Page 11
Installation Instructions - Deck Resurfacing
• The deck structure must meet and maintain all local codes.
• Any existing deck boards must be flat and have no protruding or loose
fasteners.
• The boards should be made from rot / mildew resistant materials.
• Consider using a water sealant where appropriate.
• A 5/4" treated deck board is recommended for a new deck surface under
the pavers.
• Door and other thresholds must be able to accommodate the 1-3/4"
added height.
• Refer back to page 7 for laying AZEK pavers.
IMPORTANT:
AZEK Pavers are designed to be a deck covering installed over a structural deck surface.
AZEK Pavers are NOT a structural replacement for a deck surface, and should NEVER be
used as the structural element of the deck. Prior to installing, be sure to verify that the
deck can support the addition of AZEK Pavers.
Sub-Structure Requirements
To secure the perimeter, there are a couple common methods:
Use AZEK Resurfacing Bullnose Pavers:
• Refer to page 21 for installation guidelines.
Use AZEK Resurfacing Transition Paver:
• Refer to page 22 for installation guidelines.
Use a Skirt Board Around the Perimeter:
• A skirt board can be installed around the open perimeters (not against the
house).
• Install the skirt board 1-3/4" above the deck surface to meet up with the
height of the pavers.
• Fasten the skirt board with the appropriate fasteners.
• Remember to leave the appropriate expansion gap between the pavers
and the skirt board.
• Refer to the “Account for Expansion” section on page 3 for more
information.
