Perfect Plank Gap Spacing & Position

1. Direction of plank expansion

2. Direction of plank contraction

3. Top side of the terrace planks

4. Screwed side of the planks

What makes our U.S. patented side-mount concealed fixing clip unique is that, only one side of the plank is secured to the underlying sleeper. This allows the opposite side of plank to move naturally with contraction and expansion. This simple fixing technique guarantees steady and even gap spacing between planks over time as well as end-to-end planks.

ExtremeKD® Hardness Allows for Expansion of Planks

Polyethylene Material Guarantees Long-Lasting Performance

deckwise hidden hardwood fastener stainless steel insert

1. Hardened stainless steel reinforcing insert

  • Guarantees exact screw positioning and prevents over driving
  • Coated with black oxide for long lasting anti corrosion
  • High quality hardened stainless steel reinforcing insert

2. Polyethylene Plastic Resin Square Shape

  • U.S. Patented fixing biscuit shape allows more contact with wood grooves
  • Spacer wedges return to original size after timber expansion
  • Casing is injection molded polyethylene resin for toughness

Designed for hardwood terraces, the color of the plastic resin also works to further camouflage and conceal our invisible terrace fixings between the plank gaps for a concealed fixing method. Also perfect for thermally treated woods!

Our strong stainless steel insert firmly holds planks to sleepers (up to 3X more hold-down strength than other slot mount fixings), eliminating any chance stainless steel screws will pull through the fixing as the imported timber expands.


Incorporated Spacer Wedge Leg

Automatic 6,4mm Gap Spacing Between Plank Timbers

deckwise extremekd hardwood clip grey - back view

1. Hollow spacer wedge leg on the ExtremeKD® absorbs the movement of timber planks and returns to its original shape.

2. The 6,4mm spacer wedge guarantees proper spacing between planks. (Careful attention must be made towards the degree of acclimation to the job site prior to installation; species of wood used; the plank width; and weather climate conditions.)

3. U.S. patented design guarantees higher strength of the fixing during installation.

4. Use With Exotic Hardwoods, Thermally Modified Woods and Composites.

Enables Expansion on the Width of Kiln-Dried Hardwoods

Screwing fixing clip screws with our standard black trim-head screws is quick and easy. Screw heads hide perfectly in the clip insert for a clean, out of sight finish. Or use the DeckWise® (Heat-Treated Stainless Steel) screws that offer a specially engineered four-sided nail point tip and a serrated thread design. The serration minimizes plank splintering or splitting, even when screwing near the plank edge. Pre-drilling is always recommended.

Screwing Terrace Planks to Sleeper Joists

Terrace fixings are screwed through the timber plank side groove down into sleepers at a 45° angle.

The ability to install stainless steel screws at a 45 degree angle through the hardwood plank greatly increases hold-down power. Studies have proven that, screws have more holding strength when ran at an angle which allows screw threads more grip. This specific method also retains even plank gap spacing while correctly allowing planks to expand and contract with the weather seasons.

  • Promises a strong solid surface, free of face screws
  • Ensures perfect alignment of timber plank gaps
  • Easily install ExtremeKD® fixings from the topside down, not underneath
  • Allows planks to naturally expand and contract on one side only
  • Stainless steel screws affix planks tightly for a long-lasting terrace
  • Self-drilling screws make installations fast and efficient

Enables Expansion/Contraction on the Length of Composite Materials

Driving terrace screws directly down at 90 degrees (through the terrace clip) with PVC and composite materials permits them to move naturally along their length. There is no need to screw through the plank itself. Plank gaps will remain precise and fixings will be concealed inside the timber gaps.

Plank Compatibility

Plank Thickness Plank Width
*A = Measurement Of Plank Thickness **B = Measurement Of Plank Width

Groove Dimensions

Thickness of Cut Cutting Height Cutting Depth
C = 4mm ***D = (A-4mm)/2 E = 13mm

Plank Spacing

During Installation
****F = 6,4mm

* If utilizing 38,1mm or thicker material, longer screw options may be required than what is generally included with the invisible terrace fixing kit.

** For terraces 20,32cm or wider, the (A) dimension must be at least 38,1mm. Utilizing a wide plank such as this for outdoor terraces will almost certainly generate cupping issues despite of how the material is secured if thicker material is not used.

*** This formula will produce a symmetrical profile that enables you to reverse and/or rotate the plank enabling the best side to be installed.

**** Fixing clip instantaneously produces proper gap spacing when planks are pushed close together in the course of installation.

Reversible/Symmetrical Terrace Planks

Either Side of the Timber Planks Can Be Installed

  • Symmetrical Side Grooves: Timber planks have symmetrical side mount grooves and are centered in the middle of the plank edge.
  • Two Smooth Surfaces: Timber planks have symmetrical side mount grooves and are centered in the middle of the plank edge.
edge groove board profile

No matter what specie of hardwood you choose, they are not always flawless on both sides. Most terrace fixing systems have a side mount profile that does not allow terrace planks to be flipped for the perfect smooth surface. This is not true with our ExtremeKD® invisible terrace fixing clips because we allow for an edge groove that is symmetrical on both sides.

Perhaps there is a blemish on a portion of a timber plank? Simply reverse the plank and install the best looking side face up. Because our system utilizes either side of the plank, installation time is increased and profits are not lost on planks that cannot be installed.

Ask your timber yard to pre-groove your planks or use a router on the job site to cut the slots for fixings.
