Hidden Composite Deck Fasteners and Their Benefits

When putting together a new space, consider using hidden composite deck fasteners. While there are more traditional options that may cost less upfront, having something that does not take away from the overall look or function of the space is typically more desirable. Aside from the improvements in the look of the planks, there are other functional benefits that tend to make this product even more appealing. Concealed From View When you cannot see the hidden composite deck fasteners, the space is smooth and looks better overall. While there are still gaps between the planks, they are consistent and uniform throughout. Even a person new to plank installation can use the guide provided or an online video to put all of the pieces together. It takes the guesswork out of separating the different planks correctly. Someone will need to look closely to see how the planks are connecting. More Comfortable to Walk On Looking to walk around barefoot? With hidden composite deck fasteners, you can be sure that there are no pieces sticking up that could cause a problem or create a situation that would be harmful for your feet. You can walk around completely confident that there will be no splinters or screws that are sticking up and causing you to trip or injury yourself while walking around. No hardware is above the planks. The surface is completely smooth. Easier Installation and Room for Repairs One of the best features for hidden composite deck fasteners is that a homeowner will not need to pre-drill. With other types of connectors, the homeowner or installation team need to measure for the right location for the screws, pre-drill and then hope that everything comes together. Concealed connectors already come with the correct spacing set up. The gaps are automatic and they look uniform throughout the entire space. Regardless of the brand of planks used, hidden composite deck fasteners can still be used. Over time, boards typically expand and contract and with the uniform gaps, there is plenty of room for this to happen without any type of buckling occurring. Sometimes, there are problems and a board will need to be replaced. When this happens, these connectors make it easy to remove just one board and put in a replacement. There is just enough room to get in and unscrew things in order to take the board out. Then, the new piece can go in without removing any of the other surrounding boards. This can be a real time saver when you have just one area that needs to be replaced.
