How to Install Deck-Top
Follow these detailed steps to ensure a smooth and secure Deck-Top installation that lasts for years.
- Prepare Your Deck: Make sure all boards are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. Replace any warped or damaged boards.
- Check the Spacing: Ensure there's at least a 3/16" (4.8 mm) gap between boards for proper fit and drainage. If boards are too close, they may need to be re-spaced.
- Secure the Surface: All boards should be tightly screwed into joists. Use stainless steel screws if possible for long-term hold.
- Apply the Adhesive: Use Bostik Hybri-Sil®. Apply a bead along both inner vertical lips of the Deck-Top plank and a zigzag bead underneath from end to end.
- Position and Press: Immediately place the adhesive-coated plank onto the deck board. Press firmly along the full surface to ensure a secure bond.
- Edge Finishing: Use matching PVC trim **(1.5" x 1.75" / 38 mm x 44 mm)** for exposed edges. Apply with the same adhesive as the planks.
- Cleaning: Deck-Top is stain-resistant. For regular dirt, use soap and water. For rust or tough stains, clean gently with acetone followed by water.
