Starborn Releases New Deckfast® Metal Screw for Steel & Aluminum Deck Framing Systems

Starborn Industries, Inc., a leading fastener manufacturer and distributor, has introduced a new longer version of its Deckfast® Metal screw for attaching two-inch PVC, composite or hardwood decking to steel and aluminum framing. Metal deck framing systems, like Trex Elevations®, have become more popular in response to growing demand from architects, deck builders and homeowners for longer lasting, lower maintenance decks.

Deckfast Metal was the first line of color matched deck screws designed specifically for this application. The original 1-5/8” long Deckfast Metal screw is the leading fastener for attaching one-inch decking materials to steel and aluminum framing systems. The new 2-3/8” Deckfast Metal screw is the only product on the market designed to attach two-inch (nominal) decking materials to metal framing. It is also the only screw approved for attaching two-inch decking to Trex Elevations® steel framing.

Deckfast Metal is available in ten different colors to match all of the most popular PVC, composite and hardwood decking products on the market. It features triple strength corrosion resistance (grade 410 stainless steel + zinc plating + epoxy coating) and a specially engineered head designed to leave a clean and professional finish in all types of PVC and composite capstock materials, as well as hardwood decking products without pre-drilling.
