| Fact | Published value | Source · checked |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Wood-plastic composite | Perma Composites web page · checked |
| Core | Solid | Perma Composites web page · checked |
| Deck board | 225 × 30 mm · 5.4 m lengths How this was readWood-grain face one side, reeded face the other. Fixed with a double fixing clip ("225mm Fixing Clip"); the edge shape itself is not described. | Perma Composites datasheet · checked |
| Weight (225 × 30) | 9.3 kg per metre · computed, not quotedSources disagree. Perma Composites web page says 5.2 (Product page (internally inconsistent: 49 kg over 5.4 m is about 9.1 kg/m).). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one. | Perma Composites datasheet · checked |
| Recycled content | 87% How this was read"Made from 87% recycled materials" (datasheet, product pages and installation guides); composition is described as recycled hardwoods and plastics. | Perma Composites datasheet · checked |
Installation
| Fact | Published value | Source · checked |
|---|---|---|
| Max joist centres, residential | 700 mmSources disagree. Perma Composites datasheet says 750 (Datasheet V7: 750 mm.); Perma Composites web page says 750 (Product page: "massive 750mm span".). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one. | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Max joist centres, commercial | 600 mm How this was readDatasheet V7 prints "600mm (3kpa)"; V12 guide says 600 mm (commercial spans based on 5 kPa) - same figure, different stated load basis. | Perma Composites datasheet · checked |
| Gap between boards | 5 mmSources disagree. Perma Composites install guide says 1.5 (Mini Gap clip (146 and 225 boards): 1.5-2 mm.). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one. How this was readV12 guide p. 4: standard gap clips give a 5-6 mm board gap; the lower figure is recorded. Mini Gap clips give 1.5-2 mm (146 and 225 only per the CX guide part numbers). | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| End gap rule | Gap per metre of board: 1.3 mm under 10 °C; 1 mm at 10 to under 20 °C; 0.6 mm at 20 to under 40 °C; 0.4 mm at 40 °C and over · Gap at each end of a 5.4 m board: 7 mm under 10 °C; 5 mm at 10 to under 20 °C; 3 mm at 20 to under 40 °C; 2 mm at 40 °C and over | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Butt joints | Board ends land on a double joist How this was readV12 guide p. 7 and CX guide p. 8: butt joins must always sit over a double joist; stagger them; breaker boards (a board laid at 90 degrees, on double joists either side) are the preferred method for larger decks; full boards for runs up to 5.4 m. | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Minimum clearance under the boards | 100 mm How this was readV12 guide p. 3 and CX guide p. 6: minimum 100 mm clearance beneath boards for airflow, and a 1-2 mm per metre fall away from adjoining structures. All perimeter edges must be supported by joists (no overhang); do not rip below 45 mm wide. (also: fall 1-2 mm per metre) | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Subframes | timber and steel How this was readScrews specified for timber and steel subframes; Perma also supplies FRP joist systems. | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Fixing: hidden clip | Double Fixing Clip (225 only; "225mm Fixing Clip" on the page) | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Fixing: hidden clip | Anti-Creep Clip (one per board) | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Fixing: hidden clip | Start/Stop Clip (first row only) | Perma Composites install guide · checked |
| Fixing: hidden clip | Mini Gap Clip DFX215 (suits 225) with Anti-Creep DFX315 for a tighter gap | Perma Composites install guide · checked |

Warranty
| Fact | Published value | Source · checked |
|---|---|---|
| Warranty, residential | 10 years How this was readConsumer warranty: 10-year warranty period from date of purchase for defects in manufacturing or materials; cover to the first purchaser, registration form required; after year 5 the payout reduces pro rata by months elapsed over 120 (clause 8). Datasheet V6 and the range page also say 10 years. Colour variation is excluded (clause 7). | Perma Composites warranty · 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.
