Shearing of the screws is prevented by the Dista strip 2.0 made of hard plastic. The shearing is caused by the swelling and shrinking of the wood, the so-called working of the wood. The warping of the wood is particularly pronounced in the boards' transverse direction. For this reason the screw can break off under strain, this is known as shearing . The Distance strip 2.0 is designed to prevent this.
It acts as a spacer and provides freedom of movement of 7 mm between the panel and the substructure. At the same time, the air circulation underneath the deck is promoted by the distance strip to prevent rotting. Normal wood screws, such as Terrassotec are used for installation.
