1 8 TIMBER DECK BOARDS Timber Deck Boards WHY CHOOSE Q-DECK UC3 - treated to Use Class 3 UC4 - treated to Use Class 4 All are manufactured from slow grown and carefully selected softwood. CAMBRIDGE UC3 20.5mm x 95mm (finished size after machining). This deck board can be used smooth or reeded profile uppermost. Being the thinnest in the range it is the most economical per square metre but please note you need to use more supporting joists - see table on page 61. CANTERBURY 2 UC3 27mm x 144mm (finished size after machining). This deck board can be used smooth or grooved side uppermost. Being one of the 2 wider profiles means using fewer deck screws per area. Versatile by design - accepts 2 Q-Grip Strips. See page 9. WINCHESTER UC3 27mm x 144mm (finished size after machining). This deck board can be used grooved or ribbed side uppermost. Having a proud profile can marginally improve grip characteristics. YORK 2 UC3 33mm x 120mm (finished size after machining). This deck board can be used grooved or smooth side uppermost.

Due to the awareness and success of Q-Grip decking products we have over the years been asked to consider the manufacture of special/non standard slip resistant decking boards. For sizeable deck projects we can design and produce bespoke Q-Grip slip resistant decking products. Please consult your Q-Deck retailer who will pass the enquiry onto Hoppings Softwood Products for consideration. Bespoke Q-Grip deckboards allow designers to choose the number, position and colour of Q-Grip strips for a particular end use. Different types of timber, such as certified hardwood can also be considered. Below are descriptions of several examples of bespoke Q-Grip slip resistant deckboards, one of which has been used on a bridge that is to become a major London attraction in For more information please visit: BESPOKE Q-GRIP LYPTUS HARDWOOD DECKING UC3 20mm x 90mm (finished size after machining). BESPOKE Q-GRIP GARAPA HARDWOOD DECKING UC3 19mm x 140mm (finished size after machining). BESPOKE Q-GRIP HEAVY DUTY STYLE UC3 44mm x 144mm (finished size after machining).

5 1 2 TIMBER DECK BOARDS Hardwood Deck Boards Q-DECK LYPTUS reversible hardwood decking - 20 x 90mm (finished size after machining). Smooth side. Reeded/Ribbed side. Q-Deck Lyptus hardwood decking is made from cultivated eucalyptus hardwood trees, harvested in less than twenty years, offering unrivalled sustainability. Cherry wood appearance Darkens to rich walnut-like shades when oiled or wet Durable Strong Tough Kiln dried Sustainable PEFC certified hardwood From sustainable plantations in South America.

6 TIMBER DECK BOARDS Design and Construction Advice 1 3 Fit Q-Deck Lyptus over 400mm joists centres. Allow 8mm gaps between boards when fitting. Being kiln dried hardwood means you have to allow for some expansion of the boards in the wetter seasons. Like many naturally durable timber species, Q-Deck Lyptus is susceptible to staining in contact with iron and moisture. (See page 57 for further information). When fixing boards, it is advisable to pre-drill pilot holes with a coated steel drill bit to reduce the chance of the deck screws splitting the timber, especially near the ends of boards. Only use stainless steel deck screws to fix boards. Oiling Q-Deck Lyptus with a penetrating deck oil will enhance and darken its appearance and minimise movement due to reduced moisture absorption. Clean and re-oil Q-Deck Lyptus annually to rejuvenate its look. For more information visit Carpenters Mate colour coded stainless steel deck screws.

7 1 4 COMPOSITE DECK BOARDS Q-Deck R Recycled Composite Decking A hollow profile decking system, the core of Q-Deck R Recycled Composite Decking is made from rigid PVC which can be up to 95% recycled. This is not to be confused with post consumer waste, such as packaging, but off cuts which have been recycled from manufacturers of window frames, for example. The top of the profile has been capped with a wood polymer composite PVC, specifically designed for long term outdoor weathering. This process is known as co-extrusion and is considered by many to be the pinnacle in extrusion technology, due to its strength and impact resistance. Q-Deck R is also very easy to maintain as it is impervious and therefore requires only the occasional wash down with soapy water to maintain its appearance. 4800mm lengths in Chocolate Lite are available from stock and suitable for most domestic applications. All other lengths and colours are available to order. Heavy duty (HD) is also available to order and is suited for use on heavy domestic/commercial applications where a greater degree of impact resistance is required. Please consult your Q-Deck retailer who will pass your request onto us. For more information you may contact us on or visit By combining wood and PVC, Q-Deck R keeps the traditional timber decking values and reduces the need for maintenance. Great long-term outdoor performance, 25 year warranty (see page 59). Impervious and thus: Low maintenance and easy to clean, minimising the chance of slipping. It does not warp, split or splinter removing the need for chemical based treatments. Resistant to insect and fungal attack. Made from Class 1 fire rated materials. PVC is a well researched and versatile material which is 100% recyclable. Up to 95% material used in Q-Deck R is made from recycled PVC. The softwood wood fibre in Q-Deck R is from European waste production. 30 x 236 x 3600/4800mm. Q-Deck R Vanilla Lite. HD & Lite to order only 30 x 236 x 3600/4800mm. Q-Deck R Cappuccino Lite.

17 2 4 CLAD QUALITY TIMBER CLADDING BMT-PEFC/ TM Q-CLAD TIMBER CLADDING Pre-painted Exterior UC3 - treated to Use Class 3 Timber Cladding Q-Clad pre-painted exterior timber cladding products can be used in most vertical exterior cladding situations. They are designed to save time and provide a high quality painted finish that retains a natural grain finish only timber can provide. The products are essentially designed to be over-painted but this is your choice and not a requirement of the warranty. We would recommend overpainting to hide the heads of fixings or any minor damage that may be incurred during fitting. The white product is designed for over-painting with the colour of your choice. The timber used to make Q-Clad timber cladding is slow grown Scandinavian whitewood (Picea Abies). It is kiln dried to a specific moisture content suitable for external cladding use and preservative treated to Use Class 3.1 providing a 10 year warranty against fungal decay and insect attack (the warranty does not apply to the life of the paint coating). Factory applied paint provides the best possible paint finish for timber. We strive to provide conditions for the best possible paint adhesion. The paint is a waterborne microporous system by Teknos, a well renowned Finnish commercial paint manufacturer. The more coats applied to the cladding means the greater paint build and the greater the build the better the finish and resistance to weathering. For over-painting we recommend the use of Bedec Barn Paints by Bedec Ltd or Dulux Weathershield waterborne microporous system. Kiln dried quality Scandinavian whitewood. Q-Clad claddings are supplied PEFC certified as standard. 10 year warranty (see page 59 for further details). Fine sawn finish proves great paint adhesion and great look. Factory applied paint soon after timber processing provides best possible paint performance. Rebated version provides quick and accurate fitting. Two coat systems in black & white. Please note the Weather Boarding in these photographs have been applied with a second coat of finish.

Stainless steel annular ring shank cladding nail by Simpson Strong-Tie. Fitting Q-Clad For more information about fitting Q-Clad timber cladding please visit: But it really is as simple as this: Q-Clad is face fixed. Ideally use stainless steel annular ring shank nails or screws, taking care not to dent the painted surface or drive the fixing below the outer surface. Fill or caulk gaps for a neat finish. To create your own look and improve paint performance, over-paint with the colour of your choice.
