to keeps its ‘just-installed-good-looks’ is an occasional sweep with soapy water and a gentle power wash. Innity’s anti-microbial
properties also make it germ resistant and completely hygienic for the whole family.

BEFORE YOU START
The rst step in caring for your Innity deck is to ensure that it is properly installed. You are strongly urged to familiarize yourself with
the Fortress Innity Technical Guide as a solid foundation and careful attention to installation are the rst and most important steps to
creating a long lasting deck. Installation guides are easily downloadable at www.FortressDeck.com.
● If possible, try and install your deck last in the construction process. If this is not possible, your deck should be properly covered at
all times with a sheet of tarp or construction grade plastic to avoid damaging the surface.
Ensure that masonry/cement construction is set properly before ever installing the decking material. Better yet, install your deck
after all masonry/cement construction has been completed. It is important to protect decking during masonry construction. White or
hazy residue from mineral deposits (eorescence) can leach out of stone and masonry materials after water evaporates, leaving the
deposits behind. This can only be prevented with complete and secure coverage of the decking surface area during the construction
phase or installation of the decking after the masonry construction phase.
● Minerals from soils in certain arid and mountainous environments can also cause a hazing aect when deposited on the deck
surface. These deposits may be due to rain water mixing with runo from roofs, soil/dirt, pathways, etc. When water evaporates o a
deck it can leave behind a haze that can be washed away easily if tended to reasonably quickly. If this haze is left for a long period of
time it can build up and create layers, making it more dicult to clean.
A high pressure hose with a fan tip may be necessary in the cleaning and care of Fortress Innity products. Use at pressures under
1500psi and at a distance of at least 1¼” away from the surface when spraying.
