A composite clip for attaching decking. The clip includes a bottom and a top. The bottom is made of a first material. The top is made of a second material. The first material of the bottom is different than the second material of the top. The first material of the bottom engages in the second material of the top during manufacturing so as to attach the bottom to the top and form the gangable composite clip without a need for any other means to attach the bottom to the top.

A deck system includes a first flooring board, a second flooring board, and a water-resistant strip positioned between the first flooring board and the second flooring board. The first flooring board has an upper surface, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side. The second flooring board has an upper surface, a third side, and a fourth side opposite the third side, the third side of the second flooring board being in spaced apart facing relation with the second side of the first flooring board. The water-resistant strip has a first edge and a second edge. The first edge of the strip is secured to the second side of the first flooring board, and the second edge of the strip is secured to the third side of the second flooring board.

Aspects of a composite deck board assembly are disclosed including: (i) a plurality of deck board panels each including an extruded or pultruded panel body and a chemically bonded use surface, the extruded or pultruded panel body including an internal screw boss and defining a side including an overhang and an opposite side including a ledge; (ii) a finishing feature; and (iii) a plurality of mechanical fasteners including mechanical fasteners for use with the ledge and mechanical fasteners for use with the finishing feature, for assembling the deck board, wherein the overhang is configured to engage with an adjacent deck board panel of the deck board, wherein the finishing feature is configured to engage with the overhang, and wherein the finishing feature is configured to straddle at least the first deck board panel and the second deck board panel of the deck board.

A set of parts for installing a floor covering includes a plurality of floor panels and a plurality of profiles. The floor panels are provided for being installed over an underlying surface. In an installed condition, the bottom major surface of each of the floor panels is elevated from the underlying surface by means of the corresponding profile. The floor panels at least at their top major surface include a decor formed by a print, a wood veneer or a stone veneer.

A deck clip system, in which a deck clip or series of deck clips are provide for rapid deployment of deck boarding on joists. The deck clips have a base element and engaging elements. The base element can be affixed to a joist and the engaging elements extend from the base vertically to engage planks or deck boarding. The planks may have recesses configured to receive the engaging elements. The clips may be arranged or disposed into a strip for even faster deployment.

A composite clip for attaching decking. The clip includes a bottom and a top. The bottom is made of a first material. The top is made of a second material. The first material of the bottom is different than the second material of the top. The first material of the bottom engages in the second material of the top during manufacturing so as to attach the bottom to the top and form the gangable composite clip without a need for any other means to attach the bottom to the top.

The invention relates to a device for fixing, to a top face of a floor batten, cladding elements each having at least one edge provided with a groove, said device comprising at least one body configured so as to be fixed to the floor batten and a clamp having a rod intended to cooperate with said body and with a head, the head being configured so as to cooperate with at least one groove in at least one cladding element in order to provide the locking of said cladding element, characterised in that the fixing device comprises at least one holder intended to be at least partly inserted in the body and in a side of the floor batten so as to fix the body on the side of the floor batten and so that a traction or compression applied to said head exerts a shear force at the holder.

A composite clip for attaching decking. The clip includes a bottom and a top. The bottom is made of a first material. The top is made of a second material. The first material of the bottom is different than the second material of the top. The clip has a generally T shape in a side view with a central bore passing through the top member and the bottom member, and a series of posts that extend from the top surface of the bottom member to pass through a corresponding through bore in the top member.

Novel joint devices and systems are disclosed. In one aspect, a joint member for an exterior floor covering can include a body portion, at least one tongue portion extending from the body portion, and at least one opening extending through the body portion. The opening can be configured to pass a liquid directly from an upper surface of the exterior floor covering through the body portion of the joint member.
