TimberTech® is focused on fasteners. Opt for the best fastening systems to install your deck. These high-quality fasteners give decks added strength and integrity for years to come. Square-shoulder boards allow for top-down fastening, while grooved boards are designed for hidden clip fasteners. TimberTech® Cortex® Screw and Plug is a hidden fastener system featuring a high quality, ACQ-approved, specialty deck screw with a Torx® ttap® drive system.
Included color-matched plugs are made from TimberTech® Advanced PVC by AZEK® Landmark Collection™ deck boards to hide the fastener. It can be used on the entire deck surface, including stairs and perimeters, where other hidden fasteners cannot. Installation requires pre-drilling with a 7/32 in. drill bit. This pack includes 350 screws, 400 plugs, and 2 bits.
