Exposed nails and screws can cause major injuries if you’re not careful. But, unfortunately, many traditional decks are built with exposed nails and screws. This standard method of building a new deck in the Lehigh Valley could cause safety hazards for your family or might leave you with an uncomfortable deck.
When planning a new deck, or refurbishing an old deck, it’s important not to neglect details like hardware selections. You will want to understand the hardware’s longevity and maintenance requirements and see how it will look on your new deck. To give your new deck in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania a sturdy, durable foundation complete with a perfectly clean finish you should consider using hidden fasteners.
Here are 3 benefits of using hidden fasteners for your new deck in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania:
Merging indoor and outdoor living is one of the most important details that will ensure you maximize the use of your new deck. But if your deck is plagued with safety issues, hazards, or inconveniences you are less likely to use it.
Behind the Design – The Importance of a Seamless Transition:
One of the key secrets to building an outdoor living space that is comfortable, functional, and inviting is a seamless transition from the inside of your home to the outdoors. Unfortunately, many contractors use nails and screws that won’t give your new deck a clean and finished look. This is why we use hidden fasteners when building your new deck! Hidden fasteners create a clean-looking surface that is smooth to bare feet and you will never need to worry about safety issues or hazards!
Three things you NEED to know about deck materials →
Most contractors use nails to attach the joists to the deck framing and screws to fasten down the decking itself. However, seasonal expansion and contraction frequently cause deck nails and screws to work themselves loose. This could cause safety hazards that look awful and will result in major injuries.
Hidden fasteners are completely invisible since they are held down between the deck boards. Since the hidden fasteners flex and move, you will never need to worry about the hidden fasteners rising.
