If you have questions on how to reduce this risk, contact
the manufacturer of the product which contains the Low-E
glass for suggestions on how to reduce or eliminate the
reected heat.
• Under-deck waterproong systems
Under-deck waterproong systems, properly installed,
can provide additional living or storage space. Improper
installations are those that restrict air ow and result
in buildup of heat and/or humidity which can result in
unwanted consequences.
Contact the manufacturer of the specic under-deck
waterproong system for installation instructions to
ensure required 6" (15 cm) of un-obstructived net-free
ventilation is achieved for Veranda and Fiberon decking. If
already installed, seek methods to achieve the ventilation
requirement.
• Fire Features/Fire Pits
Fire features and re pits are increasingly popular in
outdoor living environments. Fire can damage many
building products including Veranda and Fiberon decking.
Improperly installed re features and re pits can cause
damage to the surface of Veranda and Fiberon decking via
direct exposure to the ame or excessive radiated heat.
Proper caution should be taken when designing,
installing and using these features to ensure damage
does not result.
Static
Dry or windy environments may create a temporary condition
of static electricity, which will vary depending on climate and
site conditions.
In the case of excessive static buildup on an installed HDPE
capped deck, Fiberon recommends to use the following
procedure:
1. Remove loose debris from the deck surface.
2. Dilute ACL Staticide® Concentrate 1 part to 39 parts water
(1:39).
3. Spray or mop entire surface of the deck.
4. Allow to air dry - do not attempt to wipe the surface
dry as wiping will reduce the effectiveness of the anti-
static coating (*Although very safe in diluted form, ACL
Staticide® Concentrate is considered a hazardous
chemical non-diluted. DO NOT use ACL Staticide®
Concentrate non-diluted.)
Important Ladder Usage
Safety Instructions
When using a ladder on composite decking, it is mandatory
to lay down a sheet of plywood over the deck surface to
disperse the load of the ladder’s feet to nearby underlying
joists. Drill fasteners downward through the top of the
plywood sheet to keep it from slipping. Position fasteners so
they adequately protrude and rest rmly in the gaps between
the deck boards and into the joists. This will avoid leaving
holes in your decking once the plywood sheet is removed. Be
sure to always follow the ladder manufacturer’s instructions
and safety tips.
