Excellent for wood/plastic composites such as Trex® decking! The easiest and most economical hidden fastening system for composites on the market!

Offers the least conspicuous exposure when face screwing Ipe decking! The smallest head available in a type 316 S.S. trim head screw.

Similar type square drive screws do not compare in performance to the star recess of TrimTite screws. The square drive recess tapers into the screw head which causes cam-out or stripping when driving into dense materials. The star drive (Torx) recess goes straight into the screw head at 90 degrees preventing any slipping or cam-out when driving into dense materials.

 

COMPOSITE DECKING:

The disappearing act...

When countersunk into composite decking, these screws will virtually disappear!  The trick is to drive the screw an 1/8" below the surface without pre-drilling.  After countersinking, pinch the displaced material and hit with a hammer.  This will cause the excess plastic/wood to fill the hole making the fastener head disappear.  Magnetic screw guides are highly recommended to aid in driving and they also speed production.

       IPE DECKING:

Stainless Steel should only be used in Ipe decking as the wood is highly acidic and will cause a staining reaction to most coated fasteners. Pre-drilling and counter-boring is also highly recommended to prevent screw breakage and wood splitting.

TrimTite's feature a self- tapping, type 17 point. The Torx drive recess provides maximum holding power to the drive bit resulting in more torque for denser materials.

Finish work and trim/casework are also good applications for TrimTite screws.
