External Wooden Flooring 27x145x200 cm - Wooden Flooring for Garden

Creating a welcoming and refined outdoor environment is possible thanks to the 2.7x14.5x200 cm outdoor wooden floor, a first choice solution for those looking for quality and resistance. This plank has a thickness of 2.7 cm, width of 14.5 cm and length of 200 cm, guaranteeing a development of the single piece equal to 0.29 square metres.

The delicately rounded corners of the wooden plank give the floor a soft and elegant appearance, reducing the risk of accidental impacts. The material used is pine, a wood renowned for its durability and ability to integrate harmoniously with the external environment. Its robustness is increased by the class 3 autoclave treatment which protects it from humidity, insects and mould.

The floor has FSC certification, a guarantee that the wood comes from forests managed responsibly and with sustainable criteria. This ecological awareness translates into a more environmentally friendly choice.

Particular attention was paid to safety: one of the sides of the plank has anti-slip knurls which make it ideal for humid or slippery areas such as pool edges or outdoor showers. The other side is smooth, allowing you to choose your favorite look or alternate sides to create diverse patterns.

The floor can be placed on terraces, balconies, verandas or gardens; It is also perfectly suited as a covering for pool edges, patios or for the creation of an external wooden platform. Furthermore, the possibility of further impregnation allows owners to customize the color of the floor with water-based impregnation according to their personal taste.

Finally, the installation of outdoor wooden flooring is accessible even to the less experienced: many DIY enthusiasts will find it simple and rewarding to carry out their own outdoor project. With this product you can transform any outdoor space into a private corner of paradise where relaxation and nature meet in perfect harmony.

Wooden Decking Installation: Detailed guide for creating outdoor wooden floors

Preparation of the substrate:

A solid and level base is essential: Wooden decking must be installed on a stable and level surface to ensure its durability and performance. Several options are suitable:

• Concrete: A concrete base offers maximum strength and stability, ideal for high-traffic areas.
• Gravel: A well-compacted gravel substrate drains well and is perfect for humid areas or rainy climates.
• Grass: If you want a more natural look, you can install decking directly onto a well-mown and compacted lawn. Make sure drainage is adequate to avoid water stagnation.
• Adjustment for elevation: If the floor is elevated, use adjustable plastic or metal supports to create a flat, stable base for the joists.

Pose:

• Load-bearing structure: The joists act as the skeleton of the floor, supporting the weight of the slats and ensuring the stability of the covering.
• Spacing: Position the joists at an even distance of approximately 40-60 cm from each other. Walk over the surface with a tight rope to ensure that the installation is perfectly parallel.
• Fixing: Anchor the joists firmly to the subfloor using plugs or screws suited to the type of base chosen (concrete) or simply resting them (gravel or grass).

Fixing method:

• Decking planks: Fix the slats directly to the joists with visible screws, pre-drilling the slats to avoid splitting. This mode exposes the screw heads on the floor surface. Fix the planks on the edges as suggested in the photo below to avoid unwanted but natural movements of the wood.
• Expansion: Leave a small expansion space (about 5-6 mm) between the slats and between the slats and the wall to avoid deformations caused by variations in temperature and humidity. Use spacer wedges to maintain correct spacing during installation.

Floor finishing:

• Cutting to size: Once all the slats have been laid, use a circular saw or jigsaw to cut the excess along the edges and near the walls, following the line of the wall.
• Aesthetic finishes: For a more finished look, you can add frames, boards or closing edges to cover the gaps between the planks and the wall, giving a more refined appearance to the floor.

Additional tips:

• Pre-drill the strips: For whatever fixing method you choose, it is recommended to pre-drill the strips before screwing in the screws to avoid splitting the wood.
• Choose appropriate screws: Use stainless steel or galvanized half-thread screws to resist weathering and prevent corrosion.
• Treatment of wood: To ensure greater durability over time, protect the decking with an outdoor wood varnish suitable for walking. It is important to impregnate the plank on all four sides to avoid deformations caused by humidity on the untreated sides. Before applying the primer it is advisable to sand, we recommend using a fine-grained abrasive sponge.
• Regular maintenance: Periodically inspect the floor and clean it with specific products to keep the wood in good condition and prolong its useful life.

By carefully following these instructions, you will be able to install your wood decking successfully, creating a beautiful, functional and long-lasting outdoor space.
