Maximum Spans <br /> Regular SkidGuard can be applied <br /> directly over framing. For fiat installa- <br /> tions only. NO sub-floodng is required, <br /> See Load Span Tables for allowable <br /> un[form load per square foot. <br /> 2. FaStening <br /> Use only stainless steel or hot- <br /> dipped galvanized spiral or,ring <br /> shank nails, Nail at least %' from <br /> edge of panel to prevent possible <br /> sudace cracking. For docks, marine <br /> applications or other wet areas, cor- <br /> rosion resistant bolts or screws are <br /> best. Pre-drill screw holes and count- <br /> ersink with caution. Washers should <br /> be used with bolts to provide a <br /> greater bearing surface. <br />3. Edge Joints <br />See Figures 1,2 and 3 for handling <br />edge joints in fha field, Edges of <br />panels must not have direct contact <br />with water. <br />4. Caulking <br />Use a good quality caulk on all joints. <br />Avoid oil-based caulks and glazing <br />materials. Be sore to obtain squeeze- <br />out on full length of the joint. No caulk <br />joint is ideal and Regular SkidGuard <br />should not be specified for roofs or <br />~laces where absolute water-proof- <br />g is required, The illustrated joints <br />should be satisfactory for most <br />decks and balconies. <br /> <br /> 5. Machining <br /> Regular SkidGuard can be sawn, <br /> shaped, routed or jointed with ordi- <br /> nary care, using h~gh-speed, pro- <br /> fessional quality power tools. Use <br /> carbide-tipped blades for cutting, <br /> adjusting arbor so fhat blade extends <br /> V2" through panel, Feed material to <br /> saw slowly, <br /> 6, 13rilling <br /> {I appearance on back is important, <br /> pane~ should be backed up to avoid <br /> chipping as drill bit breaks through, <br /> Do not drill closer than V4" to the <br /> edge of the panel, <br /> 7. Durability <br /> Regular SkidGuard willprovide years <br />of service when installed as described. <br />However, wood will decay when sub- <br />jected to periods of prolonged moisture <br />coodJtioos. Free air circulation beneath <br />the panel is crucial for long lite. Do <br />not ~nstaJl Regular $kidGuard over <br />existing lumber or plywood decking <br />in exterior applications, Joists and <br />blocking members should be con- <br />structed with preservative-treated or <br />naturally decay resistant wood for <br />maximum life in exterior applications, <br />Contact Simpson for specific preserv- <br />ative treatment recommendat~oos. <br /> <br /> <br />
