PLEASE NOTE:
TC-4S is designed for extreme hardwood decking (Ipe, Brazilian Redwood, Tiger Wood …). These materials are known as “Ironwoods”. These types of decking experience very little expansion and contraction in normal conditions and if properly cared for.

Decking that may shrink or expand more than 1/8 inch after installation should not be used with the TC-4S.
