Advantages of Using the DeckWise® Extreme™ Family of Deck Fasteners.

Ability to run screws at a

45 degree angle through

hardwoods greatly increases

hold-down strength. Studies

have proven that screws have

more holding strength when

ran on an angle. is method

also maintains even gap

spacing while properly

allowing boards to expand

and contract with the seasons.

Screws Driven at a 45° Angle

Our line of deck fasteners oer a vast array of gap spacing

options. Whether installing air or kiln dried hardwood,

thermally modied softwood, composite or PVC decking,

we have the appropriate fastener with at least three dierent

gap spacing options for your particular decking.

Gap Spacing

Corrosion resistant, black oxide

stainless steel insert increases

hold down strength and eases

installation by helping to

prevent over-driving of screws.

Stainless Steel Insert

Symmetrical groove prole

allow boards to be reversed

and/or ipped to put the

best side up.

Cutting Decking Grooves

Many lumber yards now oer pregrooved

materials in stock.

-OR-

Cut the groove yourself using a standard

biscuit joiner or router with a 5/32" slot cutter.

Positioning Decking Grooves

Use With Exotic Hardwoods, ermally Modied Sowoods & Composite Decking.

Unlike most all-metal hidden deck fasteners, which can react with wood causing staining, the

Ipe Clip® is molded of a malleable plastic polymer resin coating (further adding UV & chemical

resistant qualities), allowing for the natural expansion/contraction of wood decking.

Our rigid stainless steel insert rmly holds decking to joists (up to 3X more hold-down strength

than other edge-mount deck fasteners), eliminating decking screws from pulling through as the

deck material expands.

Designed for exotic hardwoods, the color of the plastic resin also works to further camouage

and conceal our fasteners between the board gaps for a more sleek, upscale surface.

Why a plastic coating over a steel insert?

18 Installation: Hardwoods vs Composite/PVC Decking Explanation of Hardwood Installation Achieve Even Gap Spacing When DeckWise® hidden deck fasteners are screwed in at a 45° angle, this holds one side of the board in place while forcing all movement from the opposite side. This is the key to maintaining even gap spacing for the life of the deck while still allowing the natural movement of the hardwood.

Installation: Hardwoods vs Composite/PVC Decking Explanation of Composite/PVC Installation Achieve Even Gap Spacing The DeckWise® hidden deck fastening system is one that allows you to run the screws straight down when installing composite or PVC decking. This installation technique allows the composite or PVC decking to expand and contract on its length. This is optimal with composite and PVC decking because unlike hardwoods, this material tends to expand on its length rather than width.

20 Board Replacement Step By Step STEP 1: Cut the board that needs to be replaced down the center. If tight, making two cuts can help you remove the center portion of the board more easily. STEP 2: Remove the cut board and the fastener that was screwed through that board. Step Hint: Use a circular saw to make the two center cuts on the deck board that is to be removed. Step-by-step Directions: 1. Remove the center piece that was cut in the previous step. 2.

Dixie Dr. Vandalia, OH 45377 UPLIFT TESTING Introduction Special clips can be used in decking systems to secure boards to joist. The following clips were fastened to a small joist and pull tested until failure to determine their strength. Each test consisted of fastening a metal board to the frame using 6 clips and the screws provided.
