Life’s different out here.
One step through the door and you feel it.
It’s more personal, less stressful. Away from the
TV and video games. Where talking takes the

, and neighbours are welcome to sit a while.
As comfortable for a lazy Sunday coffee as for
a crazy Saturday barbeque, more memorable
moments.
We get it. It’s why we’re a leading innovator
in composite decking - and have been for
years. Day after day, we imagine unrivalled
combinations of styles and mix-and-match
options - then bring them to life. All to help
you create a space that’s as beautiful
as it is functional - and as easy to design
as it is to care for.
The ultimate in low-maintenance living with a 25 year warranty that proves our
dedication to perfection.
High performance decking. Low maintenance
living. It’s our passion.
TimberTech decking, and accessories are all crafted with
strict attention to striking a sustainable harmony between
quality, design, processes and the environment.
Unlike traditional wood decking, TimberTech composite
products don’t require regular application of paint, sealers
or stains and, other than periodic cleaning, offer a low
maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking.

Gapping Requirements
Tools Required
TimberTech planks can be installed with standard wood working tools as
it is easily cut and shaped. When cutting XLM planks with a circular saw it is
recommended that a thin kerf 40-tooth alternate top bevel finish blade be used
to achieve the cleanest cuts. For a power mitre saw a fine finish alternate top
bevel blade is also recommended. When working with TimberTech products
be sure to wear the correct protective equipment.

Fastening Grooved Planks
Use TimberTech CONCEALoc stainless steel Hidden Fasteners. Follow the
directions in the CONCEALoc box, clips are painted brown.
•
•
•
Softwood Joist: Use Standard installation procedure for CONCEALoc.
Hardwood Joist: Pre drilling of the screws may be required to prevent screw
shear unless using the CONCEALoc gun to apply CONCEALoc fasteners.
Steel Joist: Use standard installation procedure for Black Hawk hidden
fasteners.
Fastening Solid Planks
Fasteners should be installed perpendicular to the deck surface and driven
flush; DO NOT overdrive or splitting/stretching may occur.
• Fasten 19mm from outside edge and end of each plank, using two screws
per joist including end joists.
• Use a minimum #8 x 60mm flat or bugle headed stainless steel screw (or
screws compliant with Australian Standards), driven flush with deck surface.
Pre-drilling and countersunk holes must be provided for these screws. Use
of composite decking screws may eliminate the need for pre-drilling. Test a
sample to ensure adequate performance and desired appearance.
• Steel Joist – Pilot holes for screws through the plank are to be 1mm bigger
than the screw thread, winged-tek screws are not recommended.
• DO NOT nail XLM planks.
• Boundary boards on edge are required to be fixed every 600mm.
Stair Installation
• Stair stringers are to be set at a maximum of 250mm centres.
Bush Fire Installation - XLM only
Prior to construction check with local authorities for building requirements in
bush fire prone areas.
•
•
Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 29, 19 or 12 only
Tested by Exova Warrington fire to AS1530.8
Black Hawk joist tape
Black Hawk adhesive joist tape is recommended on timber and steel joists
to prevent rubbing and create a cushion between the surfaces. Black Hawk
tape is considered best practice when installing TimberTech with pneumatic
fixing clips.
Butt joints blocking
Butt joints require a block to be added to the side of the main joist to allow
the fastener to be placed 19mm from the end of each board (or 2 CONCEALoc
clips, one per board).
Slip Resistance
TimberTech XLM offers exceptional slip resistance (W, R11, Class B).
TimberTech Reliaboard offers Y, R11.

Deckmate spacing tool is recommended to give perfect gapping.
Gap planks a 3 to 5mm side-to-side.
Allow 5mm minimum gap where deck meets adjoining structures.
End to end gapping guidelines for various temperature ranges:
Expansion and Contraction
TimberTech deck planks will experience expansion and contraction with
changes in temperature. Expansion and contraction are most significant where
extreme temperature changes occur. Fastening the deck planks according
to the gapping requirements noted in the table will accommodate for this
movement. Changes in length are most significant during the installation
process, and should be accounted for if working in extreme temperatures. For
example, if planks are cut to length during a hot afternoon and left overnight
before installing them the next morning when it is cooler they would have
contracted in length. Another example would be storing and cutting your
planks in the shade and installing them in direct sun. Chances are, you will
notice a certain amount of contraction. The best way to minimize this problem
is to fasten your planks as soon after cutting as possible.
Clearances: Ventilation is important, therefore a cavity is required between the
underside of the TimberTech deck and the surface below.
•
•
Concrete or similar - 50mm clearance
Dirt or similar - 150mm clearance
Cantilevering:
TimberTech decking can be cantilevered a maximum of 25mm.
Static Electricity: Static build-up is a naturally occurring phenomenon that
can occur with many plastic products. It could occur with TimberTech products
under the right environmental conditions.
Rubber Mats: TimberTech does not recommend the use of rubber or vinyl
products (welcome mats, planters, etc.) on XLM deck planks. A reaction can
occur that causes discolouration of the decking under the rubber/vinyl product.
This is a common caution for vinyl decking products. TimberTech recommends
unbacked natural fibre mats.
Colour and Grain Patterns: XLM deck boards are designed to mimic the
look of real wood, and like real wood, there will be a slight difference in
colour and grain pattern from board to board. This is intentional and part of
the manufacturing process, giving TimberTech decking the most realistic and
wood-like appearance possible. This variation is purely aesthetic and does not
or will not affect the performance of the product. Our deck boards are designed
to naturally weather over time. Most of the weathering process will take place
within the first year of the deck’s life.
Glue: DO NOT use glue or caulk to fasten XLM planks or to seal the joint between
two planks and any other surface. This will inhibit the natural expansion and
contraction of the planks and will impede the drainage of the deck.
Routing: TimberTech XLM SHOULD NOT be routed, aside from routing a
groove in the side of solid planks for start/stop of CONCEALoc.
Intended use: TimberTech decking is NOT intended for use as structural
members of the deck.
Cleaning: It is recommended to clean your TimberTech regularly with a
composite deck cleaner or similar to keep your deck looking good.
Please consult www.timbertech.com to obtain the full installation guidelines
and care and cleaning recommendations.
