How is mineral decking fastened?

Deckorator’s mineral composite decking is fastened using stowaway hidden fasteners. These fasteners are installed in between the slotted edges of the decking planks, negating the need for any pre-drilling and automatically spacing the planks with the appropriate gap size. This removes any guesswork and creates a simpler installation process.
