Especially for Distributors

Your customers will want innovative, award-winning EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners. EB-TY provides the first ever systems approach to fastening decks, and our versatile fasteners solve problems common to using nails or screws to fasten decks. We offer an EB-TY fastener for every type of wood and composite.

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.

EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners are virtually invisible — above or below the deck. The dark color of the fasteners blends with the shadow of the joints Builders, developers, and contractors choose EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners because they�re easy-to-use, and avoid costly callbacks.

Architects specify our fasteners because they create uniform, clean lines that highlight the beauty of the decking. With EB-TY, there are no surface scars, such as splinters or holes, with EB-TY fasteners, and no puddle areas.

Homeowners and do-it-yourselfers like our fasteners because they don't have to worry about nails popping up or screws tearing bare feet. And they don�t have rows and rows of holes in their deck surface.

The EB-TY Hidden Deck-Fastening System^TM is featured in this convenient, easy-to set up, point-of-purchase display (Part code: IPOP01).

EB-TY Hidden Deck 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.

The EB-TY Hidden Deck-Fastening System 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 time and money. All work is done from the top surface when using EB-TY fasteners, so decks can be built as close to the ground as wanted. 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 labor over other fastening techniques such as straight screws, screws and plugs, or under mount installations.

And here's what one architect has to say about EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners:

"We are architects and construction managers. Our firm is based on the island of Nantucket, Mass. We get a lot of wind-driven rain and water exposure. Our projects tend to be high-end residential jobs, and we use top-quality wood, mostly mahogany. We use EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners because they don't deteriorate in our salt-water environment. They extend the life of the deck. Our clients like EB-TY fasteners for aesthetic reasons: The fasteners make it easy for our carpenters to create nice, straight rows when fastening the boards. EB-TY deck fasteners are a great product, and we constantly encourage others to use them."

Here's what one homeowner has to say about EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners:

"I think EB-TY hidden deck fasteners are great ... ! I have four children, and, when we were building our deck, I knew I did not want our contractor to use screws. Screws are ugly, and they're toe killers. Today, our deck is the focal point of our home, and we use it all year round. And I have no doubt having such a beautiful deck has added to the value of our home."
