1. How to Install WPC Decking?

Our decking uses a hidden clip system, making installation simple and DIY-friendly:

  1. Install the joists first and ensure the surface is level;
  2. Fix the clips onto the joists;
  3. Click the decking boards into the clips and install them one by one;
  4. Finish with edge trimming and cutting.

No glue is needed, and no screws are visible on the surface, ensuring a clean and smooth appearance.

3. Do You Provide Installation Videos or Manuals?

Yes.

After placing an order, we can provide:

  • A detailed installation manual (PDF)
  • A complete installation video guide

The steps are clear and easy to follow, even for beginners.

4. Is a Joist System Required?

Yes, a joist system is required.

It is essential because it:

  1. Provides structural support for the decking;
  2. Allows space for thermal expansion and prevents deformation;
  3. Ensures proper ventilation and drainage, extending the lifespan.

WPC decking cannot be properly installed without a joist system.

5. Can WPC Decking Be Installed Directly on the Ground?

No, it is strongly not recommended.

Installing directly on the ground may cause:

  • Poor drainage and water accumulation;
  • Lack of ventilation, leading to mold and deformation;
  • No expansion space, resulting in warping or cracking.

The WPC decking must be installed on a joist system with proper clearance from the ground.
