TimberTech products are engineered the right way, to last. And many are covered by leading warranties. See full warranty details.
Predrilling is only recommended when installing in temperatures below 40 degrees or above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or when installing into old framing or joists.
Cortex for Advanced PVC is not compatible with metal framing. For steel framing applications, Cortex Drillers (1-5/8″ 410 stainless steel screws) can be purchased through FastenMaster. To special order the deck plugs needed specifically for your project, please contact 1-800-518-3569.
Cortex fasteners can be used on all full-profile TimberTech deck boards, except for scalloped boards from our Terrain, Prime, Prime+ and Reliaboard collections.
