5mm Decking Spacers 4 Pack

Product Information

Contractors assisting unloading should be aware of health and safety issues and must wear appropriate PPE. Even during terrace construction, these prevent the gaps between the joints from being of different widths. With dry softwood decking boards, keep a minimum distance of 10 mm, with wet decking boards we recommend keeping a minimum distance of 7-8 mm. While a 4mm gap between boards is recommended, there are always times when you need to juggle dimensions to fit a space, and with this tool every gap-width required will be professionally consistent, however large your installation. Made from reinforced thermo-plastic with UV light and frost protection, the Protective Spacer Strip is supplied in 10m rolls which are simply rolled out along the joists and cut to length.

In addition, they extend the durability of a wooden terrace due to improved structural wood protection through optimal ventilation of the planks.

It is best to always place a decking joint holder at the intersection of decking boards and substructure.

With dry decking, you should keep a little more spacing in between than with wet decking, this is because the wood will warp again over time. Tip: use the spacer again where the screws go, so you know that the board has the correct distance between them. After you have straightened the first decking board, simply lay the rest of the decking planks straight on the first plank. The permanently installed spacers are fixed between the substructure and the decking boards when the deck is installed.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
