Product Summary
DECKFAST® is a line of deck fasteners that offers builders a wide range of high quality deck screws to meet all their decking needs. DECKFAST® screws are available in both stainless steel and epoxy coated hardened steel and come in 3 different threading configurations -- standard helical threading, our RAZORBACK® 4-point razor thread, and the new DECKFAST® Composite in 6 colors, featuring Starborn's TransVerse™ threading to help prevent mushrooms.
Construction and Materials
The DECKFAST® product line from Starborn Industries offers a range of high-performance fastening solutions designed specifically for deck construction. These fasteners are engineered to provide superior strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring the longevity and integrity of outdoor living spaces.
The construction of DECKFAST® fasteners typically involves advanced manufacturing techniques to achieve precise dimensions and consistent quality. Their design often incorporates features aimed at ease of installation and enhanced holding power. This can include specialized thread designs for faster driving and increased resistance to pull-out, as well as shaped heads that sit flush or slightly below the surface of the decking material for a clean finish.
A key aspect of DECKFAST® fasteners is the material selection. Starborn Industries prioritizes materials that offer excellent corrosion resistance, particularly important for outdoor applications exposed to moisture, UV rays, and varying environmental conditions. The primary materials utilized include:
- Stainless Steel: This offers exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for coastal environments or areas with high humidity. It provides long-term durability and maintains its strength over time.
- Coated Carbon Steel: For applications where the highest level of corrosion resistance is not paramount, or for cost-effectiveness, DECKFAST® may offer fasteners made from carbon steel with specialized coatings. These coatings are designed to protect against rust and wear, extending the fastener's lifespan in typical outdoor conditions.
The specific types of DECKFAST® fasteners available may include:
- Deck Screws: These are the primary fasteners for securing deck boards to joists. They often feature self-drilling tips to reduce the need for pre-drilling, aggressive threads for strong holding power, and countersinking heads for a smooth, finished appearance.
- Hidden Fasteners: These systems are designed to conceal the fasteners entirely, creating a seamless look on the deck surface. They work by attaching to the sides of the deck boards or engaging with specific grooves, providing a clean and professional aesthetic.
The selection of DECKFAST® fasteners often depends on the type of decking material being used (e.g., wood, composite, PVC) and the specific environmental exposure. Starborn Industries aims to provide solutions that not only meet structural requirements but also contribute to the overall visual appeal of the deck.
Features and Benefits
The DECKFAST® system by Starborn Industries offers a revolutionary approach to deck fastening, providing a superior alternative to traditional screw-down methods. Engineered for both professional builders and DIY enthusiasts, DECKFAST® prioritizes durability, aesthetics, and ease of installation, ensuring a long-lasting and visually appealing deck.
