Cortex from FastenMaster remains the most comprehensive hidden screw and plug system in the industry–and the pro’s choice for concealed fastening in Trex decking and fascia. In support of Trex’s latest deck board launch, FastenMaster now offers perfectly matched collated Cortex plugs for three new colors in the Trex Select line: Millstone, Malted Barley, and Whiskey Barrel.
These new Cortex colors are available in a variety of packaging options, including 100 lf and 300 sf kits with screws, plugs & setting tools, fascia kits, and plug-only packs. They join previously released colors Cinnamon Cove (Trex Enhance) and Hatteras and Salt Flat (Trex Transcend Lineage), bringing the total number of Cortex for Trex decking and fascia to 30 colors—covering 100% of Trex boards.
Made from the same composite material as the deck boards, collated Cortex plugs deliver a 100% color and texture match, backed by our exclusive ProjectLife warranty. Time studies show that FastenMaster’s collated Cortex strips with pre-aligned plug grain can cut installation time by up to 50% compared to loose-plug installation.
“FastenMaster is the best option for hiding fasteners in composite decks. We are committed to making Cortex available for 100% of Trex decking and fascia,” said Anthony DiSanto, director of FastenMaster’s Deck & Trim business unit. “As Trex continues to add new board colors and options, we will continue to offer the most comprehensive collection of collated Cortex plugs, giving Trex PROs a best-in-class solution to hide plugs where clips can’t.”
Cinnamon Cove, Hatteras, and Salt Flat are available now. Millstone, Malted Barley, and Whiskey Barrel will launch in June. Pros can find the latest color match details using FastenMaster’s Color Match Tool.
