Especially for Builders and Developers

We invented EB-TY^® Hidden Deck Fasteners^TM because we are builders, and we were looking for a better way to build beautiful decks.

Before, when we used nails or screws to build a deck, after a short time the deck would creak whenever someone walked on it. And, of course, nails and screws rust. No matter how carefully we worked, there would soon be unsightly pop-ups and splinters that would become safety hazards and would often result in callbacks. Callbacks can be very expensive — in time lost and customer goodwill damaged. A callback can cost you more than it would have cost to install EB-TY fasteners.

Our innovative, award winning, EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners put an end to those problems. Our fasteners are the most reliable, long-lasting fasteners on the market. They are manufactured in the United States and made of ultra-violet resistant polypropylene. They can't rust, and they're guaranteed to last 100 years under normal use.

When you use EB-TY fasteners, you won't have those unsightly surface scars, such as splinters, holes, or puddle areas that so often result in customer complaints and callbacks. The fasteners are virtually invisible — above or below the deck. The dark color of the fasteners blends with the shadow of the joints.

EB-TY fasteners automatically set even 3/32" or 1/4" spacing between deck boards, and ensure that all deck boards are at a level, uniform height, highlighting the beauty of the decking material. We offer an EB-TY fastener for every type of wood and composite.

The EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners consists of black biscuits that are inserted into slots or kerfs cut by a biscuit joiner, or router bit, at each joist. One stainless steel #7 2-1/4" screw holds each biscuit tight, and after applying beads of exterior construction glue to each joist, the next deck board slips over the exposed EB-TY fasteners. It's fast and easy.

EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners save you time and money. You work from the top surface when using EB-TY fasteners, so you can build decks as close to the ground as you want. And installation takes only one EB-TY fastener and one screw wherever a deck board intersects with a joist. EB-TY fasteners installed in hardwoods save you labor over other fastening techniques such as straight screws, screws and plugs, or under mount installations.

Here's what builders have to say about EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners:

"Our home building company designed a modern addition, porches and decks to an antique farmhouse which faithfully preserved the character of the original home. In renovating the porches and decks, it was decided that we would use a hidden fastening system. We chose EB-TY Hidden Fastening Systems because it would add value to the home over time, allow the natural woods to be seen and provided the spacing we needed for the woods. Once we started using the EB-TY we noticed that it wasn't difficult at all to work with. We now have a farmhouse that brings light, spaciousness and functionality back into the space. We can not be more pleased with EB-TY..."

"I am a contactor for one of the nation's largest home development companies — Centex. While attending the National Home Builders Show, I was introduced to EB-TY Hidden Fastening Systems. During the demo of the EB-TY I learned that EB-TY has a hidden fastening system for all woods and composites. I was not aware that the EB-TY is used not only on decks but on boardwalks and docks. We also learned that there are five (5) EB-TY Hidden Fasteners available to builders of these projects. After testing the EB-TY, we now consider the EB-TY for our projects using Ipe', Trex, Weather Best, CorrectDeck, Oasis, Archadeck, Timbertech, and others. Our company takes pride in the quality and value of our building projects. Using EB-TY Hidden Fastening Systems further adds to the value of our building projects and added value to the home owner."

"We have a construction company, and we specialize in decks. We've been in business 18 years. We started using EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners several years ago. Using your product cuts our production time by 40 percent, because we don't need to screw down the top boards. We can go as fast as the biscuits can be installed. EB-TY's systems save us money, in terms of our own labor costs, and so they save our clients' money, too. Safety is also a definite factor: Customers like the fact that, with EB-TY, there are no nails, so the decks are safe to walk on barefoot. And our customers love how the finished decks look."

"We're homebuilders and general contractors, and we're a family-owned business.
I would recommend EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners to other contractors. We chose them because they're the best product out there. The advantage of using EB-TY fasteners is that there's no holes in the wood. It's a more uniform look, more finished. You pay a little more,
but our customers are happy with the results."
