Building a deck is an investment in both beauty and durability. The right fastening system ensures that your deck remains strong, safe, and visually appealing for years to come. And for that, Black Talon Universal Deck Fastener is a trusted choice among contractors, builders, and home owners for its innovative design and reliable performance. Engineered for grooved-edge decking, this fastening solution offers strength, durability, and a clean finish that elevates the overall appearance of any deck project.
Black Talon is our unique, hidden deck fastener made from stainless steel. These hardwood decking clips increase construction efficiency, minimize the need for repair, and extend the deck’s life span over decks with screw-down or other hidden deck fastening systems. Two innovative decking clips are available to decking suppliers nationwide: a standard clip with legs that straddle a two-inch joist and an angled clip to accommodate deck boards that are not perpendicular to the joist or joists that are wider than two inches.
Old Traditional deck installation methods often rely on nails or screws driven through the surface of the boards. While this may seem simple, it can cause multiple long-term problems, including splitting, water penetration, and visible fasteners that disrupt the deck’s natural beauty. We remove these issues with its concealed installation system.
With the usage of this advanced fastening method, your deck not only looks sleek and seamless but also gains extended life due to reduced risk of water infiltration and material damage. It’s a system designed for efficiency, aesthetics, and performance all in one.
In regions like Washington, where outdoor decks must withstand diverse weather conditions, including rain, moisture, and seasonal changes, durability is essential. The Decking Clip System in the Washington market has progressively shifted toward the concealed fasteners, such as Black Talon, because they provide superior resistance against environmental challenges. The fasteners keep boards tightly in place while allowing natural expansion and contraction, reducing the chances of warping or buckling. For homeowners in Washington and similar climates, this deck fastening system represents a smart investment that balances strength with beauty, ensuring that your deck maintains its appeal for decades.
Our one of the most valued features is concealed deck board fastener design. Instead of visible screws marring the surface of your deck, these hidden fasteners attach beneath or between the boards. This method creates a smooth, uniform surface that highlights the natural grains and colors of your decking material. Beyond aesthetics, concealed fasteners also enhance safety by eliminating raised screws or sharp edges that could cause injuries. Families with children or frequent outdoor gatherings can enjoy peace of mind knowing their deck surface is smooth and hazard-free.
The Black Talon fastener is specifically engineered as one of the high-quality deck fasteners for grooved-edge boards. Many modern decking materials, including composite and hardwood, are manufactured with grooved edges to accommodate hidden fastening systems. And we perfectly fit these grooves, creating a secure connection that holds boards firmly while remaining virtually invisible.
Because the system is designed for grooved-edge applications, installation is faster and more efficient compared to traditional fastening methods. Contractors can complete projects more quickly, while homeowners benefit from reduced labor costs and long-lasting results. Give us a call at +1 503-780-2876 to get your work done.
