Fastenmaster Cortex Concealed Fastening System

You build a FastenMaster Cortex deck the same way you would screw down any deck. Using your standard drill and the Cortex Setting Tool, drive the Cortex fastener to the preset level below the deck surface. It is important that the Cortex screw is driven perpendicular to the deck, with two screws per joist. The setting of the Cortex screw creates a cored-out hole in the deck surface. Place the Cortex Engineered Plug into the hole with the deck surface side up. Gently tap the plug into the cored-out hole until the plug is flush with the deck surface.

Applications: Kuiken Brothers carries color matches for AZEK Deck: Slate Gray, Brownstone, Clay

Deckmaster

DECKMASTER® is a patented fastening system that eliminates the damage to deck boards caused by other fastening systems. Screwing or nailing through the top of the deck boards is not only unsightly, but also allows the wood to crack, warp, split, rot, stain, pop-up and become a possible hazard to bare feet.

Applications: For use with Treated Lumber, Portico Eclipse, AZEK Deck, Cedar and Ipe. Hidden fastening systems not recommended for use with Meranti.

Ceramic Coated Screws for Treated Lumber
