COLLATED Cortex 100 LFT Collated Screws TREX Enhance Foggy Wharf Grey

Description

Product Overview

The COLLATED Cortex 100 LFT collated screws are engineered specifically for TREX Enhance Foggy Wharf decking systems. Constructed from high‑grade steel, each screw undergoes a precision‑tempered heat treatment that delivers exceptional tensile strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring long‑term durability in outdoor environments. The integrated TORX ttap Drive System reduces cam‑out and provides a smooth, torque‑controlled insertion, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the deck board material. Each strip contains 100 fasteners pre‑aligned in a collated format, allowing installers to feed the entire strip into a FastenMaster Cortex plug without the need for individual handling. This design not only speeds up the installation process but also guarantees consistent spacing and alignment, resulting in a uniform, professional finish across the whole deck surface.

Usage

These collated screws are ideal for residential and commercial decking projects where aesthetic quality and structural performance are paramount. They excel in applications such as new deck construction, deck resurfacing, and repair work on existing TREX Enhance Foggy Wharf boards. The concealed fastener design eliminates visible screw heads, creating a clean, uninterrupted surface that enhances the visual appeal of outdoor living spaces, pool decks, and boardwalks. Installers can confidently use the product in a variety of climates, from humid coastal regions to dry inland locations, because the corrosion‑resistant coating protects against rust and salt exposure. The fasteners are also suitable for use on stair treads, railings, and perimeter boards, providing a seamless transition between different deck components.

When working on complex deck layouts that include curves, angles, or irregular board lengths, the collated strip format simplifies the process by allowing continuous feeding of screws without the need to pause for individual placement. This reduces fatigue for the installer and minimizes the chance of misalignment or spacing errors. The product’s 100‑fastener length (LFT) is optimized for the standard thickness of TREX Enhance Foggy Wharf boards, delivering the ideal embed depth for maximum holding power while keeping the deck surface flush.
