Silca Grate™ Remodel / Resurface Instructional PDF

Remodel / Resurface Installation.

  • 1. Remove all horizontal flooring, 5/4 treated lumber, composite lumber etc….from existing deck.
  • 2. It is recommended that framing and footing be inspected by qualified building afficial with state and local codes.
  • 3. If you have ample threshold height you may screw the Silca Grate™ on top of your floor joist. Much thought must be given to the stack height and desired finish floor height.
  • 4. If you DO NOT have ample threshold height you need to add a 2x4 cleat on each side of the floor joist.(note: maintain correct height while fastening on joist).
  • 5. Trim 1 ½” off the Silca Grate™. In lay Silca Grate™ on top of 2x4 cleat. Note: Silca Grate™ has two sets of screw holes on one side of the Silca Grate. Trim the side with two holes.
  • 6. Screw Silca Grate™ in place.
  • 7. Install Geotextile blanket (ONLY if you are going to use Polymeric sand between the joints of your bricks or pavers).
  • 8. Treated Lumber Border – Use a wider dimension lumber for your rim joist. (i.e. 2x12 for rim joist standard joist may be 2x8 this all depends on your brick and paver thickness. – Think this through!) Allow rim joist to be above Silca Grate™ enough to hold your brick or paver.
  • 9. To finish you may wrap/cover the exterior border with aluminum or vinyl.
