Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The choice of substructure depends on the material of the planks and the subfloor. Aluminum substructures are durable, weather-resistant, and ideal for damp areas. Hardwood substructures offer a natural look and are load-bearing. Pay attention to compatibility with the planks and the load-bearing capacity of the subfloor.

On balconies, the installation height should be chosen to ensure ventilation, usually 5–10 cm. On ground level, a greater height (at least 10 cm) is required to keep out moisture and allow for good air circulation.

Terrace pads prevent direct contact between the substructure and the ground and protect against moisture. Pedestal supports raise the structure, ensure a consistent height, and ensure optimal air circulation, thus increasing its service life.

Avoid direct ground contact, use spacers or pedestals, and ensure a 2% slope for water drainage. Use hardwood or treated wood that is resistant to moisture and pests.

Use stainless steel brackets and connectors to ensure a stable connection. Screw the elements together without damaging the material and ensure precise alignment for stability.
