- Can this board be used for stair treads or picture framing?
- No. The grooved edges are made for hidden fasteners between boards. Use a solid-edge Legacy board for borders, stairs and fascia.
- Does it need to be sealed or stained?
- No. The cap protects all four sides, so routine cleaning is all it needs. Sealing is not required.
- How is it fastened?
- The grooves take TimberTech's hidden fastener clips, which attach to the joists and hold the boards without face screws.
- How does Legacy compare with Trex?
- Both are capped composites. Legacy offers a variegated, wood-grain look and a four-sided cap, while Trex lines differ in color range, texture and warranty terms.
- What joist spacing does it need?
- Follow TimberTech's installation guide for Legacy, which specifies maximum joist spacing and expansion gaps. Wrong spacing can void the warranty.
