• Mineral deposits that occur as a result of the evaporation of
solutions with high salt contents can leave white residues on a
deck surface. The primary cause(s) of this is due to the
water quality and/or surrounding environment. One should
avoid allowing water with a high mineral content to pool
on the deck profiles where possible. These residues can be
cleaned with the methods prescribed above. For any further
assistance please contact us at info@fortressbp.com�
Ice & Snow
• Typical materials used to clean ice and snow from surfaces
that contain calcium chloride and/or sodium chloride may be
used on I-Series boards. As discussed above, these may leave
a white residue on the deck. These can, however, be cleaned
with the methods prescribed above.
• Do not use metal shovels or other sharp objects on the
I-Series surface. Use a plastic shovel and rounded/beveled
tools when scrapping off ice or similar.
• Note that surface slip resistance will be reduced with ice,
snow or similar present and care should be taken on
these occasions�
Static Charge
• Materials with greater polarity that are in a dry and low
humidity environment will have a stronger charge upon
separation of the two materials.
• Static charge buildup can be reduced by grounding the profile
structure and/or increasing the humidity of the environment.
Static discharge can be avoided in particular areas
(for example, access points) with the placement of static
control grounding mats�
