8 2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Explanation of the icons: permitted, correct application NOT permitted, incorrect application Attension: Do not screw together directly RELAZZO boards must not be directly screwed together. Bear the installation direction in mind Ensure an even installation of the boards in brushing direction (arrow printed on board). In addition to this, pips can be seen inside cavities on hollow profiles and on the side of solid profiles to indicate the profile orientation. 8

9 min. 10 mm/lfm Gradient A gradient of min. 1 % (10 mm/lfm) is to be adhered to in order to prevent water spots and waterlogging. In addition to this, the gradient also helps remove dirt naturally with rain and is very slip-resistant thanks to this. ~ 1.1 Nm Pilot drilling and screwing together Use a low torque setting so as not to over-tighten screws when screwing them in. Cut A 90 cut on the board ends is recommended for an optimum joint pattern. Boards recommended. 9

10 Bear expansion joints in mind WPC decking boards are subject to natural expansion. A sufficient expansion joint therefore has to be planned in between each board as well as the substructure. Air flow and ventilation In order to ensure quick drying of the materials underneath the boards as well as the board underside, it is mandatory to observe specified minimum clearances. Waterlogging is to be prevented. When using jointing profiles, the clearance between the subsoil and the board underside is to be increased to a minimum of 10 cm. In particular in this case, it is essential that the minimum clearances to fixed building components are maintained or increased in order to ensure sufficient air flow and ventilation. The clearance between the subsoil and the board must not be backfilled. Documentation of the installation It is recommended to photograph the decking during installation of the substructure and immediately following its completion. Document the pictures as part of the acceptance record for subsequent modifications for documentation of the ground design and the installation clearances as well as in general as evidence that this installation guide has been adhered to. Not suitable for self-supporting, structural purposes The WPC profile RELAZZO and the substructure have been specially developed for use as decking surfaces. The products do not have building authority approval and for this reason are not to be used for self-supporting or structural purposes. The local building regulations are to be observed accordingly. Colour development The raw material wood also means possible colour variations and tinges that enhance the natural wood appearance. When using different batches, it is recommended that they be mixed up so that this natural effect is used to its full potential. Safety warnings The information and recommendations given here do not release the fabricator from strict adherence to all applicable safety and environmental regulations as well as the regulations of the Labour Inspectorate and employer's liability insurance association, as these always take precedence. The safety regulations of the adhesives used must be noted and strictly observed. Auxiliary materials such as alcohol-based cleaning products and other easily flammable materials should only be stored in safe and well-ventilated places. Safety equipment such as gloves, safety goggles, ear protection and dust masks are always to be used. 10

11 3 RELAZZO INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY General installation 3.1 Foundation 3.2 At the same level 3.3 Substructure 3.4 Board 3.1 Underground Floor construction NOT allowed Load-bearing building components floor construction RELAZZO has no approval for self-supporting, structural purposes. Construction on balconies or bridges is only permitted following the approval of a structural engineer in the case of a sufficiently static subsurface (e.g. steel mesh) taking into account the local building regulations. Lawn/soil floor construction An installation on the soil or lawn is not permissible without a frost-resistant or water and erosion-resistant design of the subsoil and installation by a specialist company due to ground settlements. 11

12 Sand floor construction An installation on sand is not permissible without a frost-resistant or water and erosion-resistant design of the subsoil and installation by a specialist company due to ground settlements. Floor construction allowed Frost-resistant stone filling floor construction The local building regulations for a design of the frost-resistant stone filling in accordance with standards are to be complied with. The specialist department of your choice is responsible for the design. REHAU cannot provide a warranty for the design of the stone filling. Concrete floor construction The local building regulations for the design of the frost-resistant concrete slab in accordance with standards are to be complied with. The specialist department of your choice is responsible for the design. REHAU cannot provide a warranty for the design of the concrete slab. 12

13 Flat roof floor construction The local building regulations for the design of a flat roof in accordance with standards are to be complied with. The specialist department of your choice is responsible for the design. REHAU cannot provide a warranty for the design of the flat roof. Please ensure that the foundation (e.g. damping) does not buckle due to potential loads. 3.2 Level compensation a. Rubber spacer Rubber spacers 50 x 50 x 3, 5, 10 mm Rubber pads may be used for levelling and raising the substructure (to prevent water logging). The rubber spacers also serve the purpose of reducing noises (impact sound). Rubber spacers must not be stacked. b. Concrete spacers Concrete blocks may be used for levelling and raising the substructure (to prevent water logging). 13

14 c. Adjustable foot - The height is adjusted with millimetre precision by rotating the eight revolving fingers of the height-adjustment wheel. Note: the maximum bore height has been reached once the hole in the thread and the notch of the foot meet - The installation is carried out by placing the substructure onto the adjusting foot and fusing the fixing clips together - Pedestal: mm height adjustable - Pedestal extender: 35 mm - Floor space: Ø 200 mm - Max. allowable load per pedestal: 4 kn Adjusting foot mm Adjustable foot adapter Adjusting range (mm) from up to max. permissible total height: 510 mm WPC substructure Aluminium substructure <300 mm* <300 mm* <400 mm <400 mm <370 mm <370 mm <470 mm <470 mm *Note: if the upright WPC substructure 60 x 40 is used, the support width can be increased to 400 mm. Adjustable foot with screw for WPC substructure Adjustable foot with screw for aluminium substructure The option of fixing the foot to the notching supplied with concrete slabs exists as an alternative to screwing the adjustable foot with the foundation. 14

15 3.3 Substructure a. Installation on various bases Installation on frost-resistant stone filling The substructure profiles must not be installed directly onto the subsoil. The substructures are to be fixed onto concrete spacers with fixing bracket, fastening system aluminium substructure or onto the adjusting feet with screws. Installation on concrete The substructures located at the edge of the surface are to be fixed onto concrete base with a fixing bracket, fastening system aluminium substructure or onto the adjusting feet with screws. Uneven ground is to be levelled using rubber pads. If the substructure profiles are installed across the gradient, rubber pads, slabs (blocks, paving stones) or adjustable feet are to be used to prevent water logging. Installation on a flat roof A frame is to be built using the substructure. This frame is to be raised off the drainage membrane using rubber spacers or adjustable feet. It is forbidden to screw the substructure down. Weights/fastenings to prevent movement under wind loads must be confirmed by a specialist. Any damage to the flat roof membrane is to be ruled out! The compatibility of the rubber spacers and adjustable feet with roofing felt is to be checked. 15
