The correct fastening method for decking boards influences not only their appearance but also their durability. Decking supports offer an invisible solution that combines stability and aesthetics. But how do you install them correctly?

Advantages of the plank holders:

  1. Aesthetics through invisible fastening : No disturbing screws on the surface.
  2. Adaptation to wood movements : Special slots allow the screws to follow the natural expansion of the wood, preventing cracks and deformation.
  3. Easy installation : Plank holders are quick and easy to install, even for DIY enthusiasts.

Step-by-step instructions for screed holder installation:

  1. Mark the position and screw in the plank holders : Start by marking the substructure on the back of the decking board. Screw in the plank holders offset to create a stable foundation.

  2. Consider wood moisture : Use the center slots at normal moisture levels and choose the appropriate screw position depending on the dry or wet phase to compensate for the wood's behavior. Screw wet wood on the outside and dry wood on the inside.

  3. Laying the planks : After the plank holders are installed, turn the planks over and slide them under the previous plank. Secure the new plank with a 5x30 mm screw.

  4. Special case of the first and last plank : Here the plank holders may have to be shortened and visible screwing may be necessary.

With this method, your patio will remain stable and beautiful for many years to come. Rely on plank holders for a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
