3 our commitment to the environment LDT recognise the importance of environmental considerations in operating the business. As a responsible organisation, LDT, being part of James Latham Plc seeks to follow in all areas of its activities, policies that recognise this. It is considered that with best practices observed, timber and wood products are the ultimate sustainable and recyclable materials, requiring low energy consumption to process and being thermally efficient in use. Where possible, the Company will purchase timber products independently certified as coming from well-managed forests by organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). The Company has set up third party audited chain of custody systems to ensure that this material is not mixed with products of unknown origin. Where certified product is not available, LDT is committed to sourcing materials from suppliers who are operating within the laws of their own country. Third party verification is sought in high-risk areas where governance is weak. The Timber Trades Federation (TTF) responsible purchasing policy, which is a risk based due diligence process, is carried out on suppliers. The FSC logo identifies timber from well managed forests. For further information on our scope of FSC certifications please visit We refer to our product specifications in this brochure for the availibility of FSC products. The Group aims to adopt environmental standards at least equal to legal requirements and to integrate environmental considerations into its decision making in such areas as transport, energy usage, treatment plants, waste disposal and health and safety requirements.

19 IDecK species Wood is not a uniform material and each plank of wood has its own character, dependent on the source and growing conditions of the tree from which it came. Although planks may emanate from the same source, they can show variation in grain and colour, sometimes on the same plank. Therefore, samples and photographs shown in our literature are unable to be representative of the total amount of wood delivered, each plank will be unique. Once the timbers are exposed to ultraviolet light however, natural oxidation will occur and the differences in colour and grain wil become more uniform. Much of the beauty of tropical timber lies in the variation in colour from the warm red hues of Massaranduba, to the golden brown of Bangkirai and the rich chocolate brown of Ipe. In order to retain the richness of these colours, it is highly recommended that the timbers be regularly treated with a good quality oil preservative. The guarantee for products within the IDECK range to resist impact, decay and insect attack is dependent on normal conditions of usage and is limited to the replacement of defective parts with the same or, at least, an equivalent product. Installation costs are not included. For non-reversible boards we do not guarantee the quality of the underside which could show defects such as nodes and small cracks.

20 the installation Storage: store the IDECK floor boards in their original packaging, preferably in a well ventilated, roofed over space avoid direct bright sunlight Treating the boards prior to installation: thoroughly rinse the boards with water before installing in order to avoid rainwater causing excessive tannin leakage Tools: drill, screwdriver, crosscut saw, belt sander, tightening screws, heel iron, square, gluing clamp, chalk line Ground base preparation: make sure the ground base is stable, solid and smooth a slant of approximately 1 cm/running metre will provide the correct water drainage to prevent weeds from growing, it is advisable to cover with a root cloth tropical hardwood contains elements/tannic acids (e.g. oak-wood) that increase the boards resistance however, rain can also cause them to wash out in the form of a brown liquid for this reason you must avoid direct, unprotected contact with plastered and/ or other walls and floors foil protection is recommended The support construction: the support beams must be fixed into the ground base to ensure a secure foundation the support beams must be of the same kind of tropical hardwood as the visible boards attention: the support beams must be at least twice the thickness of the boards (e.g. for boards of, use support beams of at least 42 x 70 mm) overall a width of 50 mm will suffice, but in places where two ends of the boards are to be joined together, you will need a width of 70 mm during alignment, ensure that the correct distance between beams is maintained: the distance depends on the strength and width of the boards (see graph) Placement on a concrete or tilted floor: the support beams must be fixed into the ground base to ensure a secure foundation we recommend placing the beams in such a way that they are parallel to the direction of the drainage Placement on a slanted ground base: it is advisable to use the adjustable synthetic support elements (± 8m2), which also need to be fixed into the ground base Placement on natural soil: when necessary, apply a stabilized and levelled sand or gravel layer place concrete tiles 50 cm apart to provide sufficient support and fixture for the support beams verify the height and slant, cover with a rootcloth and fix the support beams into the concrete tiles Freestanding terrace: consult your architect/contractor, who will be able to provide you with the correct information, adapted to your requirements To order m2: to install in a random sequence, allow 5 to 10 % more boards compared to the surface area to be covered to install under an angle of 45, with corners or irregular joints, allow 15 to 20 % more boards compared to the surface area to be covered Over time some of the natural tannin within the wood is washed out although this can be reduced by thoroughly rinsing the boards with water before installation. Such tannins can cause staining to adjacent materials such as concrete, brickwork and metalwork and consideration should be made for this prior to installation.further tannin leakage may occur as a result of heavy rain fall and is likely to be most noticeable soon after installation Board Thickness mm Board Width 90 mm 120 mm 145 mm source: WTCB Bearer Distance cm

21 fitting instructions for your comfort For IDECK CLADDING To solve the rare occurence of splinters, we advise, once the installation is finished, that you douse the deck with water (or wait until after the first rainfall) and, once dry, sandpaper the surface. This will assist in breaking the heads of any splinters which may occur. Natural oxidation due to ultraviaolet light will cause the decking to grey (particularly around swimming pools). We take no responsibility with regard to accidents regarding slipping. Where can IDECK Cladding be used: New construction, residential property, office buildings, industrial buildings and commercial offices, educational facilities,... and of course for renovation purposes. IDECK Cladding can: Improve the quality of life through the sound and thermal insulation provided by the cladding. Improve the aesthetics of the facade. Improve the overall resistance of the facade to water (like an umbrella). Remember that the lowest cladding board must be more than 20 cm from the ground. Include an expansion joint (+ / - 1mm) while installing the cladding. They are fixed with stainless steel nails/screws (+/- 26 nails/screws / m ). Hidden installation only with boards < 125 mm, all wider boards (>125mm) need to be fixed with two fasteners stainless (steel nails/screws). We can provide aluminium corners, in and outgoing, as well as expansion profiles. General Precautions: Make sure that there is enough ventilation possible behind the cladding, a minimum space of 1 cm is needed. (Generally determined by the thickness of bearers). The backbone must be naturally sustainable wood (durability class 1). It must be anchored to the wall by appropriate fasteners to enable the bearers to be mounted. A distance between bearers must be 40 to 60 cm. They must not impede the ventilation cladding. Minimum section of bearer is usually 27 x 42 mm. Maintenance: Our cladding can remain unprotected, it will oxidize naturally to a silver gray colour as a result of ultraviolet sunrays and weather. Install gauze on the top and bottom of your cladding to prevent leaves, bird nests etc. from hindering the ventilation behind the cladding. The IDECK cladding can be put in a vertical, horizontal or inclined direction. For a horizontal installation, please ensure that the tongue is always pointing up, and the groove down.
