Decking is the outdoor wood flooring. It’s perfect, resistant, elegant and refined for every external space like terraces, gardens, balconies, courtyards, covered walkways, poolside, gangways, platforms, patios, gazebos, jetty, boats, etc.
It put together the design, the warmth and the charm of the wood.
Listonies, from 18 to 22 mm thick, to make safe the foot traffic, have different borders: head and long side Tongue & Groove, Groove & Groove with hidden clips, 4 sides rounded or other typologies, if requested.
Carpet tiles, from 18 to 20 thick, are composed by parallel and put side by side elements. The surface is anti-slip, fasten by 3 transverse elements, in order to guarantee the best solidity and stability.
The WPC (Wood Plastic Composite), 20 mm thick, is composed by wooden fiber and recycled thermoplastic materials. It is innovative, non-slip, resistant to water and moisture, and mold-resistant.
It has a double-face outline and that’s why you can place it both smooth and scratched side.
Decking and WPC laying can directly take place on bases or on larch wood or aluminum joists, with screws and visible nails or hidden clips.
Decking floorings are traded with specific impregnating or oil, to prevent the discoloration process resulting from the sun exposure.
Thanks to its resistance and elegance, the Decking floor and WPC are ideal for evert external spaces, subject to atmospheric agent.

For the application of the Decking and WPC flooring you must turn to a qualified and specialized staff.
Decking and WPC flooring can be laid on every base (concrete, sand, gravel, grass) as long as it’s stable and well-levelled, and an adequate slope is expected, so water can properly flow.
The larch wood or aluminum joists can be fixed on the base or on support disks, adjustable in high, so that flooring will be well levelled and water channel can be placed under it.
To lay Decking or WPC flooring on a grass base, it’s necessary that the area is levelled, and you must extend 1 or 2 layers of woven in polyester, to avoid the growth of the grass.
Space between listonies must be 3 mm or more, to guarantee the stability and to avoid a dangerous foot traffic.

Decking flooring maintenance imposes both ordinary and extraordinary care.
For the ordinary care is advisable to clean the floor with a brush or to wash it with a high-pressure water or simply with a damp soft rag and a suitable cleanser.
After the laying, to prevent a “dry” effect on view and touch, you should use twice a year a specific impregnating, before winter and summer at least.
For the extraordinary care, you must turn to a specialized staff who will sand, smooth and varnish the floor with a specific impregnating or oil, to revive the color, shininess and look.
For routine maintenance of WPC, simply wash the flooring with water and a suitable WPC cleaner.
After installation, it is recommended to use a protective shield or a treatment specifically designed for WPC to enhance its water-repellent properties and prevent staining; this should be done at least twice a year—specifically, before the winter season and before the summer season.
