (brackets, kleimers) or conventional wood screws.

Disadvantages:

increased humidity and direct contact with water is the boobing of boards, their rotting and cracking;
we will have to constantly process protective compositions.

Polymer composite

DPK raw material is a mixture of polymer (polypropylene, polyethylene and others) with wood flour. The latter is 30% of the total. Pigments and various fillers are added to the composition.

Today, manufacturers offer two types of terraced Coverage from DPK: full and hollow. They are in strength divided into two groups: household and commercial. The first is much cheaper than the second. Color design - 40 shades, which makes it possible to choose the material in accordance with the design of the landscape design or interior of the room.

Hollow Plank DPK.

The material size is quite wide: length up to 6 m, width up to 160 mm, thickness up to 28 mm. It is necessary to understand that the modern market is filled not only by planks from responsible manufacturers. There is a lot of cheap low-quality products, so it is important to choose a material with good external data and accurate sizes.

Advantages of DPK:

presentable appearance;
a variety in the design of the invoice: smooth, aged, matte, lacquered;
100% resistance to water;
excellent bioscistance;
the surface does not slide;
withstands the load up to 500 kg / m²;
temperature operation: from -20cd to + 40s;
service life - up to 15 years;
practicality is to be cleaned by any domestic detergent.

Disadvantages:

under the action of sunlight, the coating gradually fades;
under the action of shock loads, chips and cracks can be formed;
not the easiest installation process.

Term Board Mounting Technology

Go directly to the installation of a terrace board. Like all building processes, it is divided into two main stages: preparation and laying of material with fastening to the base.

Preparation

The preparation includes the construction of a reliable and even foundation. There are several options, but more often laying the terraced board is produced on a concrete basis. It should be not only smooth and durable, but also dry. If the structure of the flooring is carried out on the ground, then in this case it is necessary to take care of the strength of the base under stacked lags. To do this, you can use concrete products: paving slabs, blocks, etc., stacked under the terrace.

Regarding the preparation of tools. For installation of a terrace board, you will need:

screwdriver
saw or electrolybiz;
kiyanka and hammer;
roulette, iron line, pencil,
building level.

Attention! If the construction of a terrace board is going outdoors, it is necessary to take care so that the concrete base has a small slope for removing atmospheric precipitation. If the assembly is made on the ground, then under the flooring, there should be several grooves with a width of 3 cm, 2 cm depth.

Project development

An important stage on which the appearance of the flooring and its reliability depends. To pay attention to:

Distance between lags: 40 cm for hollow boards, 50 cm for full-scale.
The gap between parts of the floor covering: 1-3 mm for internal use, 4 mm for outdoor.
If the styling of the terraced board is diagonally, the distance between the lags is reduced: at an angle of 45 ° in the range of 25-30 cm, at an angle of 30 ° - 15-20 cm.

Go directly to the construction of flooring on the terrace of a terrace board. Consider the installation of planks from the DPK, because this process requires certain skills and the use of special fasteners.

Montage Technology Board of DPK

Laying Lag.

As a support for the terrace board, lining lags from DPK are used. They are not supporting structures, perform the functions of leveling elements. They should not be made in concrete solution, fasten each other. Logging can be carried out in height or width. The distance between the lags is not more than 40 cm.

Fastening Lag.

Fastening the lag to the concrete base is made by metal dowels. To do this, in the lag itself, drill a hole (diameter larger than a dowel diameter by 2 mm), through it the hole and in the concrete structure. The dowel is inserted into the inside and fastens a concrete basis.

Starting brackets

From one edge of the lag, it is necessary to establish special starting brackets made of metal, which are attached to lags by self-drawing (3.5x30 mm). The bracket must perform a little outside the end of the lags so that the terrace board is accurately stood with the end in the same plane.

Board laying

It is styled so that the upper edges of the metal brackets are included in its groove. This will be fastening from the end side.

Installation clips

Different fasteners are used to connect the boards between themselves. One of the options is a plastic mounting clip. They are attached to lags with self-draws of 3.5x30 mm. Insert fasteners with one side inside the already fixed terraced board. The mount is made in such a way that the clip can slightly move in the vertical plane. At the same time, the self-pressing hat should perform on the fastening surface of the clips by 2-3 mm.

Continuation of the installation process

Next to the panel fixed to lags is set as follows. It is important to docile them so that the mounting clips are tightly entered into the groove of the second floor element.

Tightening samorezov

After laying terraced boards, all the self-tapping screws were screwed, which were screwed by mounting clips, to do before stop. Work requires accuracy.

So looks braid

If the installation of a terrace board is carried out inside the heated premises, where the moisture difference is insignificant, then the board assembly can be carried out in an uncomfortable way. For this, special plastic fasteners are used - braided. They are fixed in the groove of the material with self-draws. The location of the fastening of the bracket is the middle of the distance between the lags.

Terraced boards are attached to lags by self-drawing (3.5x30 mm) through the groove. Applying efforts during this type of work is not worth it. This can lead to cracking outdoor material. In addition, tight screwing reduces tensile strength.

Fastening self-proof

The latter is attached to the lags starting bracket.

Fastening the last board in the flooring

To create an aesthetic appearance of external contours of the flooring, special plastic plugs are used.

Decorative plugs

The plugs are installed from the end and fasten with the blows of the image. The work is simple, the main thing is not to score much.

Installation of plugs

For decorative finishes, an aluminum angle coated covered with anti-slip composition can be used.

Decorative corner

The corner is attached to the terraced coating by self-drawing, for which holes are pre-made.

Mounting corner

As you can see, the technology of laying a terrace board is easy. It should be noted that the methods of fastening the lag to the ground a lot. There is not only a direct connection through a dowel, you can use mounting corners or kleimers for this. In the photo below, one of these methods is shown.

Fastening of lags to the base with a special mounting corner

Check out the video, how to lay a wooden terrace board with special fasteners.

DPK Parquet Build Technology

The technology of assembling a terrace board is different from the installation of DPK-parquet. Because the latter is going through the designer-puzzle assembly method.

This is what a parquet board of DPK looks like.

This is what the reverse side of the parquet coating looks.

This outdoor material consists of basics and parquetin. The latter are easily disconnected from the base, it is also easily connected to it. Type of fastening - inserting spikes in the grooves.

Assembling shield

At the shield, two adjacent edges have landing ears with holes. Two other adjacent edges have round sections of spikes.

The essence of the connection of two parquet shields is that the spikes of one element must enter the installation grooves of the second. Therefore, it is important - to accurately orient the panels relative to the fasteners.

Mounting process

If you want to trim the parquet or make a cutout in the shield, you can use a conventional saw.

Pilate panel trimming

From the Parquet DPK, aesthetic outdoor base is obtained, non-slip, with excellent performance. Fix outdoor material to base is not necessary.

The result of the finish

Finishing facades

The terrace board can also be used for finishing facades. Only such a material is called a facade board. It is practically no different from the outdoor, and the technology of laying is identical. Only lags are installed vertically in the wall plane of the facade.

For fastening the front board, various fasteners are used to the crate. One of them is such a metal M-shaped product with a spike.

The first lower bar is fixed to the crate of self-draws directly along the outer plane. After that, the fastening element is installed in the end of the plank so that it is the second bent plane overlapped into the lateral plane of the shared rail.

With the help of a nail fastening element attached to the end of the front plank.

The second nail is driven into the crate.

The second board is stacked from above the first with clamping to the crate.

The top plank is drunk in the spike of the fastener. This uses a cuehen and a wooden bar. Boots must be taken closer to the locations of the frame of the frame.

This should look like a facade wall after decoration

Usually finishing in this way is the subtypes of ventilated facades. There remains space between the facing material and the wall, from which the wet pair of air, penetrating from the inner premises of the building, are output, not settled on the surface of the wooden lining. Often, the heat insulation is placed under the facade facing.

Photo review of finished flooring

So, the terraced board is easy to put it easily. Here are some photos on which it is shown where this material can be used.

Terraced flooring from larch in the decoration of a large platform

Terraced board (Dyuking) from a wood-polymer composite is a beautiful and durable flooring for the terraces, arbors, poles, playgrounds by the pool, tracks on the household plot. She is unpretentious in leaving and operating. The service life of the terrace board can reach half a century and more. But for this it is important to observe all the rules and nuances of the installation.

Basic rules for laying a terrace board

The surface on which Dyuking is stacked must be smooth, solid and durable (for example, screed, beams, plates from concrete).
It is impossible: put the lags directly into the ground. And, of course, they should not constantly be in the water.
Under the flooring need to provide stock or drainage.
The flooring should have a bias in the direction of flow at least 1%, that is, 1 cm on the trafficphone meter.
Under the flooring need to provide free air circulation - to remove moisture. This will help prevent the formation of mold and fungus.
Screws, which are used to mount Döking, should be resistant to corrosion.
At the end of the installation, the coating must be thoroughly rinsed with water under high pressure.

Tools and materials that will need to lay a terrace board:

terraced board;
support lags;
initial and intermediate brackets (beamers);
screws;
end planks;
plugs;
corners;
level;
saw;
roulette and pencil;
screwdriver;
drill.

How to put a terrace board?

To drain the terraced board is better in dry weather when the air temperature is above zero. The boards themselves are desirable to pre-unpack and give a day-two to lie down in the air in a place where they will be laid.

Each board must be consolidated on special supports - lags. This can be done in one of two ways:

perpendicular (the boards are stacked perpendicular to lagas);
diagonally (boards are installed diagonally to lags).

The process itself is simple, but has a number of nuances that need to be considered. Let us consider in detail each stage of installation.

Stage 1. Preparation of the base for installation

As the basis for laying a terraced board can be used:

solid, smooth concrete screed with a preserved rubber pillow;
concrete slabs or support beams;
adjustable screw supports;
metallic or wooden frame with a cross section of a 100x100 mm profile and a distance between a frame profile of no more than 500 mm (if lags are made of DPK).

Stage 2. Laying Lag

Lags are set at a distance of no more than 400 mm from each other. Diagonal laying distance should be cut to 300-350 mm.

It is important to comply with the compensation gap between lags and a wall or any other obstacles - at least 10 mm. Otherwise, at the temperature expansion of the board, the boards may be deformed.

Lags should be aligned with each other and be in the same horizontal plane.

Stage 3. Installation of a terrace board

Laying the board itself is performed as follows.

With the help of self-samples attach a beamer to lags. Moreover, the first caner screwed into the edge of the lag.
The terraced board is placed in such a way that it enters the canmer.
The second caner is installed on the opposite side. Installed board is fixed.
In the same way, beams are installed on all lags.

Tip: Cleamers need to be installed on all lags. Otherwise, the terraced board can be fed.

Similarly, install the other boards.

Tip: Cleamera must enter the slots of the terrace board. It provides a solid fastening, as well as the required gap between the boards.

After installing all the boards, their ends are aligned and hide with decorative plugs.
After completion, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the surface of the terrace boards with running water.

TECHNOLOGY OF STINGLE OF THE TERRED BOARD: Typical errors

In most cases, problems with terrace board, which occur during operation, are associated with errors approved during its laying. Here is some of them.

No distances between lags are not respected.
Fasteners are pulled.
There is no or incorrectly equipped with water flow.
The boards are laid without complying compensation gaps.
Wrongly equipped or missing drainage.

If you did not figure it out how to properly put a terrace board from the DPK, or we are not sure that we can cope with this work yourself, order a professional installation of coverage with specialized installation teams. Thus, the Certified Specialists "Alta-Profile" were trained from our experts and fulfill all the work in compliance with the technological standards and manufacturer's recommendations. Quality guarantees the "alta profile".

Operation of a terrace board

The duration of the service life of Dyuking primarily depends on the quality of installation. And in the second - from how it is used.

In conclusion, we give a few tips that will help extend the life of a terrace board up to 50 years and more.

Do not allow the terrace to flood more than 4 days.
Do not use metal sponges, scrapers and blades for cleaning. Better take the usual cotton fabric or microfiber.
Any defects (for example, a trail from a cigarette), remove using sandpaper.
For washing, use flow water or non-abrasive non-acidic detergents.

And stylish and solid coverage will decorate your terrace, a walkway, porch for many decades!

Advertising avenues assure that even the newcomer will cope with the decoping laying. But in reality, the installation of a terrace board is not such a simple matter, because you need to take into account the many nuances, from the features of the products used to current climatic conditions.

Terraced board or Decing is the weather-resistant deck flooring. Used for outdoor and interior floor decoration, raw walls and even ceiling. Application spheres are extensive - balconies and loggias in apartments, house areas, podiums around pools, pier, pises, water parks, etc.

Decing is made of two materials:

Array Larch, pine, ash, teak, as well as exotic rocks like Massanduba, Iroquo, Azobe, and so on. The surface of the floor covering can be smooth (plaquene) or corrugated (velveteen). The dimensions of the planks are not unified, vary in thickness from 20 to 30 mm, width from 10 to 20 cm, length from 1.5 to 4 m. Before installation, antiseptic and protective compositions are recommended: butter, wax, enamel for outdoor work or for floors With a high level of resistance to abrasion and water.

Terraced array board.

When buying a terrace board from the array, ask the seller with you to check the hygrometer of wood moisture. For classic rocks, the specified indicator should not exceed 12%, and for exotic - 16%. The terrace of not sufficiently dried Decoin will not serve and the year - the planks will begin to bent, turn out.

Table 1. Advantages and disadvantages of terraced larch and ash

pros	Minuses
Posted view in clean and processed form. It is possible to change natural color by toning, electrojugging, staining.	With direct contact with water gradually heat, swells, rotates. Mold, moss, fungi appears.
Resistance to frequent temperature drops, mechanical loads for abrasion, compression, shift, etc.	It requires constantly updated antiseptic and hydrophobic protection.
Frost resistance, and when processing with flame retardants - resistance to fire up to 30 minutes.	We are needed to control the quality and humidity of wood. For example, insufficiently dry material quickly begins to breed, and the overwhelming is distinguished by stitching, the formation of multiple or deep cracks with a point load.
High resistance coefficient of slippery slats both in its pure form and under finish oil, wax or enamel.	High price of terraced massive board - from 2500 rubles / m 2 or more.
To install a terrace board, it is allowed to use both the manufacturer of curmmers or brackets, and conventional woodless tapes, nails, napillates and other types of hardware.

DPK or Polymer Compositewhich is a mixture of wood flour (at least 30%), pigments, fillers and polymeric thermoplastic binders (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.). Machine and hollow decoping are produced in the form of elongated planks or a prefabricated design like a shield parquet - Garden DPK-Parquet. Products are available in two classes of wear resistance - household for home use (receiving territory, gazebos, balconies, jets, pedestals around the pools) and commercial for water parks, summer cafes, urban recreation areas, trade and commercial sites, and so on. The color palette is limited, not more than 40 shades. Each manufacturer's dimensional series has its own: length up to 6 m, the width is not more than 16 cm, the thickness is up to 28 mm.

Terraced DPK board.

When buying a DPK, pay attention to the planks that must be even over the entire length, without distortion, waves, bends. The quality material is characterized by a homogeneous structure on a cut, and a smooth or corrugated surface does not have burr, extraneous inclusions, dents, chips.

table 2. Advantages and disadvantages of terrace board DPK

pros	Minuses
Attractive appearance and the ability to select a surface decor - under a smooth new board or aged, lacquered or matte.	Flowing or yellowing under the influence of sunlight is possible deformation of slats in summer heat.
Does not require additional processing with protective facilities.	On the surface over time, dents are formed, chips.
Water and biostostility.	Many low-quality products on the market.
A high surface resistance coefficient sliding in a dry and moistened form.	High cost - from 1000 rubles / m 2.
High-quality products withstands load up to 500 kg / m 2.	A complex process of mounting a terraced board with their own hands. Requires a specially prepared base and a whole set of various original components.
Temperature limit - from -20 ° C to +40 ° С
For cleaning, you can use household chemicals, including abrasive-containing.
Long service life - 7-15 years.

Separately, we note that the DPK terraced board must be mounted taking into account the whole list of mandatory rules developed by manufacturers. In particular:

Note that in case of non-compliance or conscious violation of the technology, the plant has the right to refuse you to consider the claim on the quality of products, as well as from the execution of warranty obligations on the manufactured products.

Composite terraced board

For decoing laying, the next set of materials, tools and components will be required:

Laying the DPK is made in 5 stages:

Development of the project plan

Even if the object has the most simple shape or a small area, do not be lazy to order from the seller or independently draw a detailed layout diagram on the scale. It is necessary in order to correctly calculate the number of components with the following parameters:

You also need to choose a method of fixing the terraced board. If you want to get a smooth coating, then the original set of curmmers or brackets with hardware is required. However, despite the direct prohibition of the manufacturer, some stackers choose a cheaper open installation method. That is, in the boards, holes under the dowel-nails are drilled or screwed up the self-tapping screws. Undoubtedly, the coating will be fixed reliably, but due to temperature drops, the rigidly fixed boards can over time.

Preparation of the foundation

According to the requirements of manufacturers, the base floor should be dry, durable, peeled from traces of bitumen, glue, soot, soot. As well as even (with a slight bias for water flow) and frost-resistant.

The most optimal option is to lay a terraced board on a concrete base with smooth, without defects, surface. With a street laying in it, it is recommended to label the drainage small channels with a width to 30 mm wide and a depth of no more than 15 mm. On concrete you can lay lags as with supporting elements, and without them.

Installation of lag on a concrete base with a slope.

When working on the soil, you should first lay the drainage system with the appropriate protection from the germination of weeds (geotextile, rubberoid, the rupture), then the ground and form a compacted sandy-gravel or crusched "pillow" with a thickness of up to 10 cm. On the base prepared in this way can be stacked Elements - paving slabs, blocks, galvanized steel profiles or painted, adjustable PVC supports, etc. Only after that, on top of the finished base, you can mount the frame under the terrace board.

Assembly of the carcass

The reference "skeleton" is assembled from Lag DPK or aluminum profiles with a gap from vertical enclosing structures (walls, columns) at least 8 mm. When using metal components between heterogeneous elements, it is necessary to lay a rubber strip or other insulating material.

Installation of lag on the soil with a spript.

Lags are necessary to pre-decompose on the surface, check the distance between them, then drill in each hole of the hole in 50-100 cm and fasten to the base with hardware, metal corners or mounting perforated ribbon.

Laying of a terrace board

The installation of a polymer decoping must be produced in one direction, which will eliminate the original "bandaging" of the collected coating. At the same time, the ends of the lamellas should not be per frame for more than 50 mm.

The work begins on the wall, columns or from the far edge. On the frame lage, the starting clips, corners or guide are fixed. Next, they mount the first board, they are slightly bubble and fixed on the other side by a suitable mounting element - a bracket, a curmmer or terminal. The next plank is attached, boils and is also fixed from the opposite edge.

Fixation of DPK-slats with hidden fasteners.

If a garden dpk parquet is used, then everything is much easier - the kit is going as a puzzle. Look more on the video below.

Finishing coating

After the final board is installed, you need to attach the finishing profile, a corner or guide. The ends of the hollow boards are recommended to close with special decorative plugs.

After completion of the work, the surface must be thoroughly rinsed using soft detergents to remove dust, dirt, sawdust. Terraced flooring DPK is ready for operation.

In addition to the terraces, the polymer decoping is often used to finish the porch. The staircase is facing the standard composite board or special elements - steps with an integrated border-border. The latter are produced in a full-length or hollow form up to 35 cm wide, a thickness of no more than 2.4 cm and up to 4 m long.

A separate method for mounting steps from a terrace board does not exist. The principle of fixation is the same:

preparation of a rigid base of concrete or metal,
installation on a dowel-nails of the support lag in a step of 30-40 cm,
attaching the corners from the inside to the DPK-step and its fixation on the beams,
forming a frame for the riser and fastening the vertical composite board on the stairs,
decorating ends with plugs or angular profile.

If it is planned to use the standard DPK board to finish the stairs, it should be installed as it should be installed, as well as on a flat flooring - with the formation of a frame and intermediate fastening elements - cracks, brackets, and the like.

Common errors in the process

One of the best materials that can be used to finish the terraces is the board of DPK. It represents a composite, namely the combination of wood flour with a polymer, which allows it to be not reflected in the form and operational characteristics, and in something even exceed. Laying a terrace board of DPK with their own hands with details.

What is good composite material?

The appearance of the products is determined by the content in their composition of wood flour, and at the expense of polymers it is ensured by functionality. Polymer composite is largely superior to a natural tree or PVC. One of the most important features is that the lamellas do not lose their original color, the form, and the appearance is estimated as resistant to external factors, such as atmospheric phenomena. The material is also not attractive to a different kind of bugs that like a tree, and for rodents. Characteristic for products is durability, but this is not the entire list of their positive properties.

Benefits can still be attributed to:

flexibility - DPK products may be stuffed by taking various forms depending on the conditions. When heated, the physical connection between the components of the elements is broken, and when the material cools, it resumes. This characteristic allows the use of boards in order to cover the staircase steps, reliefs, and, of course, for the structure of the floor;
strength - lamellas without problems are able to withstand a load of 1000 kg per 1 m 2, all this is due to the presence of modifying additives. Positive properties are not lost even with a decrease in the air temperature within minus 50 and plus 70 degrees Celsius;
resistance to damage to various character, the formation of stains.

For many years of practicing material use, it was possible to conclude that it is easy to install and care, shows a resistance to moisture. Well, the most importantly, the products are offered in different colors, which allows you to implement any designer idea without any problems, picking up the optimal option.

As for the shortcomings, it was not without them. To speak more precisely, Decing is one, this is its cost. It is at a high level, if you compare it with conventional wooden boards, then the DPK is 4-6 times more expensive.

Laying a terrace board of DPK: What do you need for installation?

Laying a terrace board of DPK

The key to the success of the installation of a terrace board of DPK is competent training. From the consumables you will need In the process of choice, pay attention to the ratio of components, operational properties depend on this parameter. To operate on the territory of our country, taking into account the characteristics of the climate, the ratio of wood and polymer in the composition of the material is approximately 50% by 50%.

Boards always take with a margin, because some may be with a marriage spoiled during installation. You will quickly be repaired, and if necessary and replacing the item.

In the work, do not do without composite lag, they are used for the construction of the crate. Such can be used for home installation, where the load on the flooring is planned not the highest. These elements are estimated as resistant to the effects of negative external factors, for private use they are strong enough.

Lags can be used from different material, but the design of the flooring will last much longer if it is built of elements similar in the composition. The reason for this is the various indicators of temperature extensions at the tree and the composite.

Do not do without fastening elements, klyaimers are used for this purpose, and if necessary, ensure the minimum gap should use metal clips, they are made of stainless steel. If the size of the gap is not sufficient for you, it is better to give preference to plastic fasteners, so you will improve the underground ventilation of the open-end terraces. Fixing fasteners are carried out using stainless self-tapping screws. The elements that are used at the decorative decoration stage are the end layers, finishing corners.

As for the working tool, it is certainly necessary for the work. For example, for longitudinal sawing boards you will need an electric saw. Do not do without a drill, screwdriver, level, novelira, , joinery hammer with rubber head. So that the tool is convenient to use, take care of the presence of the extension cord.

Laying a terrace board of DPK: preparing for installation correctly

Installation of a terrace board

Experienced specialists recommend to make sure the surface of the material is planned to be accusable before starting work. The optimal option is transverse boards, contacting decoping elements along the entire length. It is not recommended to allow the contact of the surface of products with construction trash. If you do not have the slightest experience in such work, it is better to trust their professionals.

Especially important is the adaptation, preparation and verification of Decing. He needs to give adapt to the environment, which is happening for 1-2 days. For this, the material is pre-soldered into place of its installation. Mounting works are carried out at least together, the temperature indicator does not have to be below 0 degrees Celsius. Remember that terraced products cannot be the only supports, the base for balconies / staircase marches.

We must not forget about the need

Laying a terraced boards from the DPK providing full ventilation for a complete drying of space under the flooring. In the products of all manufacturers there are small differences in color elements. This is due to the presence of wood components.

In order for the finished coating well, try to use boards from one party. The natural process is to change the color characteristics during the first weeks. This occurs under the influence of moisture, ultraviolet, over time changes disappear.

As can be seen in the photo of stacking a terrace board of DPK, compensatory gaps are always striking, namely the longitudinal seams. They are done so that water flows quickly from the surface, and also it was convenient to care for her. This can be said that there is a small thermal compression / expansion in temperature fluctuations.

You can use one of two laying methods, it is suture and seamless. For the formation of seams, you will need klyamimers from stainless steel / clips from plastic. A closed method is relevant if the surface finishes is carried out indoors. The view of the finished flooring will be more attractive, eliminating the clogging of the inner space.

Installation of a terrace board of DPK: Main stages

The first thing is the design of the lag, their recommended length is 3 m, and the interval is 28-40 cm. On the ends need to make a small gap within 20 mm. Please note that the lags themselves are not supporting design, they must be installed on a solid base. Their corrugated side should be from below, and the groove from above, this part provides a central installation of a screw and clips. From walls, fences need to leave free space at least 10 mm. And between the lags themselves, the gap is minimum of 20 mm. Strict fixation in this case is not required.
Next, go to the immediate assembly of the terrace. To fix the screws to pre-trigge the holes below them, the drill is used to the diameter of smaller than the fastening element itself. The maximum dense, uniform fixation is ensured using the image of the image, the whole length is closed. At the joints of the elements, it is better to use support lags in two rows so that every end would have its own support. At the end of the row, where to fix the product using the clip is impossible, screws up the self-tapping screw, the nail with the side of the profile is driven. From the edge you need to retreat 2-3 mm. In conclusion of the described process, edging is made using special corners, it can also be the end strips installed around the perimeter. For fastening it is better to use selflessness.

Main mistakes that cannot be allowed

The cost of laying a terrace board of DPK cannot be called low, so if you decide to save money and make it yourself with your own hands, then you must learn some rules not to spoil the costly material, avoid the need for fast replacement.

If it is incorrectly to prepare the surface, then the perfect level of coating may not be preserved. Over time, irregularities may appear, and over time they will become more and more noticeable.
It is not recommended to use wooden lags, even if you pursue the goal to save money. If you neglect by this rule, then in a year or two you will have to spend money on dismantling the coating, the purchase of composite products, replacing the deformed terrace elements.
A serious error is also non-compliance with the distance recommended by experts between the base elements. Having strongly moving them away from each other, you contribute to an increase in the load on the finishing coating, it inevitably leads to a savory, deformation.
You still need to be able to correctly fix the fasteners. The fact is that if you do not twist it, then over time, the fastening will weaken, which will lead to loosening. It is not a positive point and too strong fixation, because the point load increases, as a result, cracks may appear in the installation phase or during operation.

Always try to comply with the installation technology, and your terrace will turn out not only beautiful, but also durable.
