Installation

FactPublished valueSource · checked
Max joist centres, residential
450 mmSources disagree. Maker’s install guide says 500 (Installation guide span table (Eurocode approach, 2 kPa residential): 500 mm.). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one.

Max joist centres, commercial
450 mm
How this was read

Installation guide span table (Eurocode approach, 4 kPa commercial, serviceability): 450 mm. Same table: 500 mm residential (2 kPa), 400 mm EN 15534, 508 mm US approach.

Maker’s install guide · checked
Max joist centres, boards laid diagonally
323 mm
How this was read

Installation guide table: 450 mm joist spacing reduces to 396 mm at 30 degrees and 323 mm at 45 degrees (formula span x cos(angle); exactly 450 mm gives about 318 mm).

Maker’s install guide · checked
Gap between boards
6 mmSources disagree. Maker’s web page says 5 (AU FAQ: the clips create a standard 5 mm gap.). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one.
Maker’s datasheet · checked
End gap rule
End/expansion gap per board = board length (m) x coefficient x temperature change from installation temperature to expected board temperature (site extremes plus a sun buffer); use a lookup table in the guide; ideal gap at maximum contraction about 6 mm; use breaker boards where boards run end to end; max overhang past a support 20 mm.
Maker’s install guide · checked
Butt joints
Board ends land on a double joist
How this was read

Guide: use double joists at all butt joins so both board edges are fully supported; use noggins between joists where breaker boards are used.

Maker’s install guide · checked
Minimum clearance under the boards
38 mm
How this was read

Guide: minimum 38 mm clearance between underside of deck boards and the substrate, plus at least 50% ventilation/airflow in confined or low-clearance areas. Check local building codes for any stricter requirement.

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.
