Frequently Asked Questions

What tool is required to install these collated trim-head screws?

These screws are designed to install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or a compatible Quik Drive attachment. The curved collation and pointed inserted end are specifically engineered to ensure problem-free performance with this system.

Why choose Type 305 stainless steel for decking screws?

Type 305 stainless steel provides high-level corrosion resistance, making these screws especially well-suited for marine environments, docks, boardwalks, and other high-exposure outdoor installations where standard steel fasteners would be prone to rust and deterioration over time.

What does the Tan 01 color designation mean, and will it match my decking?

Tan 01 refers to the specific painted color applied to the screw head. These trim-head screws are available in 13 colors matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, allowing the fastener head to remain less noticeable on the decking surface for a clean, finished look.

What is the advantage of the curved collation design on these screws?

The patented curved collation strips hold the screws up and away from the work surface, which makes moving and repositioning the Quik Drive tool easier during installation. The screws are also pointed on the inserted end to simplify loading into the collation system, improving overall installation speed and efficiency.
