* To be adjusted on a case-by-case basis, depending, notably on the species, width boards, environment, exposure and climate conditions.

Scrupulously respect the requirements linked to the chosen species (NF B 54-040), the requirements of the standards and regulations in force (notably NF-DTU 51.4 and 41.2), maximum width/thickness ratio values, installation and grooving instructions, manufacturer’s instructions, regulations in force and good practices. Some varieties must be used with special care or are to be avoided, due, notably to their unstable nature, to their range of movement, to their fragility or certain specific properties that could give rise to weaknesses with respect to the boards.

QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION

The HardWood Clip® fastening system allows to save at least 40% installation time (without structure) compared to traditional installations, while offering greater durability and safety.

The CUT point and patented profile of the SPAX® screw thread guarantee precision cutting and penetration speed, without any risk of wood splitting.

The integrated spacer into the fastener guarantees the automatic and regular spacing of the boards during installation.

The boards’ grooved profile is straightforward and reversible. It can be created in the workshop across the entire length of the boards, or during installation, by means of a (Lamello® type) biscuit joiner.

The quality, functionality and performance of each of the components in the HardWood Clip® fastening system help to make the users’ job easier.

We recommend compliance with the rules and requirements of standards NF DTU 51.4 and NF B54-040.

Quick and easy installation1.
