Use and Care Manual

Other Considerations
To keep your TimberTech Deck or Porch looking its best, here are a few things to consider:
• Avoid the use of rubber-backed mats, tarps, pool toys, and other non-porous items on the deck for any extended period of time as these
items may cause discoloration to the decking surface.
• Some products, such as sunblock and insect repellent, contain chemicals that may alter the surface of TimberTech Deck, Rail, or Porch
and Rim Joist Covers. Prior to use of these products on or near an TimberTech Deck, Rail, or Porch, check product labels and consult
the manufacturer about the product's effect on plastic materials.
• Do not get any PVC glue or similar product on the surface of any TimberTech Deck, Rail, or Porch product as it may discolor and
permanently damage the surface.
• As with any walking surface, TimberTech Deck or Porch products may become slippery in freezing weather. Take caution when walking
in these conditions. For ice removal, most products containing calcium chloride can be used without damage to the deck or porch
surface. These products may leave a white residue which can be cleaned using the cleaning guidelines in the previous pages.
• Metal shovels or plastic shovels with a metal leading edge will damage the surface of an TimberTech Deck or Porch and are not
recommended for clearing snow from deck surface.
• Do not allow airborne construction dust from materials such as concrete, fiber cement, landscape blocks, stucco, and drywall to
accumulate on the surface of an TimberTech Deck or Porch as it may damage the surface of the deck. Do not cut any product and
always remove job site dust, clay, dirt, mud, and other construction products from an TimberTech Deck, Rail, and Porch quickly. Do not
allow construction dirt and debris to sit on the TimberTech Deck, Rail, or Porch surface. Do not cut metal objects such as railing on the
deck surface, the hot debris from the cut may become embedded in the deck surface resulting in staining and damage.
These guidelines may not cover every care and maintenance scenario encountered. For additional questions about care and maintenance,
