Four parts, exploded
Everything between the slab and the walking surface, in the order it goes down. Each part is an original Tarimatec component, quoted and freighted with the boards.
Reading the diagram
- 1. Deck board. Hollow 150 x 27 mm or solid 149.2 x 20 mm, in one of 31 colours and three finishes.
- 2. Hidden clip. Stainless AISI 304L, or 316L for salt. Sets the gap and holds the board. No face screws.
- 3. Aluminium joist. 30 x 50 mm EN AW 6005 T6, at 350 mm centres maximum.
- 4. Pedestal. Adjustable from 35 to 255 mm, used wherever the deck sits above 150 mm.
- 5. Fascia. 180 x 10 mm colour-matched profile that closes the visible edge.
Not shown: start clips, squadra brackets, connector plates, end caps, corner profiles and anchors. They are all in the quote.

What one square metre needs
The manufacturer's per-square-metre kit for a regular rectangular layout, from the 2025 Tarifa. Treat it as a sanity check on a quote, not as a cutting list.
| Item | Per m2 | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Deck boards | approx. 2.6 boards | 150 x 27 x 2,500 mm, before cutting waste |
| Aluminium joist | approx. 3.5 linear metres | One joist every 350 mm maximum |
| Fixing clips | approx. 22 | One at every crossing of board and joist |
| Start clips | approx. 3 | Perimeter runs |
| Screws | approx. 25 | DIN 7504P stainless A2, 4.2 x 25 mm |
| Pedestals | by height | Minimum 600 mm between pedestal centres |
| Anchors | by substrate | Minimum 6 mm section, 35 mm penetration |
| Fascia | by perimeter | 180 x 10 x 3,000 mm, six screws per length |
These figures are the manufacturer's suggested quantities and are not binding. Curves, steps, hatches, planters and diagonal layouts need more joist, more clips and more brackets than the table shows. In high-humidity exposure the joist centre drops to 250 mm, which raises every fixing count.
Install it the way it was designed
The installation guide is the source of truth for expansion gaps, ventilation, pedestal layout and the perimeter details. It is a free download, no form in the way, alongside the datasheet, the care instructions, the warranty summary and the sustainability certificates.
