How to lay the decking side up is one of the more interesting subjects for carpenters. Should it be positioned with the core side facing the joyful elderly guy or the unhappy old man? The nice side up, perhaps? Answering that question is difficult and partially to your taste, but it also varies from situation to situation. Ebygghandel.se has it all.
or is it concave?
For many, the perfect upper is of course one that is convex, easy to walk on, and which also swiftly drains rainfall. On the other side, concave decking may provide a danger of injury due to its projecting edges. The elderly guy is smiling, which increases the chance that the yearly rings will be parallel to the surface and will cause it to be concave. We spoke with Johan Fröbel of Svenskt Trä about the assembly question, and he responded with some useful guidance.
A trolley side up that is near to the ground without a roof.
The relative humidity on the bottom will be close to 100% in this area. The upper surface’s moisture level changes dramatically, from being sun-dry in the summer to being damp after rain. The cart will be flat the rest of the year and concave, bowling upwards, in the summer. The yearly rings’ orientation is therefore irrelevant for this kind of träkomposit.

The underbelly also has a relative humidity of close to 100%. The summer will be largely dry, while the rest of the year will be largely humid. Perhaps 20% moisture content In such case, the trolley side up will remain concave all year round, but mostly in the summer. You may somewhat lessen the concavity here by selecting a contented senior.
Decking side up on a balcony without a roof
Here, you should anticipate a somewhat dry underbelly with a moisture level of 20 to 25 percent. When it rains, the top will be damp rather than dry. The trolley side up is concave during dry and hot spells and convex or flat during other seasons.
Decking side up on a roofed balcony.
The underbelly is also quite dry in this area, with a moisture level of 20 to 25 percent. The summer will be dry on top, while the remainder of the year will be mostly humid. Depending on how successfully the roof and potential walls shield against rain and snow, the träkomposit will be flat throughout the summer and maybe convex throughout the rest of the year. A bitter old guy may provide convex decoys here throughout the year.
Conclusions:
- The old guy smiling on a deck close to the earth. No matter what, ceilings are of little consequence. decreased durability and an increased danger of knitting needles.
- Old man on a trolley side up, grumbling, on balconies. Convex decking is likely to result, at least when the balcony is in use (summer).
- The splinter side is more durable than the core side. Water pockets and the contact area between the deck and the underlay or carrying line are where rot damage initially appears. You should, at such a risk, flip the core side upward, i.e. the elderly guy who is joyful.
- Turn the core side down, i.e. the sour old guy, if you want a strong deck.
- Choose a deck without a core, or just sideboards, if you want the most durability possible.
- Always laying the excellent side up, or the nicest side of the board is another practical method.
- Everything from blocks to 3 mm is advised when it comes to gap size. The advice is to go through cases 1-4 as follows: A deck can be placed close to the ground with a certain gap. Install the block on balconies.
