Deck Fasteners in Action



Whether out of sight or on the surface, Fiberon deck fasteners get the job done. Choose hidden fasteners for a smooth, uninterrupted deck surface or face fasteners with color-matched plugs for a more traditional approach. Either way, you're sure to give you a look you'll love, and superior holding power.

When you want a smooth deck surface and a more seamless transition from the indoor to the outdoors, choose Fiberon Phantom GT and Phantom EC (End Clips) Hidden Fasteners.

  • Made from stainless steel with corrosion-resistant coating
  • More "teeth" and sharper curves grip deck boards for a stronger hold to the joist
  • Dual limiting tabs ensure consistent spacing and resist twisting often seen with single tab fasteners
  • Key hole design properly orients and seats the screw for optimal installation
  • Butt Joint Fasteners eliminate the need to double joist or use two fasteners at joints
  • End Clip Fasteners eliminate surface fasteners on the beginning and end boards of the deck
  • Fasteners work with Fiberon Phantom Ballistic Screws (see details below)
  • Phantom GT Fasteners work with Symmetry, Horizon, ProTect Advantage, Sanctuary, and Good Life Decking
  • Phantom EC Fasteners work with all of these decking lines plus Paramount PVC Decking (see Technical Bulletin for approved fastening systems for Paramount PVC Decking grooved edge interior boards)

    Fiberon Cortex Screws

For a traditional face-fastened look, choose Fiberon Cortex screws – the only hidden face fasteners approved for Fiberon decking. Easy to install, Cortex screws work with a special driving tip that automatically places the screw at the precise depth. Then, a color-matched plug is tapped in to minimize the appearance of hardware. So you get a cleaner, more attractive decking surface.

  • FAQs
    Can Fiberon Phantom Hidden Deck Fasteners be used with decking other than Fiberon?

    Phantom Fasteners are for use with most composite decking products. Non-grooved composite decking boards can be grooved** with a slot cutting bit to accommodate the Phantom Fastener. Recommended bits are:

    • UFO, PN: The Groover
    • Woodstock International, PN: DC1098
    • Bosch, PN: 85530M
    • Sears, PN: SPM215190769
    • Sears, PN: SPM215190779
    • Grizzly Industrial, PN: C1098

    **Cutting grooves or slots into deck boards may void the manufacturer's warranty. Fiberon does not warrant or guarantee your warranty will remain valid.
