With the development of technology and the improvement of people’s quality of life, Composite deck, as an emerging environmentally friendly material, is increasingly popular among consumers because of its advantages such as waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-aging. This article will explain the steps of Composite deck installation in detail so that you can easily complete the installation.

1. Preparation

1. Understand the performance characteristics of Composite deck and choose the appropriate floor model.

2. Prepare installation tools: hammer, screwdriver, rivet gun, cutter, ruler, pencil, etc.

3. Check whether the ground is flat, clean and dry. If there is any unevenness, the ground needs to be leveled.

4. Prepare floor accessories such as moisture-proof mats, skirtings, edge strips, etc.

2. Installation steps

1. Lay moisture-proof mats

Before installing Composite deck, lay a layer of moisture-proof mats on the ground. The function of moisture-proof mats is to prevent ground moisture from affecting the floor. Lay the moisture-proof mat flat on the ground, overlap it by 10 cm at the joints, and fix it with tape.

2. Lay the Composite deck

(1) Start laying from the corner of the room. Place the protruding groove of the first floorboard toward the wall and the groove toward the inside of the room.

(2) Insert the second floorboard into the groove of the first floorboard and tap it gently with a hammer to make it fit tightly.

(3) Follow the above method to lay the Composite deck in sequence, and make sure the gaps between the floorboards are even.

(4) During the laying process, if you encounter special situations such as doorways and pipes, you need to cut and splice according to the actual situation.

3. Install the skirting board

After the floor is laid, start installing the skirting board. The function of the skirting board is to protect the edge of the floor and make the gap between the floor and the wall more beautiful. Insert the skirting board into the protruding groove of the floor and fix it with screws.

4. Install the edge strip

At the junction of the floor and the threshold, stairs, etc., it is necessary to install the edge strip. Insert the edge strip into the convex groove of the floor and fix it with screws.

III. Precautions

1. Make sure the floor is flat, clean and dry before installation.

2. When laying moisture-proof mats, pay attention to overlapping the joints by 10 cm and fix them with tape.

3. When laying Composite deck, pay attention to the uniform gaps between the floors to avoid unevenness.

4. When installing skirting and edge strips, be careful not to damage the floor.

5. During the laying process, if there are any remaining materials, please store them properly for subsequent use.

6. After the installation is completed, please clean up the construction site in time to ensure environmental hygiene.
