Boston home owners demand higher quality decks. The amazing Ipe Clip ® system has three different hidden deck fasteners. All of which offer you distinct advantages over using traditional methods of attaching your decking material to the joists of your deck.
Of course you're concerned about how your deck looks and don't want unsightly screws or nails showing on the surface of your deck. Who would? But there are several other reasons, some of them safety based, to use a hidden deck faster on your new deck. And if you are going to use a hidden deck fastener to attach your deck boards to the joists of your new deck, why not use the best?
Screws and nails don't let your boards expand and contract with the weather. The Ipe Clip ® holds the deck boards securely while still allowing it to expand and contract with the weather. With normal fastening methods this causes the hole around the screw to elongate/enlarge and the screw to work its way up and out. Since the hole is too big for a screw now, the only way to fix is to put another set of screws in the wood in a different hole…or do it right the first time and use a proper hidden fastener such as the Ipe Clip Extreme ®.
Here's several specific reasons why you should use Ipe Clip ® Deck Fasteners to attach your deck material to it's substructure. Whether it's Ipe Decking material or any other:
- No snagging toes on screw heads.
- Even less opportunity for splintering caused by breaking the surface of the wood with a screw.
- Hidden deck fasteners, while not 100% hidden (can be seen slightly when peering between the edges of the deck boards), come in colors to match your decking material.
- Eliminates dangerous "Nail Pops"
- No stains on your decking material from screw or nail corrosion
- Automatically spaces your deck boards to the perfect sized gap between boards
- Up to 3 times the strength of traditional fastening methods.
