Installation Instructions

If two QuickCap
boards are spliced, a joining board installed at the seams will minimize
the amount of visual end-to-end gap, Figure 3. This is done by separating the end-to-end
gapping. If splices are needed and the joining board method is not used, it is recommended
to stagger splices by two feet or more and use QuickCap
Fasteners ⁄" to 2" at each side of
the splice, Figure 4. QuickCap
boards expand and contract with temperature changes.
Follow the End Gapping Chart if any splices are needed to cover the surface of your old
deck, Figure 5.

SITE PREPARATION:
Check the condition of your current deck to make sure it is sound. If any part of the substructure or the surface is showing decay, make repairs prior
to installing the QuickCap
boards. Any raised or twisted boards should be fastened down with quality 3" premium deck screws, tightened until the
deck surface is level, Figure 1. If there are any areas where two deck boards come together end to end on top of a joist, the joist should be inspected
for structural stability (an additional joist should be added if needed). If using additional screws and joists is not successful in smoothing out the deck
surface, sand down any raised edges using an abrasive sanding disk attached to an angle grinder, Figure 2. Existing decking must be properly side
gapped to provide proper drainage. QuickCap is designed as a resurfacing material for existing wood decks. QuickCap
must be installed on top of
an existing wood deck, and can not be installed over concrete, open framing, plywood, or other non-wood decking material.
