Don deckboards expand and contract? Will the deck boards loosen up like they do with other hidden deck fastening systems?
Both composite and plastic decking expands and contracts dramatically with changes in temperature. Aphano fasteners are designed to accomodate this movement. Because the rear tab of each fastener extends under the previously installed fastener, or deckboard, each deckboard is free to expand and contract with temperature changes. Aphano concealed deck fasteners are designed to hold tight year after year.
