They say big things come in small packages. The latest product launch from decking giant Trex Company proves this point. Further reinforcing its legacy as the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, is launching a comprehensive collection of Trex-branded deck fasteners and accessories that will begin hitting the market this month.
With more than 120 SKUs, the new Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection includes solutions for every composite deck fastening and finishing need. 70mm Screws
Featuring more than 120 SKUs, the new Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection includes solutions for every composite deck fastening and finishing need — from color-matched screws and plugs to specially engineered bits, depth setters and clips — including several first-to-market innovations. The collection was well-researched and expertly engineered to make installation easier and more efficient while delivering a clean, cohesive aesthetic.
The new tools and accessories are fully compatible with all Trex decking products and have also been rigorously tested and proven to work with most decking options.
“This collection is poised to disrupt the industry by establishing Trex as a market leader in the decking hardware category,” said Adam Zambanini, executive VP and COO for Trex. “Adding fasteners and finishing components to our portfolio solidifies Trex as a true and total one-stop supplier for decking, railing, and accessories.”
New products will begin rolling out this month with the introduction of the patent-pending Trex Hideaway Butt Joint Clip . Designed specifically for use where deck boards meet over a single joist, this specialized clip ensures perfect alignment and a strong connection without the hassle of additional joists and fasteners. The extra-wide “wings” of the clip provide the same secure connection as two standard hidden fasteners, so that just one clip is required per side.
Additionally, the clip’s “shoulders” provide the support of two joists, eliminating the need for a sister joist in end-to-end deck board applications and resulting in quicker deck installation without compromising aesthetics.
Next up this spring will be the introduction of Trex Hideaway Deck Plugs and Trex Hideaway Fascia Plugs . These first-to-market collated plugs feature proprietary construction and are made from the same decking shell material, embossing rolls, and pigments used to create Trex decking and fascia. With these specially designed plugs, contractors no longer have to rely on locator tools to ensure safe and effective installation, giving them the ability to conceal fasteners anywhere on the deck.
The rest of the Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection will roll out later this year, including:
In addition to these new fasteners and accessories, Trex will continue to offer its universal starter and fastener clips, router bit, and award-winning Trex Universal Fastener One-Step Installation Tool .
“These new components join our already successful Trex Hideaway Hidden Fasteners to round out the most robust fastening offering of any composite decking brand,” noted Zambanini. “These additions also bring meaningful innovation to what has been a relatively stagnant category, delivering improved performance, durability, and ease of use. They afford greater quality control for installers and give our channel partners a competitive advantage by allowing them to deliver end-to-end solutions from one supplier for a seamless, worry-free deck-building experience from the joists up.”
