3 inch composite decking

3 inch composite decking

As a new type of environmentally friendly building material, composite decking is loved by more and more families because of its beautiful, durable, waterproof and moisture-proof features.

But did you know? The width of composite decking on the market can be very different, especially those 3-inch wide boards, which really took a lot of effort for workers to install.

Generally speaking, the standard width of composite decking is between 140mm and 200mm, which not only ensures the stability of the floor but also facilitates construction.

But 3 inches, or 76mm wide composite decking, is a bit special.

Although this narrow board can create a unique effect visually, such as making the space look more spacious, it brings considerable challenges in actual installation.

Why do you say that? First of all, narrow boards mean that more boards are needed per square meter, which means that the number of cutting and splicing will also increase.

Secondly, in order to ensure the overall effect, the splicing of each board needs to be very precise, which requires workers to have superb technical skills.

Moreover, narrow boards are more likely to be unstable, especially when the ground is uneven, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of construction.

So what should we do? Don’t worry, there are a few tips to help you avoid detours when decorating.

First, choosing an experienced construction team is the key.

They can not only complete the installation accurately and quickly, but also provide reasonable solutions when encountering problems.

Second, try to ensure the flatness of the ground.

Although this will increase some preliminary preparation work, a flat ground can greatly reduce the difficulty of subsequent installation and improve construction efficiency.

Finally, if you are pursuing special effects but are worried about the difficulty of construction, you can consider communicating with the designer to see if there are alternatives to achieve similar visual effects.

Although 3-inch wide composite decking may cost more labor during installation, as long as you prepare in advance and choose the right construction team, you can still overcome these difficulties.

After all, a warm and beautiful home requires some effort to create!
