Installation Instructions
WPC process uses a variety of cellulose materials, which are of the highest quality to ensure that our products have a more natural look and feel than composites made from purely recycled materials. In addition, Eago is proud to offer you a large selection of styles and colours to choose from.

Due to variations in the manufacturing process we recommend that all necessary WPC decking materials be purchased in one order to maintain a uniform look as the decking
material can lighten over time. It should be noted that these colour variations are not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

We have also provided a user-friendly, quick-clip system to install our decking to provide a clean, smooth look to your deck, which avoids the presence of unsightly nail/screw heads showing through the deck. This system also helps in
providing a uniform spacing between your deck boards and allows for easier installation.

Seven standard color shades are available for each style of our deck boards. Custom tailoring in color and lengths are available to meet your
needs and requirements.
The framing and foundation of decking are the keys to a successful and long-lasting installation. It is always recommended that you consult
your local building codes and installation expert for span recommendations when planning for decks with hot tubs, planters, grills, etc.

When fastening deck boards to the joists using the traditional method, a minimum of two nails should be used to fasten the boards to the joists and a minimum of three nails at the end of each board. Screws/nails need to be sunk flush with boards. Do not over drive or leave the nail/screw heads above the top surface of the boards. Screws/nails should be driven within one inch (1) from the end and edge of the boards.

For optimum results, fasten from center of plank out. End joints must all on a joist. The framing segments should be doubled to help provide a competent fastening surface.

WPC is derived from cellulose fibers and many different polymers and additives, which vary based on the product being manufactured to achieve UV stablization. Combination of the plastic and wood components is done with strong consideration to both the proper mixing ratio of each component, and which of the various additives are used to create a high quality, low cost material.

Individually both plastic and cellulose fiber have many problems. For example, plastic expands and contracts more with temperature changes than cellulose does. However, cellulose fiber is more likely to absorb water, grow mold, mildew and stain as a result of spills or unfavorable weather conditions. By adding cellulose fiber to plastic, WPC is created. This reduces cost, increases strength and provides higher dimensional stability with minimal expansion and contraction than either plastic or wood alone.

The proper size of the fibers is also a critical element for the smooth compounding and extrusion processes and is key in setting the final physical and mechanical properties of the product manufactured. Our mastery of this important consideration in manufacturing of WPC allows Eago to offer you better flexural strengths, higher load capacities, more flexible designs, greater chemical resistance, greater water resistance, and higher resistance to wood eating insects at a range of competitive prices.
