Bamboo Decking

dassoXTR Fused Bamboo Decking comes in standard size 1x6 deck plank. Rounded 3mm on 4 sides and beveled on ends. Every plank is 6 feet long with tongue and groove end-matched on each end and the plank is reversible. You could opt to use smooth surface or the reeded surface as top. Because the decking planks are end-match with tongue and groove, you are able to join those planks to form as long a deck as possible just like interior wood flooring. Most importantly, the joins do not need to fall on the joist. The deck planks come in 2 different profile called G2 Deck Plank (xxx-DK20-G2-PP) and G1 Starter/Ending Plank (xxx-DK20-G1-PP).

The G2 Deck Plank has 2 grooves, one on each of the long side on the plank meant for attaching fastener. The gaps between rows differ base on fastener. Most top down installed fastener will leave a gap wider than 3/16”, this is because the space is necessary to allow driver to reach screwhead.

The G1 plank is meant for starter and ending planks. It has a groove on one side and flush on the other long side. The G1 plank is also for use on the stairs step. Two planks usually form a step and 2 planks also form a raiser. dassoXTR Fused Bamboo Decking is design in module to install seamlessly together.
