The truth about Composite decking outlet: gap drainage, tilted ground is the key

In recent years, Composite decking, as an emerging environmentally friendly decorative material, has been favored by more and more consumers. However, there has been controversy about the Composite decking outlet. Some people think that Composite decking needs to set up special water outlets for drainage, but in fact, this is a pseudo-concept. This article will analyze the truth about Composite decking outlet in detail for you, and introduce how to use Composite decking correctly to ensure smooth drainage.

1. Composite decking outlet is a pseudo-concept

1. Principle of Composite decking gap drainage

Composite decking will leave certain gaps during the splicing process. These gaps can not only play a role in beauty, but also effectively realize the drainage function. When rain or accumulated water falls on Composite decking, the water will be discharged along the gap, thereby ensuring the dryness of Composite decking.

2. Advantages of gap drainage

Compared with traditional cement floors, gap drainage of Composite decking has the following advantages:

(1) Beautiful: The gap drainage design makes Composite decking present a natural and harmonious visual effect.

(2) Environmental protection: Composite decking is made of environmentally friendly materials, which is conducive to protecting the ecological environment.

(3) Water resistance: Composite decking has good water resistance and is not easily affected by moisture or deformation.

II. Key to Composite decking drainage: ground tilt

Although Composite decking gaps can achieve drainage, in order to ensure the drainage effect, the ground below needs to have a certain inclination. The following are several key points of ground tilt:

1. Ground tilt

The ground tilt is generally 1%-3%, which can ensure the drainage effect without affecting the beauty of Composite decking.

2. Ground tilt direction

The ground tilt direction should be consistent with the drainage direction to avoid water accumulation.

3. Ground treatment

Before laying Composite decking, the ground should be leveled to ensure that the ground slope is uniform.

III. Precautions for Composite decking drainage

1. Choose the right Composite decking

When choosing Composite decking, you should choose products with good drainage performance. Generally speaking, factors such as the size of the gaps in Composite decking and the thickness of the floor will affect the drainage effect.

2. Pay attention to the gaps when laying Composite decking

When laying Composite decking, you should ensure that enough gaps are reserved to achieve good drainage.

3. Clean Composite decking regularly

During the use of Composite decking, dust, soil and other debris may accumulate, affecting the drainage effect. Therefore, Composite decking should be cleaned regularly to keep the drainage unobstructed.

4. Prevent water accumulation

During the rainy or humid season, you should pay attention to prevent water accumulation to avoid affecting the service life of Composite decking.

In short, Composite decking outlet is a pseudo-concept. By understanding the drainage principle of Composite decking and the key to ground inclination, we can better use Composite decking, ensure smooth drainage, and extend the service life of Composite decking. I hope this article can provide you with some help when purchasing and using Composite decking.
