Verifying quality
The Decking Handbook has been produced as part of the TDCA / TTF partnership agreement – and on the back of the publication of the Timber Cladding Handbook last year , will help strengthen the market for both timber cladding and decking by providing sound , easy to follow information .
This is all in addition to the TDCA ’ s existing work within the timber cladding and timber decking industries . The organisation operates the DeckMark and CladMark quality schemes , which verify the quality of the materials that have been approved , or the high standards of the installer that has been accredited .
Both the DeckMark and CladMark schemes require a full audit and assessment of the business in question , prior to any accreditation being awarded followed by annual surveillance audits thereafter .
Free digital copies of the handbook are available as a pdf download to registered users of the TDCA website at : www . tdca . org . uk / publications .
