Color: Available in “Ipe Brown”, “Patina Grey” or “Shadowline Black” to match the desired look of your Ipe or composite deck.
Shape: Due to its size and shape, Ipe Clip® fasteners speed installation and eases installation problems associated with other hidden fastener methods. The smaller shape allows for approx. 1” of tolerance in the positioning of the slots cut by a biscuit jointer. Other hidden fastener methods do not allow for any tolerance in the cutting of the biscuit slots, which complicates and slows installation.
Bits: Unlike other fastening systems, each box of Ipe Clip® fasteners contains a pre-drill bit and a torx drive screw gun tip needed for installation. (Complete Kit ONLY)
Strength: Ipe Clip® fasteners are manufactured from a UV Resistant High Strength material, giving Ipe Clip® fasteners up to three times the strength of other fastening methods. By using our high strength material, Ipe Clip® fasteners have increased holding power, and help prevent screw heads from being overdriven, as can be a problem with other lesser quality fasteners.
