In-depth analysis of outdoor Decking composite material usage and accessories: professional calculation guide and practice guide
Outdoor Decking composite has been widely used in home decoration, public facilities and other fields in recent years due to its green and environmentally friendly, easy installation and durability. However, the installation of Decking composite is not a simple splicing combination, but requires detailed material usage and accessories calculation according to the actual situation of the project. This article will give you a detailed introduction to the calculation method of outdoor Decking composite material usage and required accessories to help you carry out the installation project smoothly.
1. Calculation of outdoor Decking composite material usage
1. Measure the ground area: First, it is necessary to measure the ground where the Decking composite is installed to determine its length and width. If the ground shape is irregular, it can be divided into several rectangular areas, and the areas are calculated separately and then summed.
2. Calculate the amount of decking composite: According to the ground area, combined with the size of the decking composite, calculate the number of floors required. For example, the length and width of a Decking composite are 150cm and 15cm respectively, so the number of floors required per square meter is 1000/(150*15)=44.44 pieces. On this basis, the total number of required floors is calculated according to the actual measured area.
3. Allow for losses: During the actual installation process, Decking composite may be damaged or splicing errors may occur, so a certain proportion of losses needs to be reserved. Generally speaking, the loss ratio is about 5%.
4. Consider reserving gaps: In order to prevent the Decking composite from deforming due to temperature changes, a certain gap needs to be reserved during installation. The gap width is generally 1-2mm, which is adjusted according to actual needs.
2. Calculation of outdoor Decking composite accessories
1. Anchor bolts: Anchor bolts are used to fix the Decking composite to the ground, and their number depends on the floor area and installation method. Generally speaking, 4-6 anchor bolts are required per square meter.
2. Angle code: Angle code is used to connect two decking composites, and its number is the same as the number of floors.
3. T-type connector: T-type connector is used to connect three or more decking composites, and its number is calculated according to the actual splicing needs.
4. Edge strips: Edge strips are used to process the edges of the Decking composite to prevent warping and damage. The number is calculated based on the circumference of the ground, and 1-2 edge strips are required for each meter of ground.
5. Waterproof glue: Waterproof glue is used to fill the gaps in the Decking composite joints to prevent moisture penetration. Its usage is calculated based on the floor area and gap width.
III. Sharing of practical experience
1. When calculating the amount of materials and accessories, be sure to accurately measure the ground size to avoid material waste due to errors.
2. When purchasing decking composite, you should fully consider its color, style, specifications and other factors to ensure overall beauty.
3. Before installation, the Decking composite should be pre-treated, such as trimming and polishing, to ensure the installation effect.
4. During the installation process, pay attention to reserving gaps to prevent the floor from deforming.
5. The selection of accessories should be combined with actual needs and installation environment to ensure its performance and aesthetics.
In short, the installation of outdoor Decking composite requires professional calculations and careful construction. Only by fully understanding the amount of materials and the matching of accessories can the installation effect be beautiful and practical. In actual operation, it is recommended that experienced people perform calculations and guidance to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
