HIDDEN DECK FASTENERS
Traditionally, decking has been attached to the
joists using screws through the top of the deck board down into the
joists. Although this method is still widely used, the advent of
Hidden Deck Fasteners allows for a more clean look with no screw heads
showing. Hidden Fasteners attach to the side or bottom of the deck
board, or are set in grooves that are either cut or manufactured into
the edge of the deck boards. The plug system is a means of
covering the screw heads when screwing down from the top. Here are some top Hidden Deck
Fastener company's specifications.
