Essential for laying a wooden deck, board spacers provide an aesthetic finish and extend the life of your installation. This accessory for laying wooden decking boards also helps prevent natural movement of the wood and facilitates air circulation and provides effective drainage of rainwater. The plank spacers are compatible with installation on joist pedestals.
Use of board spacers for wooden decks
The installation of a wooden terrace on pedestals requires taking certain precautions in order to achieve a terrace with an aesthetic appearance while being secure and durable. It is essential to allow the flow of rainwater on the surface of the terrace, which is why the installation is carried out in such a way as to leave a small space between each wooden board of the terrace.
The plank spacers allow you to define a spacing of 4, 5, 6 or 7 mm depending on the desired finish and the constraints linked to the nature of your wood covering. This spacing guarantees good ventilation of the structure by allowing air to circulate well under it.
Using plank spacers is simple: place a few spacers between your wood planks and tighten the planks. Then, screw your wooden plank covering into the joists located below them. In a few minutes, the trick is done without requiring any effort! Due to the board spacers, you get a professional result.
