Why Are WPC Decking Joists Important? The quality of a WPC decking installation depends not only on the decking boards but also on the substructure underneath them. WPC joists are laid beneath the decking at specified intervals, creating a level framework onto which the decking boards are secured. Correct joist positioning helps support the boards, distribute pressure across the deck and minimise excessive flexing or movement. Decking clips are then positioned between the boards and fastened into the joists, creating a neat installation with the fixings largely concealed from the finished decking surface.  

Suitable Applications: Our WPC decking support joists are suitable for balconies, terraces, patios, pergolas, swimming pool surrounds, rooftop decks, garden areas, outdoor entertainment spaces, restaurants, hotels, resorts and commercial decking projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a WPC decking joist?

A WPC decking joist is a support profile installed underneath composite decking boards. It forms part of the substructure that supports the decking and provides fixing points for clips and screws.  

Are WPC joists installed underneath the decking?

Yes. The joists are positioned below the decking boards, with the boards typically running across the joists and being secured using the appropriate decking clips and screws.  

What spacing should be used between WPC decking joists?

This should follow the specification for the particular decking board and installation. Many WPC systems specify joist centres in roughly the 300–400mm range, while some require closer spacing depending on board profile, load and installation angle. It is important to follow the decking manufacturer’s specification rather than applying one spacing to every project.  

Do you supply the clips and accessories required for installation?

Yes. Buckle clips, spacers, screws, stainless steel clips and WPC decking joists are readily available alongside our WPC decking panels.
