Cortex is a fast and easy way to build a deck with fully hidden hardware and fasteners. The product comes with a proprietary drive bit that sets the screw to the perfect depth every time in composite, cap-stock, and PVC decking boards.

"We are honored to be named as a recipient of the 2022 Innovation Awards from The Home Depot,” said John McMahon, vice president of FastenMaster. “The list of top winners and finalists is impressive and having our brand as the second runner-up overall is both highly rewarding and humbling. We want to thank The Home Depot for this honor and congratulate all the companies identified in the process.”

The Cortex hidden deck fastening system features fasteners with a Torx® T-Tap drive system that is nearly impossible to strip-out and comes with a strong setting tool that enables PROs and DIYers to install up to 350 fasteners with one tool. And since Cortex plugs are made from the same material as the decking board being installed, the system gives you perfect match every time for a beautiful deck.
