Protecting the edges of your
WPC decking is essential for both aesthetics and durability. Here are several methods to protect the edges of your WPC decking:
Fascia Boards:
Fascia boards are one of the most common ways to protect and finish the edges of your WPC decking. These boards are typically made from the same WPC material as the decking boards and are designed to cover and shield the exposed edges.
Measure and cut the fascia boards to the desired length, ensuring a clean and even edge. Use screws or other fasteners recommended by the manufacturer to secure them in place.
Corner Trim:
For corners and joints, consider using corner trim pieces designed to cover and protect the exposed edges. Corner trim provides a clean and polished appearance while guarding the corners from moisture and wear.
Cut the corner trim to fit and attach it securely using the recommended fastening method.
End Caps:
Some WPC decking systems offer end caps designed specifically for covering the ends of the boards. End caps not only provide a finished look but also protect the board ends from moisture infiltration.
Attach the end caps to the board ends using an adhesive recommended by the manufacturer.
Bullnose or Rounded Edges:
Some WPC decking products are manufactured with bullnose or rounded edges, which create a softer and more finished look. These boards eliminate the need for additional edge treatments.
Sealing or Coating (if recommended):
Check with the manufacturer to see if they recommend any specific edge treatments, sealants, or coatings to protect the edges. If recommended, apply these products according to the manufacturer's instructions to seal and protect the edges.
Proper Fastening:
Ensure that any edge treatment materials, such as fascia boards or trim, are securely fastened to the substructure or the main decking boards using the recommended fasteners. Proper attachment helps maintain the structural integrity of the edge treatment.
Clean Edges:
After completing the edge details, clean any excess adhesive, dirt, or debris to maintain a clean and attractive appearance.
Regular Maintenance:
As with the main decking surface, it's essential to include the edge details in your regular maintenance routine. Clean the edges and inspect for any damage or wear, addressing any issues promptly.
By following these methods and recommendations, you can protect the edges of your WPC decking effectively, enhancing its appearance and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions and guidelines for edge protection, as they may vary depending on the brand and type of WPC decking you use.
