INEX>DECKING is a unique engineered cementitious composite material that has been profiled to deliver a 140mm wide decking board. The 'COATINGS' section of UBIQ's website provides you with many approved options for stain products that can be applied to deliver a range of finishes. Download and read carefully the relevant document(s) for your preferred coating system.
Follow these 4 steps to achieve an attractive and long lasting
finish for your deck.
STEP 3 - FIX YOUR BOARDS AND TOUCH UP ANY CONSTRUCTION CUTS
Use a pre-drill and countersinking tool as part of your fixing process. Take care not to overdrive the screws as this may
result in some chipping of the surface. Apply a 6mm diameter bead of INEX>BOND at each joist; and for all steel substructures,
this is important to provide a cushioning effect to reduce noise of footfall.
At this stage any construction cuts or chips that expose the grey or raw part of your boards need to have the first coat
re-applied to that area prior to fixing.
STEP 4 - SUBSEQUENT COATS
These coats should be applied within 2 weeks. Under all circumstances ensure your boards are; dry, clean and dust
free. Once the INEX>DECKING boards are fixed apply the second and third coats of your coating system, both of
which should be applied with a brush. The second coat will be another coat of your selected stain. Careful application
of this coat and laying off in the direction of the boards will achieve the best results for you. We recommend that you
trial a small test area first to establish the rate of application suitable for the desired effect.
Ensure that all screw heads are sealed with these subsequent coats. INEX>DECKING may absorb moisture
and while this will not affect the structural performance of the board, it may result in a small amount of discolouration.
This discolouration will fade away as the board dries out, though sealing the heads will minimise the risk.
