FASTENMASTER Collated Cortex for Trex Transcend Tiki Torch Decking with 2-1/2 Screws for 100 Feet

The FastenMaster Collated Cortex system for Trex Decking—covering 100 linear feet—offers a quick and efficient method to hide fasteners and screw heads during the installation of Trex deck boards, now completed in half the time. This innovative solution comes in strips of collated Cortex plugs, significantly reducing handling and saving precious time on the job site.

Not only does the fastener provide impressive holding power, but it also effectively conceals all fasteners across the entire deck, including the first and last boards, breaker boards, edges, and stairs. The use of the TORX ttap Drive System enhances the installation process, making it nearly impossible to strip out the fasteners while allowing for their easy removal when needed. A stability button ensures the fastener remains straight throughout installation, promoting accuracy and efficiency.

Equipped to handle large projects, the industrial-grade setting tool allows for the installation of up to 350 fasteners with a single Cortex setting tool. FastenMaster's Cortex system is designed for user-friendliness and comes with all necessary components, including screws, plugs, and setting tools. For optimal results, it is recommended to use an 18-volt cordless drill. However, users should exercise caution—impact drivers are not advisable for use on composite deck boards, whether they feature a capstock or not.

It’s important to note that pre-drilling is generally unnecessary for most of the installation process. However, pre-drilling does become essential when fastening within 1/2 inch of the ends of a board and at mitered joints. For these instances, a 3/16" drill bit should be employed for pilot holes.

The plugs are specifically designed to be compatible with Trex Transcend decking and are manufactured from actual Trex deck boards, ensuring a seamless match in color and texture. This guarantees that your finished deck not only functions well but also maintains an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

With each kit, you receive a comprehensive selection of fasteners: (224) screws, (300) plugs, and (2) setting tools. This ample supply facilitates a streamlined installation experience, allowing you to focus on achieving the high-quality finish your project deserves, all while enjoying the efficiency that comes from using FastenMaster’s advanced Cortex system.

Overall, the FastenMaster Collated Cortex for Trex Decking is an essential tool for any decking project. It simplifies the installation process, enhances the aesthetic quality of the deck by concealing fasteners, and provides a strong, durable connection between deck boards and joists. It's time to upgrade your installation experience and reach new heights of efficiency with FastenMaster.
