Oak Balustrade Components
In order for you to finish your oak deck to the highest possible standard, we offer a unique range of decking components, including Oak handrail, baserail, infill, posts and spindles. For more information, visit our
Decking Components section.
Simply screw through the face of the board into your sub-frame. Always Pilot Drill before fitting screws and drill 2mm oversize holes. We recommend 400mm centre to centre joist spacing. Each hole can be plugged. We do not recommend that the ArchiDeck Hidden Fastening system is used with oak boards.
Whilst oak decking is far more stable than softwood equivalents, we suggest that a 6mm gap is left between each board. Being a natural product, there will be some expansion and shrinkage according to climate, but this is not likely to be noticed by the human eye. Please note that as hardwood specialists, we do not stock softwood for sub-frames. We recommend that your source this from a standard timber merchants.
