ResinDek® Installation Instructions

1. ResinDek®should be installed over corrugated metal
     B-decking or an existing mezzanine floor surface.
     ResinDek is not intended for exterior applications.      RESINDEK PRODUCTS NOT INSTALLED IN
     ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING
     INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID ALL
     WARRANTIES.

2. ResinDek panels must be kept dry in transit, storage,
     during and after installation. Panels should be stored
     flat in a level position.
3.
ResinDek Installation Process:
    Begin installation by setting a true line with a laser or
       transit less than 48" from one edge of mezzanine.
    Leave a 3/8" gap/space on outer edges of ResinDek,
       and leave 1/8" gap/space between ResinDek panels.
       Trim the last row of panels to allow for the 3/8"
       gap/space on outer edges of ResinDek perimeter.
    Attached to each unit of ResinDek is a package of 3
      panel spacers.  Insert metal spacers (2 along one long
      edge, 1 along a short edge) between all adjacent panels.
       FAILURE TO USE METAL PANEL SPACERS
       MAY ALLOW FLOOR TO BUCKLE AND WILL
       VOID ALL WARRANTIES.

    Attach panels to corrugated metal B-deck or other
      approved subflooring using a minimum of 20 fasteners
      per 4' x 8' sheet. (See Figure A)
      For best results, use ResinDek screws furnished by us.
      Fasteners should be located a minimum of 1" from
      tongue and groove edges and from square edges.
      Remove panel spacers and insert between next panels.
    Be sure that panels are installed with the correct face
      on top. When correctly laid, the arrow on the square
      edge of the panel should point up and panels should
      have a space of a panel spacer’s width around the
      perimeter of each ResinDek panel, and about 1/4" on
      the underside of the tongue and groove. The
      gap/space will always be larger on the underside.
    Stagger panels so that joints break on different ribs
      wherever possible.
    ResinDek can be installed with the long direction
       parallel or perpendicular to the corrugate metal
      B-deck. All panel joints should break on ribs.
      6" wide x 20 gauge minimum steel shims must
      be used when ResinDek breaks on a valley.
      (See Figure B)
    Fasteners must be long enough to penetrate both the
      ResinDek and the subfloor. Secure each panel with a
      minimum of four fasteners before installing the next
      panel. Use only screw guns with a nose clutch to
      countersink screw heads. DRIVE FASTENERS SO
      THAT THE COUNTERSUNK HEAD IS JUST
      BELOW THE PANEL SURFACE.

    ResinDek can be trimmed to size with ordinary power
      saws. Use carbide tipped blades for best results.
    3/8" perimeter gaps/space can be hidden with toe strips
      or kick plates.

4. ResinDek Pallet Load Recommendations
     (pallet jack and load)

    Do not exceed 2,000 lbs. live & dead load on
      ResinDek® LD.
    Do not exceed 3,000 lbs. live & dead load on
      ResinDek® MD.
    Do not exceed 4,500 lbs. live & dead load on
      ResinDek® HD.
Substructures must be capable of supporting the above
loads. Failure of substructure may result in local failure
of ResinDek. Use 20 gauge or heavier corrugated metal
B-deck for substructure.  18 gauge is recommended for
2 ,500 lb. loads or greater.
5.
ResinDek Cleaning & Maintenance
    If ResinDek with Clear Diamond Seal®, Gray
      Diamond Seal® or ESD finish has been installed,
      the surface is quite cleanable and durable. Unfinished
      ResinDek will clean up similar to other unfinished
      wood products.
    ResinDek with Clear Diamond Seal®, Gray
      Diamond Seal® or ESD finish can be easily cleaned
      using a damp mop and/or ordinary cleaning solvents.
      Do not use methylene chloride or paint thinners on
      ResinDek.
    Prolonged and extensive soaking, hosing down, or
      wetting of all ResinDek products must be avoided.

WARNING: UNDER CONDITIONS OF EXTREME HUMIDITY,
RESINDEK® MAY BE PRONE TO LINEAR EXPANSION.
WARNING: Common installation mistakes that
can void your 7-year warranty
resindek screw gun with clutch resindek screw gun without clutch
Must use screw driver/gun with operable clutch
for consistent screw depth setting. For best
results, use stand-up screw gun.
Do not use screw driver/gun with no clutch or a
broken clutch.
resindek over corrugated b-decking resindek over corrugated b-decking incorrect valley break
Panels must meet on high points (ribs) of
corrugated B-Decking.
Do not place panel edges on top of corrugated
B-Decking low points (valley).
resindek correct drill screw placement resindek incorrect drill screw placement
Approved screws must be placed just below
the panel surface.
Do not place approved screws too high or too
low in the panels.
resindek correct spacing resindek incorrect spacing
Use pacers between panels for correct spacing.
3/8" space/gap on outer edges (perimeter).
Do not install panels without 3/8" gap/space
