Using plastic clips with stainless steel screws is a popular and balanced approach for installing Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) decking. This combination provides a good mix of durability, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness.
1. Plastic Clips
- Plastic clips secure the WPC decking boards to the subframe while maintaining a consistent gap between each board, allowing for ventilation, drainage, and expansion.
- These clips are typically made from high-density, weather-resistant plastic and are available in colors that match or blend with the decking, creating a more seamless look.
- Plastic clips are also lighter than metal, which can simplify the installation process, and they are corrosion-proof, making them a suitable choice for humid or coastal areas.
2. Stainless Steel Screws
- Stainless steel screws fasten the plastic clips to the subframe, combining the benefits of a strong hold and rust resistance.
- The use of stainless-steel screws ensures durability and a secure attachment, as stainless steel can withstand exposure to weather without corroding, even in high-moisture environments.
- These screws also have high tensile strength, ensuring that the decking boards stay firmly in place over time.
This combination of plastic clips with stainless steel screws is an excellent solution for achieving a secure, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing WPC deck installation.
