Installation Guide

Calculate the distance of the board from the position of locking

per 1 meter of decking there needs be a minimum of 2 mm gapping

Board Spacing (Cont.)

For butt joint gapping the concept for UltraShield is simple when using the clip systems. The user wants to be locking the board down where it

creates the least amount of expansion and contraction to be seen.

Therefore if the user were installing a setup like below he or she will want to lock the boards in the middle and allow for expansion and

contraction to happen at the ends. This will give the deck a very nice look when it is done because of zero gapping in the middle.

NEVER try to lock down two boards with a single locking clip or CEC clip. Two boards should NEVER be installed on the

same joist, when butting up board ends they have to be installed on separate joists.

For example:

For a 3 meter board locked on one end the gapping left on the other end would need to be at least 6 mm.

For that same board but locked in the middle both ends will need at least 3 mm.
