Simpson Strong-Tie is launching a screw that is designed to work in all types of composite decking as well as encapsulated composite.
The Deck-Drive DCU Composite screw provides a cleaner, less-noticeable installed appearance because of its head design. The screws are offered in bulk and collated for use with the Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system.
Other key features include:
- Inverted upper threads ensure the screw is seated properly and consistently
- Tri-lobe thread design reduces damage to the composite board while driving
- Quik Guard coating enables it to be used with many preservative-treated wood substrates
- Cap-head prevents mushrooming and material from rising up above the deck board for a smoother, clean-looking installation
The DCU Composite screw is available in colors matched to blend with most major composite decking products and is an approved fastener for Trex composite decking.
