TimberTech DrySpace Under-Deck Drainage System

TimberTech’s DrySpace system turns wasted under-deck areas into usable outdoor living space by channeling water away from the deck structure. The system consists of V-panels, F-brackets, and combo brackets that work together to create a watertight ceiling beneath existing decks.

The interlocking V-panels form continuous water channels that direct rain and snowmelt to the deck perimeter. F-brackets secure the panels between joists while combo brackets handle both panel attachment and downspout connections. This design keeps the space below completely dry while protecting deck framing from moisture damage.

TimberTech PVC cladding carries a Class A Flame Spread Rating per ASTM E84 testing. The cladding is also WUI (Wildland-Urban Interface) compliant and holds an ignition-resistant designation, making it approved for fire-rated wall installations.

Q: What widths and lengths does TimberTech PVC cladding come in?

TimberTech PVC cladding is available in three widths: 3.5 inches (narrow), 5.5 inches (standard), and 7.25 inches (wide). Standard lengths are 12 feet and 16 feet, with 20-foot boards available for decking applications only.

Q: How much cooler does TimberTech’s Stay-Cool Technology keep the boards?

TimberTech’s Stay-Cool Technology reduces heat absorption by up to 30% compared to traditional composite materials. This keeps the PVC cladding surface temperature significantly lower in direct sun exposure.

Q: What warranty does TimberTech offer on their PVC cladding?

TimberTech provides a Lifetime Limited Product Warranty plus a 50-Year Limited Fade & Stain Warranty for residential installations. Commercial installations receive a 30-Year Limited Product Warranty and 30-Year Limited Fade & Stain Warranty.

Q: What fasteners should be used with TimberTech PVC cladding?

TimberTech recommends Cortex Hidden Fasteners - 2.5” for wood substrates and 2” for block or masonry applications. For coastal installations, use 316 stainless steel fasteners to resist corrosion, with minimum 2 fasteners per furring strip and 3 fasteners at board ends for wide boards.

Q: Can TimberTech PVC cladding be bent for curved installations?

Yes, TimberTech PVC boards can be heat-bent to create curved architectural facades. This feature allows contractors to form custom radius applications without compromising the board’s structural integrity or warranty coverage.
