Questions and Answers for NewTechWood 1/12 ft. x 1 ft. Quick Deck Composite Deck Tile Outside Corner Trim in Madrid Red (2-Pieces/Box)

A:  Hello Condo. The actual dimension is 7/8 inch x 13.95 inch.

A:  It just an odd length because the ends are cut on an angle to make a perfect corner and also that it lines up perfectly with the tiles so that the edge can abut next to a straight edge finish piece

A:  It sounds like you are referring to our deck tile accessories (http://www.newtechwood.com/deck-tile-naturale.html#accessories). These are available as fascia or trim. Fascia are flat edges and the trim are sloped edges. If you are referring to beveled edges, you would therefore want to use the trim seen here: https://www.homedepot.com/p/NewTechWood-1-6-ft-x-1-ft-Quick-Deck-Composite-Deck-Tile-Straight-Trim-in-Icelandic-Smoke-White-4-Pieces-Box-US-QD-SF-ZX-SW/205881164. In fact, upon reviewing the deck tile installation video (https://youtu.be/a1fpinb5fJs), the deck tile trim does appear to be installed.

A:  This deck gets pretty hot in the direct sun as does all composite decking. It is also slippery when wet. You will get tremendous expansion and it will probably get too hot to have bare skin touch it.

A:  Hi, while I am unable to find the heat gain for this product, the heat buildup value is available here: http://www.newtechwood.com/us/pdf/Decking_Naturale_Solid_Technical_Sheet.pdf. With that said, while the material will get hot, like any composite, your experiences may vary based on your environment. If you would like to request a sample for testing, please do so using the form here: http://www.newtechwood.com/us/contact.html. If you would like the specific heat gain value, please reach out via the contact page and I can direct your question to our manufacturing team.

A:  While this may be possible, we would strongly recommend following best practices, which would encourage this being installed over a more stable surface such as a concrete deck or an existing wood deck.

A:  This is for our deck tiles not for actual deck boards. We have boards that are made to finish the ends of decks.

A:  You do not need to do anything, except for some soap and water.. You can power wash if you would like at a low setting.
