Fava Amargosa Decking Board: care
It is recommended to apply WOCA natural colorless oil once a year (in this case, the board will turn slightly gray from UV) or WOCA pigmented oil to preserve and emphasize the color of the wood.
Installation
It is recommended to double the lags at the front and back of the structure, and the following gaps between the lags are 35 – 40 cm to control the curling of the ends of the boards. Doubling the lags is also mandatory at the joint lines of the boards. For fastening, you can use A4 direct fasteners through the top of the board, invisible stainless steel invisible fasteners such as CAMO or Fastshifter or special invisible fastening from below. The recommended gap between the boards is 7 mm ( a spacer is used).
It is recommended to pre-drill screw holes to prevent splitting and cracking. Use only stainless steel screws or fasteners . Avoid contact with corrosive metal objects, which can cause difficult-to-remove blue-black stains on the wood.
