PLI-DEK MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

Now that you have a Pli-Dek Decking System, you should know about the following features. The plywood decking system is ICC-ES Evaluated as a class A or B fire rated system. It also carries a one-hour fire resistive and fire retardant classification. The deck system has been successfully installed since 1980 when it passed all the ASTM tests required to become ICC-ES Evaluated.

The following precautions will help maintain the integrity of the Pli-Dek Decking System.

1. Do not puncture the deck surface with any screw, nail, or sharp object.

2. Do not install outdoor carpet over the decking surface for this may lead to water entrapment, mildew, etc.

3. Do not allow any chemicals to be used on the deck such as, solvents, bleach, fuels, industrial cleaning agents, etc.

4. Avoid putting plants on the deck without the proper saucer under it. The saucer should not be flat so as to entrap moisture under it.

5. Do not allow your pets to use the deck as a bathroom. Urine has a high content of acid and most certainly will start to corrode the deck, door, threshold, or flashing.

6. Do not allow barbecues to become too close to the deck surface so as to burn it.

7. Do not cut metal on top of the deck so as to allow metal shavings to lay on the deck surface and later rust.

8. Do not use metal shovels or scrapers to clean up snow or debris.

9. Do not allow water to puddle and sit on top of the deck surface; this will help reduce staining.

10. If water infiltration is noticed on the inside of any adjoining door or window area that abuts the deck, rectify the water intrusion before it has a chance to migrate under the decking surface.

11. For general cleaning, use a mild soap and water along with a push broom to remove any dirt. When finished, hose off entire deck removing all soap. 12. Re-seal coating every two (2) years. (Contact Pli-Dek for complete details) The basic instructions should be used as a general guide. Should there be any questions about the upkeep or maintenance of your Pli-Dek System, please call your local distributor or contractor/applicator.
