Composite Deck Screws from SplitStop allow you to drive screws into nearly every type of composite decking, regardless of density, without need of a pre-drilling or dimpling function, while eliminating the unsightly mushrooming effect common to many other screws. It is a safe to use with any type of pressure treated framing provides excellent head-setting results, with a smaller, less obtrusive head. 

 

Most manufacturers of composite decking will provide guidance for their product for proper installation.  If sufficient pre-drilling and countersink drilling is performed, any standard fastener will seat on the decking without compressing it (resulting in mushrooming). For faster installation, there are many screw products on the market that promote unique screw designs for easy installations with no mushrooming. Often, products that eliminate the need to pre-drill produce a cleaning looking finish with less visible screws.
