Suitability depends on the substrates and conditions of your application. If you are unsure, use Application Support.
Surface preparation considerations
Substrate preparation depends on the deck material. When the substrate or decking system is uncertain, Iris reviews the installation before recommending a preparation step.
Common questions
Is bonding the same as caulking?
No. Bonding attaches the decking to the substrate; caulking seals the seams between planks. Each uses a different product.
When should the application be reviewed?
When the decking is synthetic, when a manufacturer specifies a system, or when the substrate is unclear.
