Sweep the deck thoroughly at the beginning and end of each step in the deck preparation stage.

• Sand the entire deck surface removing loose materials,<a href="http://woodfloormanufacturer.com/wood-floor/4936.html">building materials composite flooring</a> burs, loose knots or rough sections.
Install Tuf-clad PVC flashing to the outside deck edge with 1 1/2” galvanized ring nails. You can overlap each piece of metal 1 1/2” or you can butt join them and hot air weld a PVC transition strip over the metal joint.
Determine how you plan to install or detail the vinyl at the inside edge or walls of your home or structure. It is always recommended that you run the vinyl up the wall as far as possible with the optimum being 6” to 8”.

Mix Tuf-Patch floor levelling compound (filler) according to the directions and apply to all T & G joints and surface imperfections. Create as smooth a surface as possible when applying the filler as this will determine the finished vinyl appearance. Allow the Tuf-Patch to completely dry and then using a hand scraper,outdoor tile porch floor putty knife or sander, scrape or sand smooth.

• Review the entire deck surface and ensure you have made the deck as smooth and clean as possible. IMPORTANT NOTE: Tufdek® recommends you install Tufdek®vinyl on new plywood, never on treated wood.
For best appearance layout Tufdek® vinyl to ensure the fewest possible seams. Keep in mind you are trying to install the vinyl panels with the seams facing away from the building or away from the direction of the water drainage which is usually the same. Layout your first panel at the point furthest from the wall and allow enough vinyl to hang approximately 1” over the Tuf-clad drip flashing. Unroll the vinyl and adjust to ensure it is parallel to the wall and / or deck edge. At this point you should have one vinyl panel in the exact location you want it, check to make sure it reaches or extends beyond all the required areas.<a href="http://woodfloormanufacturer.com/wood-floor-solution/6305.html">eco composite decking prices</a> Once it is glued down you will not be able to move it.
