JOISTS are as important as the deck itself. These are the foundation and structure of

the future ooring. Track joists must be properly levelled and laid out on the oor every30 cm or 40cm depending on the board’s supplied lengths.

DISPOSITION OF THE MAGNET CLIPS: Best way to position the magnet clips onthe board is to turn it upside down on top of the joists and align magnets accordingto joists spacing.

Two magnets are always placed at the beginning of the board on the grooved shortend side. From there we can continue with double magnets or zig zag. That can beseen in this guide’s “general tting illustration”.

When all magnets are correctly aligned, turn the board to its nal position and pressdown until the magnet CLICK sounds.

SPACERS: for outdoor surfaces spacers are placed between boards to allow a 4mmgap necessary for water drainage and air circulation.

BLOCKING SPACER: these items perform the same function as regular spacers withthe additional feature of blocking the boards and avoid longitudinal moves (mainly

caused by mechanical tension). Blocking spacers can be placed on the rst board ofevery row and during the installation, at intervals of each 10 running meters.

SPACERS: will have to be placed at both short ends of each board and at the middle ifthe board is 1500mm long or more

Short end connections should always be installed as shown in both illustrations. Magnetsmust be placed on the grooved short end side. First connect the tongue and groove and

press down until these are laying on top of a joist.

This installation set up is suitable since wood has an insignicant lengthwise expansion andcontraction.

SPACER & SPACER BLOCK

A spacer is necessaryas the board is longerthan 1500mm.

Spacers may also beshared between twoboards

ZIG-ZAG distribution:saves more clips anddoesn’t affect thestability of the installationdue to the force of

gravity.
