Concealed Fasteners for Softwood and Hardwood Decking
How to Choose the Best Concealed Fastener for a Deck.
If you are considering hidden fastening for your decking installation, The Mataverde® Eurotec® Deck Clip is a great option to consider. If your job site conditions are appropriate for using a hidden stainless steel decking fastener then the Eurotec Deck Clip will save you time, money, and worry for a long lasting and beautiful deck to enjoy for many years.
How Do I Know if Hidden Deck Fasteners Will Work Well for My Deck?
Fastening your Mataverde Hardwood Decking with stainless steel deck screws directly to the wood joists is the strongest method to secure your deck boards. However, many clients don't like the look of exposed screw heads on their deck boards so hidden decking clips provide a fast and secure method for many job site installations.
It's important to know that when using a hidden decking fastener, you are often trading off strength for looks. There are some applications and job site conditions where hidden fastening will work well and others work best with deck screws. How can you tell?
Best Conditions For Using Concealed Deck Fastening:
If your answers to the questions below are all "YES", then hidden deck fasteners are a good option to consider.
- Will there be under-deck ventilation on three sides to allow air flow? (Adequate ventilation is the most critical factor affecting decking performance)
-
Is your deck a minimum of 30" above the ground? (the higher the better)
-
Does the ground below your deck pitch away from the house or structure?
Is there adequate drainage for rain water? (various landscape fabrics and gravel work well)

Best Decking Sizes to Use with Hidden Deck Fastening:
MATAVERDE CONCEALED FASTENERS WORK GREAT WITH PRE-GROOVED HARDWOOD DECKING
-
Nominal '21 mm x 4' or '5/4 x 4' pre-grooved decking provides better strength and performance
-
Pre-grooved decking will save you time, money and labor...and it looks fantastic, too
Pre-grooved deck boards save lots of time, expense and aggravation. Choose from reliable hardwood decking species like Ipe, Machiche, Garapa and Cumaru. All four of these durable hardwood decking species are available pre-grooved and are covered by the Mataverde® 25 Year Limited Warranty. The continuous groove makes installing pre-grooved hidden fasteners faster and easier whether you are installing your deck boards square or diagonally.

DECK INSTALLATION WITH HIDDEN DECK FASTENING
- To install decking with the Mataverde Concealed Deck Clip fastener lay out your deck boards normally, one row at a time. Instead of drilling and screwing through the face of the deck boards, pre-drill the bottom edge of one side of the pre-grooved decking only, at a 45° degree angle. (see photo below)
- Then screw the deck board into the joist. This seats and fastens the deck board securely.
