Wallbarn offers solutions to installation of timber decking on balconies and roof decks with the development of a flat-headed and joist-headed support pads, specifically for timber decking.

With the increasing amount of timber decks being laid, Wallbarn needed to ensure that its fast, simple and durable system of suspended deck finishing applied to timber as well as paving slabs.

Fixing timber decking is fast and easy using our system.

These support pads are similar to the ASP range, but manufactured with a set of joist peg fittings placed either 40mm or 60mm apart. The adjustable supports are placed 600mm apart and are adjusted to accommodate the fall in the roof deck, and the joist bearers are simply slotted between the joist holders, placed at 40mm or 60mm apart.

The joist framework is constructed and secured to take the upper surfacing. Pipework and cables can be concealed beneath the framework effectively. None of the wood will come into contact with standing water, reducing the chances of rotting and extending the life of the system considerably.

There is no risk of them moving off the head piece and no bonding or fixings onto the support itself are required.

The top decking is then fixed onto the joists using ordinary wood screws. Because of the ease of construction, roofing contractors can complete these projects themselves, rather than specialist (and often expensive) sub-contracting carpenters.

For larger timber joists, irregular sections and or corners, the flat headed support pads can be used on top of the supports.

We recommend that support pads are placed a maximum of 600mm apart to eliminate the risk of the timber joists bouncing and weight overloading by too much span.

Unlike laying joists onto concrete or metal blocks, or even onto timber itself, by using Wallbarn support pads installers can be sure that there is no risk of damage to the waterproof layer below.

Because Wallbarn adjustable pads are a standardised design, applicators are able to lay timber decking and paving using the same type of products, creating attractive areas quickly and easily.

Slope Correctors
Slope correctors can also be used with TD range of supports, ensuring completely flat, stable decking.

These wedge shaped levellers clip into the base plate and ensure the slabs do not rock or tilt as the slope is corrected at the bottom, so the force of gravity is still going directly vertical. Therefore the top of the pad is totally flat.

They are available in 3 sizes:

• 1% or 0.57 °
• 2% or 1.11 °
• 3% or 1.71 °

Please note these slope correctors are available for support pads 50-70mm and higher
