With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, outdoor wpc decking is becoming more and more popular because of its environmental protection, durability and beauty. So, what are the key points to pay attention to when installing outdoor wpc decking? This article will analyze the key steps and precautions of outdoor wpc decking installation in detail for you to make installation easier.

1. Preparation before installation

Material preparation: Purchase outdoor wpc decking that meets national standards, and check whether the quality of the floor, such as color, size, etc., meets the requirements.

Tool preparation: Prepare the tools required for installation, such as electric drills, woodworking saws, screwdrivers, rulers, ink lines, etc.

Ground treatment: Make sure the ground is flat, clean and free of debris. If the ground is uneven, leveling treatment is required.

Laying moisture-proof membrane: Lay moisture-proof membrane on the ground to prevent ground moisture from affecting wpc decking.

Measurement and planning: Measure the paving area and plan the direction and layout of floor laying.

2. Installation steps and precautions

Fix the plastic wood keel: Lay the plastic wood keel evenly on the moisture-proof membrane, with a spacing of 30 cm. Use an electric drill to drill holes in the keel, with the hole diameter slightly larger than the screw diameter, and then screw the screw into the hole to fix the keel to the ground.

Precautions:

(1) Ensure that the keel is installed firmly to avoid deformation of the floor due to loose keel in the future.

(2) The spacing of the keels should be uniform to ensure the stability of the floor.

Laying wpc decking: Lay wpc decking from one side, first fix one side of the first floor to the keel, and then insert the other side into the slot of the second floor.

Precautions:

(1) Ensure that the floor is laid in the same direction to avoid misalignment.

(2) A certain gap should be reserved between the floor and the ground to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of the floor.

(3) During the laying process, pay attention to check the flatness of the floor. If it is uneven, adjust it in time.

Install floor corner lines: Install corner lines on the edge of the floor to beautify the floor and prevent the edge of the floor from being damaged.

Notes:

(1) The corner lines should be installed firmly to prevent them from falling off in the future.

(2) The gap between the corner lines and the floor should be uniform and beautiful.

Floor gap treatment: Use floor gap strips to fill the gaps between the floor joints to prevent dust and debris from entering the gaps and act as a buffer.

Notes:

(1) The color of the gap strips should be similar to the color of the floor to maintain the overall beauty.

(2) The gap strips should be installed firmly to prevent them from falling off in the future.

III. Acceptance and maintenance after installation

Acceptance: Check whether the floor is installed firmly and flat, whether the gaps are uniform, and whether the corner lines are complete.

Maintenance: Clean the floor regularly to avoid scratching the floor with sharp objects. If the floor is found to be damaged, repair or replace it in time.

In short, during the outdoor wpc decking installation process, pay attention to the above points to ensure the quality of installation. Only by doing every detail well can your outdoor wpc decking have a longer service life and bring more good times to your life.
