LumberLoc™ Hidden Deck Fasteners

As exotic hardwoods grow in popularity, and as technology brings about new materials like composite lumber, Huck Lumber, or other plastic lumber variations, conventional methods of deck installation can cause decks to fail. As the temperature fluctuates, these new

types of lumber expand and contract at different rates than traditional cedar and in some cases cause extreme movement. Failure of decks due to movement can be avoided with Lumber Loc hidden deck fasteners! Lumber Loc hidden deck fasteners are a biscuit-style "invisible fastener" with patented expansion wings. These wings are extremely important because they allow for movement on the width of the plank up to 1/8", as well as allow the plank to slide lengthwise in the slot. Lumber Loc hidden deck fasteners are easier and faster to install. There is no pre-drilling, because the screw threads through the fastener and drives perpindicular into the joist. With the extended driver provided in every box, you can secure 2 boards at once hastening the installation process. Now available with black screws.

Whether you're a contractor or a supplier you should continually educate yourself on all products available in your field. The trends in decking lean towards composites and their counterparts, which means you need to prioritize finding the best hidden deck fastener out there. Be diligent, check prices then call us for the best rates.
