In standard decking installations an additional 5%-7% is recommended for cutting and fitting. However an increase in your waste percentage will be necessary to accomplish any of the following: Installing on the diagonal, angled or mitered cuts, borders and pattern work, or selecting for specific lengths, color or  character. In these instances, the waste factor may run 15% to 30% or even greater.

The higher the waste percentage you allow, the more selective you can be during the installation process, providing added assurance that the finished project will be to your ultimate satisfaction.

Although we strive for excellence in our products, natural wood products are never absolutely consistent or perfect. The irregularities that exist are perfectly normal as a product of nature and is in large part what makes real wood decking so appealing.

 Natures beauty ensures that no two boards are exactly the same. This results in a wonderfully attractive deck surface with genuine character and warmth which cannot be duplicated in artificial decking materials. If your preference is for a deck that is absolutely consistent or perfect, options other than real wood flooring should be pursued.
