Approved Fasteners: NOTE: The fasteners listed below are approved fasteners for attachment of Trex Cladding to furring strips. Consult local building code official for proper fasteners to use when attaching furring strips to structural wall (take note of the screw lengths used, as its good practice to have fewer penetrations through the water resistant barrier when installing). For salt water applications, it is recommended to use wood furring strips with appropriate stainless steel screws. If any condition occurs which is attributable to the use of non-recommended fasteners, such condition shall not be covered under the Trex Limited Warranty. Cladding Attchment to Wood Furring Strips: » Starborn ® Cap-Tor ® xd Epoxy Coated & Headcote ® 305 Stainless 2" minimum. » Starborn Deckfast ® Fascia System –Epoxy Coated & Headcote ® 305 Stainless. » Starborn ® Pro Plug ® System for PVC and Composite (Epoxy Coated & 305 or 316 Stainless) 2" minimum. Cladding Attachment to Steel Furring Strips: » Starborn ® Pro Plug ® System for PVC and Composite for Metal Framing (410SS, self-drilling). » Starborn Deckfast® Metal 410SS with Epoxy Coating. NOTE: Composite deck screws should penetrate the wood furring strips a minimum of 1". FASTENING TIPS
Gapping and Overhang: You must gap Trex cladding both end-to-end and width-to-width. Gapping is necessary for airflow and the slight thermal expansion and contraction of Trex cladding boards. » ALWAYS follow Trex recommended gapping guidelines. » Maximum allowable perpendicular overhang for all Trex decking is 3/4 ".
