Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, follow these guidelines:
- Tooling: Ensure you have a high-quality No.2 Square Bit. Using a Phillips head will result in stripped screw heads and a poor finish.
- Drill Settings: Set your impact driver or drill to a lower torque setting to avoid over-driving the screw into the composite material, which could cause 'mushrooming'.
- Compatibility: These screws are specifically intended for the Ecoscape range of products. While they may fit other boards, their colour-matching is calibrated for Ecoscape specific brown composite materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the deck surface. Because these screws are corrosion-resistant, they require minimal care, but ensure they remain tight after the first season of temperature-related expansion and contraction.
