Fixing
- Easy fit, all items preformed. Glue or screw fix, pre-drilled for easy fixing to timber and with all screws supplied
- Can be trimmed on site using a good quality abrasive disc, jigsaw or hacksaw if required
- Just lay the strip onto the wooden decking and fix using an appropriate screw
- When drilling the strip it is not necessary to countersink the hole
- Supplied pre-drilled using a number 10 drill and a number 8 screw. The larger hole size allows for any slight movement that may arise due to the long, thin shape on timber which can flex or expand. If any additional screw fixings are required, a number 10 drill and number 8 screw is recommended
If mechanical fixing is required, the following may be used as a guide:
- To timber: no.8 x 30mm zinc plated or stainless steel screws
