Fasteners For Azek

wakespere

I've been building docks with mostly IPE, with stainless steel screws. I'm getting ready to deck my 1st with Azek. Are Trapeze 2 screws good for installing Azek? Any other suggestions?

Here's the link to their installation guide.

GRK makes a great trim head screw for this and composites.

Azek is PVC, which is much less dense than hardwood and composites. All you need is a simple #7 x 2 1/4" or #8 x 2 1/2" stainless steel trim head screw, there won't be any mushrooming so no need for trap-ease. You can get said screws with color-matched heads specifically for Azek deck colors.

Try checking out the GRK trim head screws and composites. GRK has a new ecommerce retail site called *** *** Direct, where you can buy the screws online. .

Hey AS22,

That wouldn't happen to be YOUR website, now, would it? Looks kinda homegrown...
It being your first post and all, I'd hate for you to be trying to sneak in some illegal advertising on this forum.

I didn't even think to check his profile! Way to stay on top of things, Neo - my job prospects at CSI just keep getting dimmer and dimmer!!

May as well tag on to this.
Anyone got a better scource
than McFeely's for white S.S.
trim heads?
I've given up on local suppliers,
either don't have or need to
special order....new business
models.....

Try manasquanfasteners.com, though I've never ordered from there. All the lumber yards in my area carry either headcote of Swan Secure stainless products.

Thanks,several local yards
carry the Swan, or others,
but not in color match...just
mill S.S.
Turns out though the salesman
at the yard where I ordered the
Azek just discovered (yesterday)
that they actually do stock HeadCotes!

Funny how, when you let them know your money is going elsewhere, your yard figured out that they CAN actually get the screws for you!

Hey Neo, post pics of this thing when you build it - it sounds like a cool design!

My local supplier caries headcotes, but they are about 25% higher then I can get online at either Mannequin or the Deckbuilder outlet.

Not just he can get them,
he had them all along and
didn't know it!
I'm sure half the time I'm talking
it must come out chinese or something?

We shall see about pix.
36 miles each way, gas might eat into
digital camera budget.
