FAQs
What if my decking gets scratched?
In the same way that wood decking materials can get scratched, the surface of composite decking can also be scratched. EVODEK® composite products are of superior scratch resistance, but not scratch proof. If scratches do occur, we recommend allowing normal wear marks to disappear gradually.
How can I prevent mold from growing on my deck?
To minimize mold on the decking, clean the deck periodically with at least twice a year . In some situations, you may need to repeat the cleaning process multiple times until you are no longer able to see any “shadows” of the spots on your deck while it is wet. You would also want to apply a mold inhibitor to retard future growth.
What is the maximum joist spacing for your decking?
Joist spacing requirements vary according to the product type you’ve chosen. You are advised to follow our Installation Instructions and local building codes.
Can your product be used in bushfire-prone areas?
EVODEK® composite material is made of wood flour and plastic. As an alternative to natural wood, it can be used wherever the natural wood is suitable. But neither wood plastic composite nor natural wood is bushfire proof.
Can I put your decking over a concrete floor?
Yes, you can put EVODEK® decking over a concrete floor with EVODEK® composite or metal joists. But do not install decking directly to an existing or solid surface. The deck design must allow adequate and unobstructed air flow under the deck, and water must be able to flow away from under the deck.
Is your decking maintenance-free?
EVODEK® decking requires far lower maintenance than wood decking, but does require some maintenance to keep it looking good throughout the years, much like washing your car. So a periodic cleaning with a jack wash and soap water is recommended, which is necessary to maintain the beauty of your deck.
Dose your decking need regular maintenance?
EVODEK® composite decking is designed for a low-maintenance experience. But to keep your deck to look great, you are advised to clean your deck at least twice a year by jack wash with mild soap and water.
Can I use salt to melt ice on my decking?
Most products with calcium chloride or rock salt can be used to melt ice and snow on EVODEK® composite decking. These products may leave a white residue which can be cleaned by brushing with mild soapy water. Care should be taken when removing snow or ice from your deck to avoid damaging the deck surface. We recommend to use plastic shovels, instead of metal or shar edged tools. Do not use ice melt with an added colorant, for the dyes can stain your composite decking. Never use sand on EVODEK® composite decking, because sand abrasion can grind into the decking and permanently damage the surface.
