Maybe someone who has installed this product can help me out...

Questions:

1. Is it possible to use a breaker board with the Timbertech Floorizon on decks that are more than 20' wide or will I need to butt ends and stagger?
2. Did you use solid Twin Finish deck plank for your stair treads?

We always kept the Floorizon under 20' or ran them on a angle

The seam board would be tuff with the Floorizon. Maybe use a solid board and adjust your framing to the height of the Floorizon or staggered seams. The treads would be easier with Twin Finish or on Timber Tech's Instructions they call for a blocker under the ripped Floorizon tread. They also have starter and a end cap for the Twin Finish Colors

Here is the link to their instructions

I have done it... And the HO wanted no surface screws... So we did it. We ripped down lumber to fit between the grooves and screwed through the sides of the grooves into the lumber. Then we attached from below into the blocking. I dont have any pics of that project... I should get some it was a sweet project. This project had no steps so not a problem with the 5/4 but that is what we would have used.

I once used Floorizon to butt seams and won't ever do it again. The material is really just 3/8" thick so it likes to warp a bit at the seams and never looks good. I am in the middle of a project right now with TT Floorizon teak decking and a solid 5/4 picture frame board. I will try to post pics up tonight.

Maybe skip the Floorizon & use all TT TwinFinish?

I'm not a fan of Floorizon in 100% exposed conditions in my area. Put a roof over it and you are OK.

I would use regular TF boards if I were you.
