Installation Instructions

QuickCap™ Installation:
Your installation guide for QuickCap™ decking
If two QuickCap
TM
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
TM
Fasteners 3/4" to 2"
at each side of the splice, Figure 4. QuickCap
TM
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.

QuickCap™ 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
TM
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 in-
spected 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 prop-
erly side gapped to provide proper drainage.
