Decking does not require any special treatment after setting it. The recommended maintenance consists of infrequent washing of defrom settled dust or dirt. You can use special liquids for caring for WPC (tinting) or silicone-based liquid products (such as car wax, which is used
to cover cars at car washes) - they give the terrace a new look, refresh the color and additionally protect against moisture.

Over time, the color of quality WPC products becomes slightly lighter. This is a natural process and it does not affect the quality
of the product. Color lightening is usually associated with the release of harmless polyethylene wax on the surface, which is added
to the composite as a lubricant. Wax improves the properties of the surface to repel water. To verify this, try rubbing the brightened
deck with a rough cloth or fingernail. Тhe wax will be easily erased and the color will be the same when laying the decking.
Wax will be erased during operation, the color of the decking will not change further. The burnout of low-quality WPC products,
as a rule, is the destruction of an unprotected polymer from the composite composition from UV irradiation. If a UV absorber,
antioxidants and a light stabilizer are not added to the composite, the polymer will eventually turn into dust and the decking will
collapse. It can also happen if less polymer is added to the composite than necessary. The manufacturer works according to the technology without the granulation stage in the production chain. As a rule, such products have a minimum price on the market. Signs of polymer degradation after some time are a rough, rough surface, “weathering”, cracks in the decking, reduced strength. This occurs with
decking due to the layer-by-layer destruction of the polymer in the composite under the influence of UV in the direction from
the surface inwards. The polymer turns to dust and is blown away by the wind. The board becomes rough.

Products manufactured by BGX will last at least 25 years. In production, each product is checked daily for the main parameters: strength
and moisture absorption. Climatic tests are regularly carried out for UV exposure under conditions close to real ones such as operation, humidity, temperature changes, etc.

The terrace deck of our production is produced from a composite, which shows an average bending strength of 45 MPa. The recommended bending strength of SIC WPC is at least 25 MPa. Our composite withstands strength tests with a margin. The amount of load that the deck
can withstand depends on the section of the profile, the step of the lag on which it lies and the nature of the load - point or distribution.

To understand which board to choose according to the load, talk to our specialist, he will offer a choice for your needs.

The surface of decking can be cleaned in several ways, depending on the type of contamination. The best option is a Karcher pressure washer or similar if the terrace is covered with dust or stained with dirt, then. Rubbing with brushes in this case is not recommended because sand in the dirt can scratch the surface, and in places of friction the surface will become more matte hence a matte spot will appear that will stand out from the rest of the surface. If you have spilled wine, ink, paint that is not washed off with water, clean the decking with a soft metal brush with water supply. After the cleaned area dries, it will probably have a more matte surface than the area next to it where it was not rubbed. Wipe this place with a silicone-based liquid and rinse with water, this place will become the same shade as the one next to it, the stain will not stand out. Detergents can be used as desired. If you use Karcher, it would be a good idea to spray wax after washing, this will protect against dirt sticking, make the next wash easier, refresh the look and further enhance protection against moisture.
