Trex®, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing and leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, has launched comprehensive collection of fasteners and accessories.

Featuring more than 120 SKUs, the new Trex Hideaway® Fastener Collection includes solutions for every composite deck fastening and finishing need – from color-matched screws and plugs to specially engineered bits, depth setters and clips–including several first-to-market innovations. The collection was meticulously researched and expertly engineered to make installation easier and more efficient while delivering a clean, cohesive aesthetic. These new tools and accessories are fully compatible with all Trex decking products and have also been rigorously tested and proven to work with most competitive decking options.

Two key components of this one-of-a-kind system are Trex Hideaway® Deck Plugs and Trex Hideaway® Fascia Plugs. These first-to-market collated plugs feature proprietary construction and are made from the same shell stock, embossing rolls and pigments used to create Trex decking and fascia. Painstakingly crafted to deliver impeccable color and texture matches for the entire Trex decking collection, these exclusive plugs create a virtually undetectable finish. Included in this collection will be the first–and only–Trex-approved plug option for use with Trex Enhance® scalloped deck boards. With these specially designed plugs, contractors no longer have to rely on locator tools to ensure safe and effective installation, giving them the ability to conceal fasteners anywhere on the deck. Additional elements of the system include the following:

Trex Hideaway® Color Match Composite Decking and Fascia ScrewsEngineered specifically for Trex decks, these fasteners feature ultimate color matches with all Trex decking and fascia lines along with a unique design that delivers optimal stability, increased drive speed and a mushroom-free finish. Screws feature Phillips’ patented HEXSTIX®* technology for optimal accuracy and STICK-TIGHT®* technology to guarantee the perfect bit fit with every drive. These screws also resist stripping, rusting and fading, making them ideal for use on deck borders, breaker boards, picture frames, stairs, and the field of a deck where they blend in with their surroundings to create a harmonious look.

Trex Hideaway® Counterbore BitsDurably designed in color-coded options for fastening Trex color match fascia screws and decking and fascia plugs, these new counterbore bits feature forged spade designs for enhanced durability. An innovative rotating wing on each bit delivers a swift, efficient cut while ensuring material removal to prevent scratching the deck or fascia surface.

Trex Hideaway® Depth SettersSpecifically engineered and labeled for decking and fascia applications, these depth setters are equipped with the Phillips HEXSTIX Drive System, allowing installers to drill to the correct depth quickly and precisely, every time. Made with high-quality materials, each setter is incredibly durable and protected by a glass-filled nylon sheath and rubber bumpers to prevent wear and to avoid marring the deck surface during installation.

Trex Hideaway® HEXSTIX® Drive BitDesigned for precision, the HEXSTIX HS20 Drive Bit works seamlessly with Trex Hideaway Composite Decking & Fascia Screws, ensuring a stable, wobble-free connection with every use.

Trex Hideaway® Butt Joint ClipThese clips ensure that adjoining deck boards come together cleanly, resulting in a visually pleasing appearance that improves the overall look of your outdoor space. Whether you’re enjoying the clean lines from a distance or walking across the smooth surface, the aesthetic benefits of Trex Hideaway Butt Joint Clips leave a lasting impression.

In addition to these new fasteners and accessories, Trex will continue to offer its universal starter and fastener clips, router bit, and award-winning Trex® Universal Fastener One Step Installation Tool.

The Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection comes with the durability and protection of the world’s #1 composite decking brand. Components are backed by the same limited warranties as the decking they secure. When paired with Trex Transcend® decking, fasteners and accessories are backed by 50 years of assurance. With Trex Select® or Trex Enhance® decking, they are backed by 35 and 25 years, respectively.

All of the components of the system are designed to hide everything but the beauty of your next Trex deck build. For even more information on the expanded Trex Hideaway® fastening system, visit trex.com.
