Assembly instructions for terrace and facade construction
These assembly instructions can be used for both terrace and facade construction.
The start
Attention: Read the instructions for use carefully before using the products!
Observe the safety and warning notices and adhere to the building and safety regulations that apply to you!
If you are building a standard deck (decking only) you can ignore step 17/01 - 17/11.
Tip: We recommend that you watch each of our videos, as we deal with different circumstances in each video
You can see a few possible solutions directly. With the combination of video and instructions, you are ready to build your terrace!

Position the substructure (abbreviation: UK)
(In the case of a combination terrace (porcelain stoneware and wood), first lay the substructure for the porcelain stoneware and then the substructure for the planks. This way you can quickly find the right positions.) Read step 17/10 beforehand!
Attention: If you had to lengthen the substructure strips, make sure that the connection point is always supported. The connection point must never be loaded free-standing! Risk of breakage!
Important for steps 12-15:
If your board has a width (B) of 115 mm or more, position the “Easy-Use” connector in step 2 in the middle of the substructure as indicated.
If your boards are 85 - 115 mm wide (B), position the “Easy-Use” connector in step 2 (Fig. A) flush with the edge of the substructure.
In this case the substructure must be at least 50 mm wide!
(for a combination terrace we recommend 60 mm wide substructures)
Attention: The boards must have a width (B) of at least 85 mm, otherwise the “Easy-Use” connector cannot be used.
Position the “Easy-Use” connector in the middle of the substructure as shown in the illustration.
Important:
In the complete structure, the recesses (X) are always pointing downwards! This so that no water can collect in it. Risk of breakage in winter!
This does not apply if you use the “Clip in Fence” for stone slabs, the recess is then under the stone slab.
The distance (A) between the connector and the wall should be about 8-10 mm.
Simply use another connector (2) as a spacer.
Screw the connector with the supplied
Self-drilling screws 4.2x19 mm (S) on the substructure.
Just that one screw.
For aluminum, we recommend pre-drilling with Ø x 3 mm.
Attention: Pay attention to the torque! The plastic must not deform, bend, tear or even break!
Loosen the screw (by hand!) Until you can sluggishly push the connector out and in.
The "first-line" position support
Attention: Read the instructions for use carefully before using the products!
Observe the safety and warning notices and adhere to the building and safety regulations that apply to you!
6
Repeat these steps for all substructure strips.
7
Attach the “First-Line Positioning Aid” (P) to as many substructures as your plank is long.
8
Place the plank (1) upside down against the positioning aids (P).
9
Push the board (1) with the spacer (3) against the wall along its length.
10
Position the “Easy-Use” connector (E) as shown in the picture and screw it tight with the supplied 4.2 x 19 mm self-drilling screws (S).
Repeat this step along the entire length of the board.
Attention: Pay attention to the torque! The plastic must not deform, bend, tear or even break!
11
Pull out the board in the direction of the arrow.
Remove the "First-Line Positioning Aid" (P)
12
Put two “Easy-Use” connectors together as shown in the picture.
13
Tip: Before you get started, read step 14.5 first
If your board is wider (step 1.5, dimension: B) than 115 mm, you can attach the second “Easy-Use” connector (5) in a line (dashed) to the first (4).
Place the plugged-together connector, position it as far as it will go (C), align it in a line and screw it tight (S).
14
If your board has a width (step 1.5, dimension: B) of 85 - 115 mm, you have to attach the “Easy-Use” connectors next to each other (dashed).
In this case it is necessary that the substructure
is at least 40 mm wide! (U)
Place the plugged-together connector on the stop
position (C), align staggered and screw tight (S).
Make sure that the distance (A) is not greater than the width of your substructure strips.
14.5
Viewed from the top, the groove (N) must now be free-standing.
Tip:
Do not press the holder when tightening in steps 13/14 too tight to stop (detail C).
After screwing in the first screw a few turns, slide the mated connectors again slightly against the direction of the arrow (13/14).
So the groove is securely exposed.
15
Screw both connectors tight along the entire length of the board.
16
Turn the board over and push it with the recess (X) under the screw (S).
Align the distance between the planks and the wall (W) before continuing with step 17. For this you can clamp an “easy-use” connector between the wall and the floorboard, this automatically results in a joint width of 8mm. (F) in step 17.
17
For the time being, screw only screw (S1) to the substructure along the entire length of the board from the front connector (V).
We recommend screwing the first, then the last, and then the remaining connectors to the substructure.
Do not forget to remove the clamped connector (F) before the screws (S1) are fully tightened.
For standard terraces, you can skip step 17/01 - 17/11.
The "Clip in Fence"
17/01
Put a “Clip in Fence” (CF) into the everywhere
“Easy-Use” connector where a stone slab is to be placed.
17/02
Prepare more “Clip in Fence” connectors.
There are two types of construction. If possible, place the area (F) under the stone.
17/03
Place your first stone on the connector and underlay it with the prepared connectors.
17/035
The connectors (gray), which border on the long side of a board, must be installed as shown in the illustration.
This is the only way to integrate the “Next-Line Potision Support” into the
Insert the elongated hole (L) and simply attach the next board.
17/04
Once the position is found, fix the connector with the first screw
17/05
Remove the stone plate and screw in the screws (S) underneath
17/06
Now put a rubber on where the stone rests.
This serves as "footfall sound insulation", since stone and wood are never completely straight.
You now also have the chance to straighten the stone with the gummies and to level out any unevenness in the substructure.
Place the rubber with the grooves facing up.
17/07
Now put the stone back in.
Tip: Stand on the stone and check whether it is firmly seated or teetering. Align the stone so that it has a firm, quiet fit.
17/08
Repeat this step until the first row of stones has been laid.
17/09
Next, install the planks as described in steps 18-30.
17/10
When attaching the boards, make sure that the side of the board adjacent to the stone does not have a connector to the substructure of the stone (here marked with (X)).
Otherwise this would collide with the connector on the stone.
The distance (A) of the substructure bar (1) is chosen so that it is only about 10-15 cm at the end of the board. This means that no further connector is required at the end of the board!
17/11
With this system and the procedure described above, create the pattern that you have provided for your purposes.
The end (step 31-40 or step 31 / 01-37/01) can be solved in several ways.
It is best to have a look at our videos.

18
Insert the “Next-Line” position clips (N) into the elongated holes of the “Easy-Use” connector along the entire length of the board. (E)
19
Lay the next board upside down on the substructure and align it with the spacer (3) lengthways to the wall.
20
Push the board up to the stop (arrow) on the positioning clips
21
Plug the next “Easy-Use” connector onto the
“Next-Line” position clips as shown in the picture and
Screw the connector along the entire length of the board with the
Self-drilling screws 4.2 x 19 mm (S).
22
You have now completely screwed on the connectors in the top row (O).
23
For the bottom row (U), screw on another "Easy-Use" connector (approximately in the middle) in each space.
Proceed as described in step 24.
24
Screw in the connectors on the bottom row
2 self-drilling screws 4.2 x 19 mm at the positions marked (S).
Attention:
The distance (E) should be about 1.5 cm so that the board does not tear. To do this, insert a screw in (Y) and then press the connector in the direction of the arrow against the stop. Test this on a scrap piece. If the distance is not sufficient, enlarge it or pre-drill.
25
Lay the plank you just finished on its side and remove any positioning clips from step 18.
26
Fasten the first board with the screw (2) along its entire length.
The "Next-Line Position Clip"
The "spacer"
Attention: Read the instructions for use carefully before using the products!
Observe the safety and warning notices and adhere to the building and safety regulations that apply to you!
27
After the first board is completely fixed, place the second board (2) on the already screwed connectors (E) of the first board and align them with the spacers as indicated in step 28.
28
30
If you want to use a board spacing of 8mm, simply insert another “Easy-Use” connector into the previously installed board of the previous board. (Picture A)
For smaller or larger plank spacing, see step 29.
Align the board in the directions of the arrows and secure it
only with the first screw (S1) as in step 17.
Repeat steps 17-28 until you get to the last 3 boards.
Then continue reading from step 30.
29
If you choose a smaller or larger plank spacing,
you can use our “Customized spacer” (Fig. B).
This will be made according to your wishes.
Align the board in the directions of the arrows and secure it
only with the first screw (S1) as in step 17.
Repeat steps 17-28 until you get to the last 3 boards.
Then continue reading from step 30.
You have installed all the boards except for the last 3.
Now divide the last distance (F) so that the last board has a minimum width of 85 mm. You may have to saw 3 or 4 boards to get a uniform picture.
The end
Attention: Read the instructions for use carefully before using the products!
Observe the safety and warning notices and adhere to the building and safety regulations that apply to you!
-> If your last board is less than 85 mm wide, proceed as follows Described in the following steps 31/01 - 37/01.
31
Place the “Easy-Use” connector flush with the substructure
32
Tighten the connector and loosen the screw again until you can pull the connector out with difficulty in the direction of the arrow.
33
Remove the connectors and insert the “Next-Line” position supports along the entire length of the board.
34
Place the last plank with the underside up under the “First-Line” position supports and then lay the connectors (A) at least flush, but better shifted 1-2 mm (L) inwards. (This will give you more air when threading in step 38)
34.1
Place the hold-downs (B) in the spaces as in
Step 23 - 24 described.
Screw the connectors tight along the entire length of the board.
The last floorboard is now prepared.
Remove the plank and first-line position supports and set them aside.
35
Now assemble the penultimate board. Proceed as you would with any other. Make sure, however, that the connector (A) is offset from the screw (S).
In this way you ensure that the connectors of the last board do not collide with the connectors of the now penultimate board.
Attention:
Do not screw the board to the substructure yet!
35.1
Tip:
If you have previously placed the connectors in the middle and now need a row with staggered connectors, you only have to move the board by the dimension (M) before you attach / screw the connectors on.
36
If the penultimate board is in place, only fasten it with
Screw (S), then slightly loosen the screw again and remove the spacers (D).
Now push the plank (cumbersome!) Back onto the front plank in the direction of the arrow as far as it will go. The harder the board is to push, the better it will hold in the end!
37
In this initial situation, you now bring in the last plank.
38
If the board width has been correctly calculated and sawn to size, you have enough space to insert the last board as shown in the illustration.
39
Now push the last and penultimate board back into the screws (S) from steps 35 + 36.
40
Wedge the two boards until they are securely in place.
Congratulation! Your terrace is now ready!
The end - Solution for boards with a width of less than 85 mm
Attention: Read the instructions for use carefully before using the products!
Observe the safety and warning notices and adhere to the building and safety regulations that apply to you!
-> In the following steps 31/01 - 37/01 we describe a possible procedure if your last board is less than 85 mm wide.
31/01
If you have chosen the last board so that the “Easy-Use” connector is too long, either mount it offset
(as in step 13/14) or saw it off as shown in Figure S.
32/01
Use an “Easy-Use” connector as a spacer (A) to the wall and screw the connector (V) for the last board to the substructure with the screw (S).
Make sure that connectors (V) and (A) are in line with each other (arrows)
There must also be a distance (X) - about 1 cm - between connector (V) and connector (L).
Tighten the screw (S) so tightly that it is difficult to remove the connector (V) again. Do this on all substructures.
33/01
Place the last plank in position with the bottom side up.
Align them with the spacers.
You have removed the (sawn off) connector from step 32.
Put other connectors under the board so that it is level.
34/01
Place an “Easy-Use” connector (E) in a line on the other two (A + B) and mark the position on the side
(dashed line).
Now you know where to mount the (sawn off) connector.
35/01
Place the (sawn off) connector (V) at the marked position.
ATTENTION: The recesses (X) must point upwards!
Screw on the (sawn off) connector along the entire length of the board with a screw (S1).
Attach connectors in the gaps as well. (Step 23)
36/01
Remove all spacers and all connectors that you have placed underneath so that the board is level.
Turn the board over and push it with the middle connector (M) first under the board (C). Then slide it back in the direction of the arrow under screw (1) from step 32.
The harder you have set the screws (1), the better the board will hold.
37/01
To be on the safe side, you can now press another connector (gray) or, in the case of individual joint widths, a wedge sawn from a cut of the floorboard into the gap.
The last board is now firmly connected.
