DesignBoard Installer Scheme


Whether using DesignBoard for the first time, or even if you’re a dab-hand at installing composite decking, it’s worth reading through our hints, tips, and FAQs section to familiarise yourself with what makes DesignBoard composite decking so unique.

Is every piece the same or is there a range of pattern variations?The base colour of the material is the same but there is a range of different patterns to provide variation to the surface finish.

Can DesignBoard be used to build furniture? e.g. a bench, bin store etc.DesignBoard can be used in many ways provided it has the benefit of support every 400mm and the 4mm gap between boards (as set out in the installation guide) is adhered to. Ideally, you would still use the clip system, but the boards can be screwed from the face or the underside if necessary. We would not advise using it as either a countertop or in the construction of any furniture which is likely to have a burner installed.

How do I cut DesignBoard?Designboard can be cut using the same cutting equipment that’s used to cut timber decking. For best results use a bench mounted drop saw

Does DesignBoard Expand?Yes, Designboard will expand in heat. Prior to installation we recommend that boards are stored in a cool/shaded area for 24-48 hours to allow the boards to be at their normal size during installation.

Is DesignBoard easy to clean?A jetwash should remove most marks and dirt. For more stubborn stains like oil and grease refer to our cleaning and maintenance guide that can be found at: www.designboard.uk.com

Download our Product Guide for further information on how to install DesignBoard, at www.designboard.uk.com.

Can I put a fire pit or fire bowl onto my DesignBoard?This depends upon the heat exposure and type of fire pit that you are intending on installing.

— Wood burning fire pit or chimineaNo, as the heat exposure is too great and there is a potential risk of embers landing onto the deck causing damage.

— Ethanol fire bowls / tablesAs these tend to have minimal heat output they should be fine providing that they are raised by a minimum of 300mm and are not constructed entirely of metal.

— Gas fire bowls / tablesAgain, these should be fine providing burners are raised a minimum of 350mm from the deck and that their construction not be made solely of metal.

We would always recommend there is a gap to the underside allowing for a good airflow to prevent a build up of heat under the burners.

Please note – we are unable to provide any guarantees of compatibility and customers should always seek advice from the manufacturer of their chosen fire pit, bowl or table.
