What is the significance of using HDPE to make Fiberon decking?

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) provides superior physical and mechanical performance as compared to mixed density resins. HDPE resins are typically found in more rigid products like drinking cups and food packaging. The use of HDPE results in a decking board that is stiffer, more durable and much harder than other decks made with inferior grades of plastic.

What makes Fiberon decking and railing safe for my home?

Fiberon products are urea formaldehyde-free and manufactured without toxic chemicals. Products installed according to our manufacturer's instructions and local building codes provide sturdy decking and surrounds that do not splinter, crack or decay, protecting workers and users from potential injuries.

Do Fiberon products require water sealing?

No. Fiberon products require only periodic cleaning with soap and water. Deck sealants are not required or recommended.

How do I initiate a warranty claim?

Fiberon decking and railing is protected by industry-leading warranties. If you ever need to initiate a warranty claim, please follow these simple steps:
Complete this form and have ready the following documentation: Proof(s) of purchase, detailing lengths and quantities, from the retailer where the material was purchased. Please note: We CANNOT accept a contractor bill/invoice or credit card statement as proof of purchase.

Detailed photos of the material in question, including ones that show how the material was installed. Also, please include at least one photo taken from a distance that shows the entire deck project from the ground level up.

Your claim will be evaluated upon receipt of all the above requested information. Keep in mind that we may request additional information and/or photographs at a later date.

How do Fiberon products produce less waste during installation?

Fiberon products provide unique features that help contractors reduce waste by up to 15 percent per job. Grooved and square edge boards come in a variety of lengths so contractors will have to cut fewer boards to fit, creating less scrap. Boards that are reversible have usable surfaces on both sides. This reduces the number of cuts needed, thereby eliminating waste.

What is the significance of using HDPE to make Fiberon decking?

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) provides superior physical and mechanical performance as compared to mixed density resins. HDPE resins are typically found in more rigid products like drinking cups and food packaging. The use of HDPE results in a decking board that is stiffer, more durable and much harder than other decks made with inferior grades of plastic.

What makes one Fiberon deck board different from the others?

We organize our decking lines into Good/Better/Best categories. Every Fiberon deck board offers lasting durability, easy maintenance, and a great warranty. The big differences come down to the aesthetics (the color, streaking, and grain patterns); the cap layer (the protective cover that provides stain and fade resistance, among other things); and the price. Visit the comparison guide to learn about the differences between each line.

What does the term "multi-chromatic" mean?

Multi-chromatic is a term used to describe the varied light and dark streaking on sometimes found on composite decking. By adding different colors at precise moments during the manufacturing process, we can create a more nuanced color palette on a single board. Fiberon products are developed with a proprietary process that injects more vibrant hues into the board to create the rich, natural color variation found in real wood such as cedar, redwood, and ipe.

How do I remove the label adhesive from my Fiberon deck boards?

When you remove the labels that come standard on our deck boards, there may be some adhesive left behind. We recommend WD40, denatured alcohol or PVC pipe cleaning liquid as the most effective means of removing this adhesive. Traditional deck cleaner or power washing may not remove the adhesive completely.

I accidentally chipped a piece of my deck board. Is there a way to repair it?

While Fiberon decking is resilient, some outside sources can damage it. Certain minor issues can be fixed with a brass bristle brush or heat gun. Or, with our reversible Concordia Decking, you may opt to remove the chipped board, flip it over, and re-install it.

If you’re not sure what the best course of action is for your particular situation, we recommend contacting our Technical Services staff via email.

What types of welcome or grill mats are recommended for PVC and PE composite decking?

We recommend colorfast woven mats or polypropylene mats on PVC and PE Composite Decking. Avoid the use of rubber, latex or vinyl products on PVC or PE Composite Decking, as a reaction could occur resulting in discoloration under the rubber, latex or vinyl product.

What can I use to melt ice and snow on my deck without damaging it?

The best thing for removing ice and snow is a calcium chloride-based “ice-melt” or rock salt. If you’re unsure about what type of ice-melt you’re looking for, search for a product that has the phrases, “safe for concrete”, “safe for flagstone”, and “will not kill grass” in its description. Do not use ice melt with an added colorant. The dyes can stain your composite decking. Never use sand on Fiberon Decking. Sand abrasion can grind into the decking and permanently damage the surface.

Do Fiberon deck boards meet California fire code requirements for WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) zones?

Fiberon offers both PVC and PE composite decking that has been tested and approved for use in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) zones. For more information about each decking line’s testing and ratings, please see our Fire-Rated Decking Guide.

Can I power wash Fiberon decking products?

Skilled professionals may use a pressure washer with wide fan tips, at low pressures under 3,000 psi and at safe distances, 12" above deck. In the wrong hands, your composite deck could be damaged. Exercise extreme caution. Improper use could lead to damage of the surface and void your warranty coverage.

Will heat from cooking grills or fire pits harm Fiberon decking?

Fire features and fire pits are popular in outdoor living environments. Fire can damage many building products, including Fiberon decking. Improperly installed fire features and fire pits can cause damage to the surface of Fiberon decking via direct exposure to the flame or excessive radiated heat. Proper caution should be taken when designing, installing and using these features to ensure damage does not result.

What if my decking gets scratched?

In the same way that wood decking materials can get marred or gouged, the surface of composite decking can also be scratched. If scratches do occur, we recommend allowing normal wear marks to disappear gradually.

Will salt water hurt Fiberon products?

Salt water splash has not been found to be detrimental.

Is Fiberon decking slippery when wet?

Slip resistance testing under ASTM methods conducted by Fiberon on capped decking products met or exceeded the recommendations of OSHA. An average of both dry and wet conditions was used in the testing evaluation and resulted in Coefficient of Friction (COF) averages of .50 or higher. All capped decking products manufactured by Fiberon have a micro-texture pattern in the surface embossing to increase slip resistance. Fiberon Paramount Decking has a high slip resistance when tested according to ASTM F 1679 with a dry/wet rating of .85/.82.

Although there are specified ASTM methods of measuring slip resistance, there is currently no building code requirement for minimum slip resistance. Methods used to test the relationship of the foot to the surface material measure the slip resistance to lateral movement caused by contact between two surfaces. Slip-resistance tests that are correctly performed under different consensus standards may produce different results. Variables that affect slip resistance include, shoe tread, stride, speed of stride, debris on surface, amount of moisture present and weight.

What’s the difference between the Good Life Weekender Collection and Escapes Collection?

The Good Life Weekender Collection resembles traditional painted deck boards. The colors are mono-chromatic, solid shades. The Good Life Escapes Collection features streaks of color, giving the boards a look that mimics tropical hardwoods. All colors have a protective outer layer on three sides and solid composite core.

What makes Good Life Decking different from your other decking lines?

Good Life Decking has a scalloped bottom. All our other deck boards have a flat bottom. The scalloped design requires less decking material. Consequently, the boards are priced comparably to pressure-treated lumber – making this a smart choice when budget is a top consideration. Like our other decking lines, Good Life is available in multi-chromatic and solid colors. There’s a durable cap layer for stain and fade resistance, and solid composite construction to prevent splintering, cracking, insect infestation, and decay.

How do I replace a deck board?

Steps to replace a deck board may differ depending on the fastening method used on the rest of the decking. Please refer to full instructions for additional diagrams and information.

PE Composite Decking Installation Instructions

PVC Decking Installation Instructions

Can Fiberon decking be installed over existing joists and framing?

Yes, Fiberon Decking can be installed over an existing substructure if the following conditions are met:

• The existing framework must be free of any damage or decay; i.e., in good, workable condition (consider having the space assessed by a licensed deck inspector)
• The joists must be spaced correctly
• There must be adequate cross ventilation and unobstructed airflow under 50% of the deck. Allow a minimum of 1.5 inches (4 cm) between bottom of joist and the ground. Water must be able to flow away from under the deck. Improve drainage or grade flat areas where standing water may gather, and do not install decking directly to an existing or solid surface.

Can Fiberon products be used for any part of the decking substructure, frame or joists?

Fiberon composite decking has many outstanding qualities; however, it is simply too flexible for use as a structural component of a deck. When installing Fiberon decking, please follow all installation guidelines and local building codes.

How much ventilation is required under a deck?

It is very important that there be adequate and unobstructed air flow under the deck to prevent excessive water absorption. Improve drainage or grade flat areas where standing water may gather. For decks with limited ventilation, six inches of clear ventilation is required.

Can I put Fiberon decking over a concrete patio?

Yes, you can put Fiberon decking over a concrete patio in two ways. One is a sleeper system that allows the joists to be installed directly on a solid sub-structure. For non-sleeper applications, make sure there is adequate ventilation and a minimum of 1.4” (4 cm) between the joists and the ground. Please refer to full instructions for additional diagrams and information.

PE Composite Installation Instructions

PVC Installation Instructions

Can I install Fiberon decking with another manufacturer’s hidden deck fasteners?

Only Fiberon hidden fasteners are recommended for use when installing Fiberon decking. (Note: hidden fasteners will only work with grooved edge boards, not square end boards.) Using another manufacturer’s product will void your warranty and may result in an unsatisfactory installation. Trex Universal Clips, for example, do not hold the boards securely during thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature swings. Consequently, you could experience significant end-gapping issues. Always read and follow Fiberon decking installation instructions to ensure correct installation and keep your warranty coverage intact.

What is picture-framing on a deck?

“Picture-framing” refers to putting a border around the edge of a deck or porch. On a composite deck or porch, picture frames are constructed using square-edge boards and mitered corners to ensure a clean, finished look.
Among the reasons to consider a picture frame:

• It heightens visual interest. Most contractors will use one color for the deck’s interior and then a contrasting shade for the picture frame. This enhances the custom look of the space and creates a border that really pops.
• It creates a polished look. Framing with a square-edge board will cover the exposed ends of interior boards as well as hide the edge on grooved decking that is used with hidden fastening systems.
• It highlights deck stairs and edges, visually reminding guests to watch their footing. That’s a smart, easy way to enhance safety on your space. One thing to consider: Darker picture frames are easier to see during the day; however, lighter picture frames are often easier to discern in the evening – especially if you don’t have riser lights on stairs.
• Picture-framing is also effective for defining specific zones on your deck, such as the dining area, as well as highlighting special features like a fire pit.

One final tip: Be sure that the width of the picture frame is in correct proportion to the size of the overall deck. If you’re working with a large space, you may want to create a wider, two-board-width picture frame. If the deck is smaller, stick to one board width.

What are fascia and riser boards and how do I install them?

• Fascia: Install screws at a maximum 12-inch interval, with three screws across the face at each interval.
• Risers: Install screws at a maximum of 12-inch interval, with two screws across the face at each interval.
• In addition, when installing PVC fascia, apply a zigzag bead of high-quality exterior adhesive to the entire length of the back (the smooth side). Be sure the adhesive is applied within 2 inches of the edges and ends.
• Do not over-tighten screws. Buckling or cracking could result.
• Do not install screws within 1.5 inches of board end or within 1 inch of board side as immediate or eventual cracking could result.
• When installing in temperatures of 50°F (10°C) of higher, install with 1/8 inch (3mm) spacing between the edges and ends.
• For temperatures below 50°F (10°C), install with 3/16 inch (5mm) spacing between edges and ends.

How do I clean Fiberon decking?

In most cases, you can simply clean Fiberon decking with soap and water or a mild cleaner for a high-end look that lasts. For additional information on Care & Maintenance, please see our guide.

How can I prevent mold from growing on my deck?

To minimize mold on the decking, clean the deck as often as needed but at least twice each year. Climate conditions vary in different regions of the country and may necessitate more periodic cleaning. In some situations, you may need to repeat the cleaning process multiple times until you are no longer able to see any “shadows” of the spots on your deck while it is wet. You would also want to apply a mold inhibitor to decrease future growth. Once the decking has been thoroughly cleaned, you will need to maintain it in much the same way you would adhere to a cleaning schedule for any other significant item in or around your home.

What products do you recommend for removing mold from a deck?

Fiberon recommends the following two products:

• 30 Seconds® Outdoor Cleaner
• 30 Seconds® Spray and Walk Away

When used in combination, these two products provide a “one-two” punch to help control mold and mildew. Both are heavy duty, mildly alkaline, chlorinated mold and mildew removers/cleaners that are biodegradable once rinsed into the soil. Both have been tested and perform very well in removing mold and mildew and decreasing its return on our uncapped composite decking. Consumers can find these products on the manufacturer’s website, at most Home Depot® locations, and through www.homedepot.com. They are also available at most Walmart® stores and Ace® Hardware locations.

Can I power-wash my deck if there is mold present?

Power-washing will only worsen the mold problem. The pressure of the power washer pushes the mold further down into the pores of the material. We DO NOT recommend power washing the decking while mold or mildew is present. If a pressure washer has been used, we recommend at least two applications of cleaner to ensure that the roots of the mold are thoroughly neutralized. A pressure washer can also, if used improperly, damage the deck surface. We recommend exercising extreme caution when using a pressure washer for deck cleaning. Remember to keep the tip at least 12 inches from the deck surface to prevent damage.

What types of welcome or grill mats are recommended for PVC and PE composite decking?

We recommend colorfast woven mats or polypropylene mats on PVC and PE Composite Decking. Avoid the use of rubber, latex or vinyl products on PVC or PE Composite Decking, as a reaction could occur resulting in discoloration under the rubber, latex or vinyl product.

Do Fiberon products require water sealing?
