COLLATED Cortex - 100 LFT for TREX Enhance Foggy Wharf

FastenMaster has introduced the Collated Cortex specifically designed for TREX Decking, allowing for a rapid and efficient installation process for concealing fasteners and screw heads. With this advanced solution, the installation speed has increased by 50%. The new Cortical plugs are conveniently provided on a collated strip, which reduces handling time and increases efficiency on the job site.

This innovative fastener system offers impressive holding power while effectively hiding screws across the entire deck, including the first and last boards, breaker boards, perimeter areas, and even stairs. The remarkable TORX ttap Drive System minimizes the risk of stripping during installation and facilitates easy removal of the fasteners when needed. Additionally, a stability button has been included to ensure that the fasteners remain straight throughout the installation process, enhancing the overall user experience.

Included in the package is an industrial-grade setting tool that allows you to install up to 350 fasteners with just one tool, making it a practical choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. The complete kit consists of everything required for a successful deck installation, such as screws, plugs, and the necessary setting tools.

For optimal results, FastenMaster recommends using an 18-volt cordless drill for this installation. It is important to note that impact drivers are not advisable when working with composite deck boards, regardless of whether they have capstock. This ensures that you avoid any potential damage to the materials.

One significant advantage of using the FastenMaster Cortex system is that pre-drilling is generally unnecessary for most of the project. However, when fastening within 1/2 inches of the board's end or at mitered joints, pre-drilling becomes essential. For these specific instances, a 3/16-inch drill bit should be used to create proper pilot holes.

In summary, the FastenMaster Collated Cortex for TREX Decking offers a streamlined and efficient way to install deck boards while providing an aesthetically pleasing result. The increased speed of installation, combined with the high-quality components of the system, including the industrial-grade setting tool and the innovative TORX ttap Drive System, ensures both effectiveness and durability. By minimizing the need for pre-drilling and reducing the handling time required on-site, this system stands out as an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their outdoor spaces easily and quickly. Whether you are a professional contractor or a proactive homeowner, the FastenMaster Cortex is designed to deliver remarkable results while maintaining the integrity of your decking project.
