Correspondingly, how do you use hidden fasteners on composite decking?To install composite decking with a hidden fastening system, start at the house by face-screwing the first board. Next, screw a hidden fastener clip into the groove on top of each joist. Then, slide the groove of the next board into the clips and tighten with a rubber mallet.Secondly, how do you end a Trex? Use Fascia Boards to Cinch a Finished Look Another great way to finish the ends of composite decking is to use fascia — the perpendicular boards that run the perimeter of a deck. Fascia can also be used with strategically placed stairs (e.g., wide steps or wrap-around stairs). Subsequently, question is, do you need a special blade to cut Trex? Carbide tipped blades are suggested—the fewer teeth the better for smooth cuts. Don’t allow blades to get overly hot when cutting as this can cause cuts to be warped or wavy.Does Trex require special screws?A: No special tools are required when using Trex grooved edge deck boards, just a drill with screw drive bit and a standard framing hammer. When using Trex decking without the grooved edge, a router bit will be needed to create a groove at each joist.
