Working with AZEK Porch Extreme Heat Warning Excessive Construction Debris Be aware of excessive heat on the surface of AZEK products 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 AZEK products. Low-E glass is designed to prevent passive heat gain within a structure and can cause unusual heat build-up on exterior surfaces.

Working with AZEK Porch Fasteners Expansion and Contraction • Listed are several suggested fastening methods. Additional fastening methods may exist for AZEK Porch. • Minimum #7 x 2” 305 stainless steel trim head screw with #17 drill point. • When using a pneumatic flooring nailer, we suggest using barbed/serrated 2” stainless steel cleat “T” nails or “L” cleats. • When fastened properly, AZEK Porch will demonstrate minimal changes due to expansion and contraction.

Installation Instructions 1 INSTALL THE STARTING BOARD • AZEK Porch is one-sided with the grain side up for the walking surface. • Install starting board with grooved edge against the house or on the outside edge of the porch if the boards will run perpendicular to the house. • Attach the starting board by first installing fasteners down through the board at the edge nearest the groove. • Then attach at each joist by driving a fastener through the tongue at the approximate angle shown in Diagram 1.

Starting Plank Installation Instructions 2 INSTALLING THE NEXT BOARD • Install the next board by inserting the grooved edge over the exposed tongue on the starting board. It may be necessary to apply light pressure to ensure the board is engaged completely to minimize irregularity in top seam. • After board is fully engaged onto the starting board, drive fasteners through the tongue at each joist as shown in Diagram 2.
