Decking fasteners

Stand-up screw fastening systems for metal deck (framing and sidelap)

We have two stand-up systems for fastening decking – one a screw fastening solution and the other a direct fastening solution.

They both include stand-up installation tools and a wide range of collated deck screws and nails to fasten decking to bar joists, thick and thin steel, HTU, or other metal.

Both are designed to speed up installation, to be ergonomic and are alternatives to welding.
