Hidden deck fasteners

If you prefer the look of a deck surface without exposed nails or screw-heads, then consider using a hidden fastener system. Using hidden deck fasteners is a great way to hide unsightly screw holes in both pressure treated decking and composite wood decking. These deck accessories can be used on virtually any type of decking material, from composite wood and pressure treated wood, to tropical hardwoods.

The most popular hidden fasteners are made of UV resistant plastic or metal. These hidden fasteners include Equator (made specifically for composite decking), TigerClaw, Eb-Ty and Lumber Loc.

High quality hidden deck fasteners install from the top of the composite or wood deck and allow for natural expansion and contraction—like a floating floor. These hidden fasteners virtually eliminate the need for predrilling and automatically gap each board with the proper spacing—making installation quick and easy.

With a hidden fastener system, you'll give your deck an extra clean touch without any visible blemishes like nail pops or mushrooms.
