What creates wastage in decking?
This may come as a shock to some but the average wastage when using any decking material is 15 to 20%. This can vary depending on the size of your decking project. For those who have spent a significant amount of money on their deck won’t be too pleased to hear of this. The sad truth is, they aren’t utilising the whole amount of this quality product.
Until now, the joining of two pieces of DecoDeck together required a joist (as do all other decking materials such as timber and composites). If the spacing between each joist were 600mm, it was conceivable that 500mm or 13% of each length was to be wasted. Depending on the size and configuration of the deck, there could be even more…
DECO, being the innovators that they strive to be, discovered a remarkable solution to reduce wastage – the DecoDeck joiner! This product is now available to all DecoDeck customers.
A brilliant invention
The DecoDeck Joiner is a piece of aluminium designed to join two pieces of DecoDeck anywhere, including between joists, to achieve almost 100% material utilisation. What does this mean for customers? Not only are customers using all the product paid for, but the option to fully utilise all the material is equivalent to a 15 to 20% saving.
This is a unique product to DECO and is available to purchase for a small cost when ordering your DecoDeck.
Did you know: Composites and timber decks require 450mm centre joists, whereas a DecoDeck requires 600mm centre joists, resulting in a cost saving on the subfloor.
