Composite deck steps

With the acceleration of urbanization in my country, the construction of facilities in public places pays more and more attention to beauty, environmental protection and practicality. As a new type of environmentally friendly material, plastic wood flooring is increasingly used in outdoor floors, steps and other places because of its green and environmentally friendly, high strength and wear resistance. However, in public places with dense traffic, the durability of composite deck steps has become a key factor. This article will analyze why solid specifications are needed to install composite deck steps when there is a large flow of people, and provide detailed installation guidelines.

1. Advantages of solid specifications of composite deck steps

1. Improve strength: Solid specifications of composite deck steps have higher density and strength, can withstand greater pressure, and effectively reduce wear and damage caused by large traffic.

2. Enhance stability: Compared with hollow specifications, solid specifications of composite deck steps have a flatter bottom, which is conducive to fixing with the base layer and improving overall stability.

3. Extend service life: Solid specifications of composite deck steps perform better in anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet, anti-corrosion and other aspects, and have a longer service life.

4. Improve comfort: Solid composite deck steps have a better feel and are more comfortable to walk on, which is conducive to improving the public’s experience.

2. Practical guide for installing solid composite deck steps

1. Preparation: Before installing composite deck steps, ensure that the base is flat, clean, oil-free and water-free. If necessary, the base should be polished, cleaned and waterproofed.

2. Choose the right solid plastic flooring: Choose the right solid plastic flooring according to the width, height and use environment of the steps. Generally speaking, for steps with a width of more than 300 mm, a 25 mm thick solid plastic flooring should be selected; for steps with a width of less than 300 mm, a 20 mm thick solid plastic flooring should be selected.

3. Installation method: There are three installation methods for solid composite deck steps, namely, reserved expansion joint method, splicing method and welding method.

(1) Reserved expansion joint method: When installing composite deck steps, a certain expansion joint needs to be reserved to prevent deformation caused by temperature changes. The size of the expansion joint is generally 5-10mm and is filled with rubber pads.

(2) Splicing method: Splice the composite deck steps together and glue them with special glue. The splicing method is suitable for steps with a larger width and can improve the overall stability.

(3) Welding method: Weld the composite deck steps together to form a whole. The welding method is suitable for steps with a smaller width and can improve the overall strength.

4. Fixing and trimming: When installing composite deck steps, expansion bolts or stainless steel screws are required to fix the floor to the base layer. At the same time, ensure that the trimming is neat to avoid the edge of the step from curling or damage.

5. Laying anti-slip strips: To improve the anti-slip performance of composite deck steps, anti-slip strips can be laid on the surface. The anti-slip strips should be made of materials similar to the color of the plastic wood floor to ensure the overall appearance.

III. Summary

In public places with dense traffic, the use of solid specifications for composite deck steps can ensure better durability. Through the above analysis, we know that solid composite deck steps have the advantages of high strength, good stability and long service life. In the actual installation process, it is necessary to ensure the base treatment, choose the appropriate solid floor, install in a reasonable way and pay attention to the details such as fixing and trimming, so that composite deck steps can play the best performance in public places.
