| Max joist centres, residential | 350 mmSources disagree. Maker’s datasheet says 400 (Urban X brochure, August 2026.); Maker’s web page says 400 (HD Urban X product page.). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one. How this was readGuide p.7 (V072026): HD Urban X 138x23x5.4 m optimal residential span 350 mm. The Aug 2026 brochure and the product page (11 Sep 2026) instead give 400 mm; the overview page gives 350. The more conservative installation-guide value is recorded. | Maker’s install guide · checked |
| Max joist centres, commercial | 300 mm How this was readGuide p.7: 300 mm commercial span. Brochure and product page list no commercial span ("NA") and the warranty page offers no standard commercial warranty. | Maker’s install guide · checked |
| Gap between boards | 5 mmSources disagree. Maker’s web page says 3 (Optional stainless steel clips (extra cost) give a 3 mm gap; the bushfire page says BAL installs typically use them.); Maker’s web page says 6 (Accessories page: the supplied plastic clips leave a 5-6 mm gap.). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one. | Maker’s install guide · checked |
| End gap rule | Minimum total end-to-end gap at every board intersection (butt joints and breaker boards) depends on board length and the air temperature when installing (guide p.8). 1 m of board needs 1.5 mm at 10 C, 1.0 mm at 20 C, 0.5 mm at 30 C and 0.2 mm at 40 C (2 m: 3.0/2.0/1.0/0.4; 3 m: 4.5/3.0/1.5/0.6; 4 m: 6.0/4.0/2.0/0.8; 5.4 m: 8.1/5.4/2.7/1.0; 5.8 m: 8.4/5.6/2.8/1.1 mm). For the 5.4 m board that is 8.1, 5.4, 2.7 and 1.0 mm at 10, 20, 30 and 40 C. Rule of thumb: warmer installation = narrower gap, colder = wider gap. How this was readTable read from the rendered guide page. The guide's rule of thumb also says "maximum 5mm" although its own table lists totals up to 8.4 mm and its worked example gives 8.1 mm. An older FAQ says "allow 2mm for every plus or minus six degrees... up to a maximum of 6mm". | Maker’s install guide · checked |
| Butt joints | Board ends land on a double joist How this was readGuide p.16: stagger butt joints and land each board end on a double joist (one joist per board end); clips on the edge of each board, 4 clips per butt joint. Breaker boards (set across the run on their own joists) are strongly recommended for deck lengths over 4 m, and anti-creep clips are required for board lengths over 4 m. | Maker’s install guide · checked |
| Minimum clearance under the boards | 300 mm How this was readGuide pp.4 and 7: at least 30 cm ground clearance beneath the deck over normal ground (soil); boards must sit on a ventilated substructure, never directly on the ground, and the deck must not be boxed in. Over concrete or hard surfaces the table gives a 3 cm minimum clearance (composite battens 57x32 mm at up to 450 mm centres). Maximum board overhang 20 mm. | Maker’s install guide · checked |

| Slip resistance (AS 4586) | P4 (wet pendulum)Sources disagree. Maker’s datasheet says P4/R11 (Urban X brochure, August 2026.); Maker’s web page says P5/R11 (Overview and comparison page.). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one. How this was readDisagreeing claims and no AS 4586 report published for this board. Product page (modified 11 Sep 2026) and FAQ: P4/R10; Aug 2026 brochure: P4/R11; overview, comparison and Merbau pages: P5/R11. The lower R-class is recorded.

| Warranty conditions | Voluntary limited product warranty (on top of Australian Consumer Law rights) for eligible Brite composite decking supplied for installation in Australia. Covers qualifying manufacturing defects that materially impair the board's intended function; ordinary fading, weathering and appearance change that does not impair function is not covered. Remedy is product-only and pro-rata: no labour, removal, disposal, freight, rectification, reinstatement, reinstallation or consequential loss. Claim promptly by email or phone with proof of purchase, installation address, range/colour/quantity, photos or video and installation details; Brite may inspect. Commercial cover is subject to the conditions of the full warranty document. HD Urban X has no standard commercial warranty (warranty page); other Brite pages show 10 or 5 years commercial, so treat those as superseded. How this was readTaken from the web summary because the full v1.4 (September 2026) PDF link is dead (404). Transferability, registration and pro-rata schedule could not be confirmed; the July 2024 T&C PDF said the warranty was for the original purchaser only (first subsequent user covered where a builder bought the product) with claims lodged within 72 hours of the defect becoming apparent. | Maker’s warranty · checked |

| Profile and capping description | Brochure: recycled plastics and wood fibres with co-extruded capping and a lightweight "semi-solid" M-Wave core; photo shows open underside channels. | Maker’s datasheet · checked |
| Composition stated in the install guide | BriteDeck composites: reclaimed timber 45% and a mix of used and virgin HDPE 40%, balance colour additives; the "ASA board" is described as cellular PVC with dual-capped ASA. How this was readGeneric statement for the whole brand; recycled share of the HDPE is not stated, so no recycledContentPct is recorded. | Maker’s install guide · checked |
| Factory named on Brite-published test reports | Nanjing Jufeng Advanced Materials Co., Ltd, Nanjing, China (brand "Jufeng"; sample "Co-extrusion WPC 138*23 Hollow").

| Overview and comparison page figures that differ from other Brite documents | Overview page (modified 25 Sep 2026): HD Urban X 138x23 x 5.4 m, spans 350 residential / 300 commercial, slip P5/R11, no BAL; HD PRO 138x23 x 5.4 m, spans shown as 400 / 400; NextGen Titanium 140 or 210 x 24 x 5.8 m, spans 350 (140) or 400 (210) residential and 300 or 350 commercial, BAL 29, slip P5/R11. | Maker’s web page · checked |
| Diagonal layout rule | If boards are laid at an angle, the furthest support joist along the board must not exceed the optimal span listed for the range (guide p.7). No separate diagonal joist-centre figure is given. | Maker’s install guide · checked |
| Coating and drilling conditions | Guide: do not paint, stain, wax, oil or varnish the boards (voids the warranty); all direct screw fixings (face-fix, anti-creep) must be pre-drilled or the board may split and the warranty may be voided. | Maker’s install guide · checked |

Facts are taken from the highest-ranked source (certificates and test reports, then install guides and datasheets, then warranties, then web pages); when sources disagree the specification says so, and safety facts take the conservative value. Every plan the designer draws from these figures is a concept plan, not for construction: the span tables behind its framing have been checked by a structural engineer, but a builder, building surveyor or certifier must check the plan before you build.
