- Does this board need hidden fasteners?
- The grooved edge is made for hidden fastener clips that sit in the groove. Clips and matching plugs are sold separately, so budget for them in the build.
- Can I use it for a ground-level deck?
- Yes, capped composite is made for outdoor decks. Keep it on a framed, ventilated substructure rather than directly on soil.
- How does Premier+ compare with TimberTech's lower lines?
- Premier+ has a more realistic grain and a stronger fade and stain warranty than the entry-level lines. It costs more per board than the basic capped boards.
- What joist spacing does it need?
- Plan on 16-in on-center joists or closer, especially for diagonal or stair applications. Check TimberTech's install guide for your specific layout.
- Does it need sealing or painting?
- No. The capped composite surface does not need sealing, staining or painting, which is the main savings over wood.
- Will the color fade?
- Capped composites resist fading far better than uncapped boards, and TimberTech backs Premier+ with a fade and stain warranty. Some slight color shift over years is normal.
- Where is the TimberTech Premier+ 1-in x 6-in x 12-ft Natural Oak Grooved Composite Deck Board cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $42.00, as of our latest check.
