Trex Decking Color-Match Composite Screw Installation Instructions (PDF)

Back to All Resources

The Trex Decking Color-Match Composite Screw Installation Instructions (PDF) provide step-by-step guidance for properly fastening Trex composite deck boards using Trex Hideaway® Color-Match screws and the HEXSTIX® driver bit. This guide ensures a clean, professional finish for composite decking installations across all Trex collections.

The instructions include best practices for drilling, screw placement, and board spacing to prevent splitting and achieve a flush, consistent surface. Builders will find recommended screw types, pre-drilling tips for end boards, and torque settings for cordless drills to maintain precise installation without damaging the board surface.

Trex’s Color-Match Composite Screws are designed for performance and appearance, blending seamlessly with decking colors while providing strong, reliable fastening. This guide also includes diagrams for screw angles, spacing between joists, and important safety notes for avoiding over-driving or countersinking screws.

Following these guidelines helps ensure long-term deck durability and visual consistency, whether used for field boards, perimeter boards, or stairs. The document also lists important installation restrictions—such as avoiding salt environments and systems thinner than two inches—to maintain warranty coverage and performance.
