## Summary

A de-icing product must be compatible with the decking, fixings and surrounding construction. Permission for one board surface does not establish suitability for every connected material.

## Practical method

Ask for the current care instructions and identify the chemical composition rather than relying on a brand name alone. Consider runoff toward planting, drainage components and metal connections. For an illustrative entrance route, define application, cleanup and access control as part of the winter plan. Test only where the supplier permits and do not infer approval from an absence of immediate staining. Record treatments so any later change can be investigated with the correct information.

## Planning and verification

Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.

## Handover and maintenance

Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.

## Key points

Identified chemical
Assembly compatibility
Application and cleanup record

## Comparison

Design check | Evidence to record
Identified chemical | Show the requirement on the project drawing
Assembly compatibility | Obtain applicable product or design evidence
Application and cleanup record | Assign installation and maintenance responsibility

## De-icing chemicals on WPC: check the whole assembly — What should be confirmed before ordering?

A de-icing product must be compatible with the decking, fixings and surrounding construction. Permission for one board surface does not establish suitability for every connected material. Confirm the three project checks below with the supplier and the responsible designer. A sample establishes appearance, not approval of the complete installation. Identified chemical; Assembly compatibility; Application and cleanup record
