DISPELLING COMMON DECKING AND CLADDING MISCONCEPTIONS
As a technical advisory service , the TDCA receives enquiries daily . But too often we get asked the same questions that are fundamental to both timber decking and cladding .
We ’ re working hard to address them and provide resolution to common misconceptions by providing free resources on our website as well as on-hand guidance .
As well as our popular Timber Decking and Cladding Handbooks , the Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ ) section of our website has a host of solutions to common issues and if you can ’ t find the answers there then you can get in touch . Whenever we receive and deal with a new enquiry , if the subject is not already covered on our site , we create a new FAQ .
