At Trex, innovation has inspired every one of our performance-grade outdoor living products, right down to our efficient installation techniques, smart tools and hidden deck fasteners—an elegant upgrade to traditional stainless steel deck screws
Featured Hardware: Trex Hidden Deck Fasteners
Trex Hideaway® Hidden Fastening System
In pursuit of the perfect deck, all Trex® decking lines come with a hidden installation option. When using grooved-edge boards, our hidden deck fastening system installs between the deck boards, fastening them to the joists with no visible deck screw heads on the walking surface. This precision also creates perfectly consistent spacing between the boards for a flawless look across the entire deck. This system includes a few simple components:
The Universal Fastener
This self-gapping hardware is the main fastener component that attaches two boards together. It features a stainless steel deck screw already set in the fastener for increased durability and easier installation. Available in versions for Trex Elevations® steel framing or for wood framing.
