Integrated Plug Fastening System for Fascia

Hidden fastening system that securely fastens deck fascia and cladding while also allowing boards to expand and contract freely. Precision cut plugs are made from actual fascia material. Installation is a three-step process utilizing a predrilling tool and a setting tool (sold as a tool set) and screws and plugs. All components must be used together as instructed to ensure proper function.
