Deck Board Spacers
Do you want subtle even seams between your wooden decking boards? With Wovar Deck Board Spacers you ensure an equal distance between your decking boards. Maintaining the correct distance between deck boards is very important when making a decking. Wooden deck boards expand and contract. If you do not maintain the correct distance between decking boards, this can have serious consequences. For example, deck boards bend, bounce up or even break. The seasonal dimensional changes in wood differ per type of wood, so there is no one correct intermediate distance for all decking boards. Softwoods, for example, require a wider spacing than hardwoods. For a solid finish to your project, look at Deck Screws.
Keeping the correct spacing, with the help of our decking spacers, you will be able to avoid such problems. Wovar supplies spacers in 5 different thicknesses. Namely 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mm thick. You can easily order the spacers with our popular stainless steel deck screws.
Wovar's Deck Board Spacers
The Deck Board Spacers from Wovar are available in 5 different colours and thicknesses. Each colour has a different thickness. The thicknesses are as follows:
- Blue - 1 mm thickness
- Black - 2 mm thickness
- Red - 3 mm thickness
- White - 4 mm thickness
- Yellow - 5 mm thickness
The Correct Spacing for your Decking Boards
By combining different decking spacers you arrive at the desired spacing of your deck boards. For example, we recommend using 2 yellow spacers for a needle holder so that the distance between them is at least 10 mm. With hardwood, 8 mm spacing is sufficient and you can combine a yellow spacer with a red one. Below we have listed for you which spacing you can use with various popular types of wood.
- Rhombus fences, minimum 5 mm, for facades 7 mm
- Impregnated and larch Douglas fir decking boards minimum 10 mm
- Bankirai decking boards 8 mm, extra-wide 10 mm
- Ipé and padouk decking boards 6 mm
- Garapa and Kapur hardwood 10 mm
Tip: If you need several spacers to maintain the correct spacing, you can use adhesive tape to stick the spacers together. Always make sure you have 2 sets of spacers. For example, you can place a spacer at both ends of your decking board, making the laying of the deck boards a lot faster and easier.
Tip for installing your decking: order weed membranes to prevent weeds from growing under your decking.
