Installing a wooden deck with elements
Usually, no tools are required to install the elements on a solid and level surface. The connection is made via the connecting adapters. Gradients can be compensated for with pedestal bearings. For detailed work – such as door exits or diagonals – the elements can of course also be cut and adapted on site.
The structure of the elements
The elements are made to measure for each project. The length is freely selectable. The width is defined by the number of screwed-on planks. The planks are screwed at a maximum distance of 50 cm onto a flat or strong substructure. The first and last substructure sits almost flush at the beginning and end of the planks.
A flat substructure is suitable for low installation heights. A strong substructure is required if height compensation has to be carried out with pedestal bearings. At the corners of the elements, there are holes in the substructures that enable connection with the connecting adapters.
The screwing of the planks onto the substructure is accessible on the underside of the elements and can be loosened and screwed again with a Torx 25.
Structure with flat installation heights
If a flat installation height is desired, choose the construction method with the flat substructure. This is 21 mm thick and provided with 5 mm thick rubber pads on the underside. The optional connecting adapters also have an installation height of 5 mm. Smaller height adjustments can be made to the terrace pads.
Higher structure with gradient compensation
The elements can be laid on pedestal bearings, which can be continuously adjusted in height. In this case, the elements must be selected in their construction with a strong substructure. In this case, the substructure has an installation height of 45 mm.
The XL pedestal bearings must be used at the points where the connecting adapters are located. The normal pedestal bearings are used at all other points.
