DECK FINISHERS
UltraShield® has the following composite decking accessories available: colored head stainless steel screws, starter clips, hidden fastener systems, end caps for hollow profiles, and fascia boards in various dimensions for different applications. From composite deck screws to joist tape, we provide what you need to perfectly finish your decking.
DECK FASCIA
Composite deck fascia boards provide the perfect finishing touch and create a smooth, streamlined look for your composite wood deck. Composite fascia board creates a band of wood bordering the deck just below the surface line to hide the joists underneath and elevate the overall appearance of the deck.
DECKFAST® Fascia System
The precisely engineered Deckfast® Fascia System includes the Fascia Tool and specially designed, color coated, Fascia Screws available in Headcote® stainless steel or epoxy coated carbon steel.
The Fascia System is designed to accommodate the large amount of expansion and contraction that can occur with many composite and PVC deck fascia boards. The pre-drilling tool creates an over-sized hole for the Fascia Screw, so that the fascia board hangs from the screw and can expand and contract without putting a large amount of force on the fastener.
Fascia Screws feature star drive recesses and are ACQ approved. Follow the decking manufacturer’s recommendation when selecting either stainless or epoxy coated fascia screws. In general, for applications where either corrosion or especially large amounts of expansion and contraction of the fascia material is a concern, use stainless Fascia Screws.
FASCIA TOOLS
Free Spinning Stop Collar with O-ring
The stop collar spins free of the drill bit, prevent marring or burnishing of the fascia board surface.
Anti-clog Debris Cavity
The cavity gathers waste material, keeping it clear of the countersink.
Pre-set Countersink
The Fascia Tool matches the head diameter and countersink depth of the Fascia Screw for the perfect hole and fit.
Pre-set Shaft length
Together with the countersink, the overall hole depth is designed for use with fascia boards from 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick.
Application and Usage Notes
Follow the deck fascia board manufacturer’s installation instructions. The Fascia System is designed for use with fascia boards from 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick. Use the Fascia Tool to pre-drill and countersink all holes in the fascia board. The hole is complete when the stop collar stops spinning. Set the fascia board in place and fasten with Fascia Screws. Drive screws until flush with the fascia board; do not over-tighten. The fascia board should hang from the screws to allow for expansion and contraction.
JOIST TAPE
Joist tape is a self-adhesive waterproof tape designed to shield joists, beams, ledger boards and cut ends from moisture, stop decay and wood rot. It is made of a rubberized asphalt mastic adhesive.
ADVANTAGES
- Protects the joist from water infiltrations
- Noiseproofing / Reduces impact sound transmission

END CAPS
NewTechWood composite wood decking boards have 360-degree capping to completely seal and protect your boards from environmental hazards, moisture and decay, but this still leaves the end cut areas to consider. Fortunately, we offer a choice of moisture seals and composite decking end caps that work perfectly with our products, fitting in seamlessly with the board of the deck and offering your end cut areas ultimate protection.

MORE ABOUT END CAPS
Moisture can penetrate to the core in the end-cut area and could cause swelling, cupping and cracking at the edge area. All NewTechWood® composite deck board end caps are made of TPO Plastic which is durable and has high impact resistance under harsh weather conditions and extreme low temperature of – 40°C.
RECOMMENDATION
- Solid Board: Moisture seal should be applied at the end-cut
- Hollow Board: End-Cap should be installed at the end-cut
