How do you clean UltraDeck

decking? UltraDeck

should be periodically cleaned with soap and water or any product made for washing composite decking. Check out

the how-to-video for cleaning any UltraDeck

decking and railing products on the Midwest Manufacturing website.

Can color differences occur in UltraDeck

products? UltraDeck

does contain real wood bers, and like real wood, color differences may occur. When this does occur

deck boards should be distributed in a way that creates an appealing, natural looking distribution of boards.

Can I paint or stain my UltraDeck

? Painting or staining is not required for UltraDeck

products to maintain their look. However, if you prefer to stain your deck, the

brushed side of the UltraDeck

Natural boards may be stained with a good-quality, composite deck stain after one year of adequate weathering. If a composite deck stain

is used, always follow the stain manufacturers recommendations. Keep in mind that staining decking is not a one time application; this will add maintenance to your low

maintenance composite decking materials.

Can I put a hot tub on UltraDeck

? The substructure of a deck determines if it can support a hot tub. Since UltraDeck

is not a load-bearing product, the joists of the

structure should be used as a support. Any load bearing pillars or legs should be placed directly above a deck joist or sister joist in this application.

Can UltraDeck

be placed over a solid surface? UltraDeck® decking boards can only be installed over a solid surface when using a sleeper system to buffer

between the solid surface and the decking. Water must be able to ow through and away from the deck while maintaining an adequate airow to the underside of the

boards. If updating the look of an existing deck is the goal, Quick Cap™ by UltraDeck

is a great and affordable product designed to be installed directly on top of an

existing deck in good condition.

Can UltraDeck

be used in docks and waterfront decks? UltraDeck® products have been used in many of these applications. As long as installation instructions are

followed, UltraDeck

works well and is aesthetically pleasing in all types of waterfront applications.

Can ice melting products be used on UltraDeck

products? Yes, non-corrosive and non-dyed varieties should be selected for use on UltraDeck

products. Once the ice

melting product has melted unwanted ice, the remaining solids should be swept away. As with any surface, prolonged exposure to ice melting products can lead to a

residue appearing on the decking. Once warm weather permits, wash the deck of residue left by melted ice and snow.

Where are UltraDeck

products manufactured? All UltraDeck® products are proudly made in the USA!
