1. Why
do I need to gap ResinDek panels?
ResinDek panels, like most
other panels in the Industry, are prone to linear expansion
during changes in humidity on the
jobsites. Because ResinDek panels
are made of wood fibers and a variety of resins, melamine
and urea resins, they are
extremely dense and don't
crush under load. Because they don't crush, they are particularly
susceptible to buckling if the
panels expand together.
2.
When do I need a finish on my panels?
When you have high traffic and
want a good-looking floor for years to come. Without a
finish, stains from beverages,
marking pens, and traffic
penetrate the panels and are not easily removed. ResinDek
is offered in Gray Diamond Seal®
and Clear Diamond Seal®
finishes for this reason.
3. Can
you apply a finish to ResinDek UF (unfinished) after it
has been installed?
Yes, we offer coatings that can
be applied directly over ResinDek UF on site, please contact
our office for details.
4. What
are the capacities of each panel?
Pallet jack wheel loads
5. How
thick are LD, MD, HD and Xspan?
ResinDek LD, MD and HD are 3/4"
thick and are designed to install over 20 gauge or heavier
corrugated metal "B"
decking. ResinDek Xspan is 1-1/8"
thick designed to be installed directly over bar joists
or structural supports without
"B" decking.
6. How
much does each panel weigh?
ResinDek LD - 3.06 lbs per square
foot. ResinDek MD - 3.44 lbs/sf. ResinDek HD - 3.75 lbs/sf
ResinDek Xspan®
5.2 lbs/sf.
7. Why
are your panels undersized?
We manufacture the panels 1/8"
under nominal dimensions to allow for gapping. When spaced
properly, a nominal
4 x 8 panel will take up exactly
48" x 96" of space on your platform.
8. What
is more important - Uniform loads per square foot, or
pallet jack loads?
While both are important, the
loads imposed by pallet jacks are usually more critical
because the load is more
concentrated and dynamic instead
of static. Pallet jack loads also appear to increase the
risk of failure faster when
recommended loads are exceeded.
9. Do
you warrant your panels?
All ResinDek panels are
conditionally warranted for a period of seven years when
installed and used within our
guidelines. Please
refer to our detailed Installation Instructions and written
warranty for details.
10.When should I use the
ESD finish?
ResinDek with ESD should
be used whenever there is electrically sensitive equipment,
including laptops, barcode
scanners, and RFID devices
on or around your work platforms. In addition, ResinDek
ESD panels eliminate the
occasional static shock
that your personnel may occasionally experience when walking
on a floor in dry environments.
11.Why do I have to use your
ResinDek Drill Screws instead of my own?
You can use your own screws,
but we cannot warrant against fastener related issues
if you do. Our screws are self-
drilling, require no counter-boring,
and are computer color matched to the panel surface. Problems
frequently
encountered with other screws
include strip out, improper seating of the screw head,
and panel lift from the surface of
the corrugated. Pre-drilling
may be required on ResinDek Xspan installed over heavy
gauge steel. Contact us for
further details.
12.What is the Invisi-Loc®
Underside Fastening System?
The Invisi-Loc Underside
Fastening System is an advanced fastener installation
system that mounts fasteners under the
mezzanine decking rather
than on the top. This underside fastening provides a showcase
appearance floor that is easier
to clean.
