The Ecoscape Colour Coded Screws are essential for professional decking installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a refined, seamless finish on their composite decking and cladding projects. These 40mm fasteners are engineered to blend perfectly with brown composite materials, ensuring hardware remains visually discreet. While these screws provide a superior aesthetic compared to standard zinc-plated hardware, they are specifically optimized for composite materials and require the correct drive bit to avoid damaging the board surface or screw head.

These screws require a No.2 Square Bit for installation.
These are specifically designed for composite decking and cladding. While they may physically fit, they are not optimized for the expansion properties of natural timber.
While not strictly required in all cases, pre-drilling is highly recommended when driving screws near the edges of boards to prevent splitting.
They are designed for exterior use and are corrosion resistant, though they should be kept dry in storage prior to installation.
These screws are 40mm in length, which is the standard size for securing most composite decking boards.
Ensure you are using a genuine No.2 Square Bit and check that the bit is fully seated in the screw head before applying pressure.
Reduce the torque setting on your drill and ensure you are not over-driving the screw past the surface of the board.
Check if a pilot hole is required; composite density can vary, and a small pilot hole will assist with cleaner entry.
Before starting your installation, verify that you have a high-quality No.2 Square Bit. Using a damaged or incorrect bit size can lead to 'cam-out' and damage the screw head coating. We recommend pre-drilling a pilot hole if you are working close to the end of a board to mitigate the risk of splitting the composite material. To maintain the finish, avoid using impact drivers at full power, as this can generate excessive heat that may melt the composite board around the screw head. Clean any metal shavings off the deck surface immediately after installation to prevent rust staining on the boards.
