    FastenMaster’s Cortex hidden fastening line, the industry’s most popular hidden deck fastening system, is now available in 18 colors for TimberTech’s composite Fascia boards in the Legacy, Reserve, Terrain+, Prime+ and Premier lines. Cortex plugs for composite fascia are engineered specifically for fascia applications and are designed to accommodate fascia expansion and contraction over time.  PROs can now combine Cortex for Decking with Cortex for Fascia to complete their entire deck with the leading hidden fastening system.

    Cortex Plugs are made from the same composite material as the fascia boards for a 100 percent perfect color and texture match and are warrantied for the life of the project. Cortex Plugs for TimberTech Fascia includes the following colors: Ashwood, Espresso, Mocha, Pecan, Tigerwood, Whitewash Cedar, Antique Leather, Dark Roast, Driftwood, Reclaimed Chestnut, Dark Oak, Natural White Oak, Weathered Oak, Sea Salt Gray, Dark Cocoa, Coconut Husk, Dark Teak and Maritime Gray.

    Cortex Fascia Plugs are installed in three easy steps: predrill with the counterbore tool, drive the screw and tap in the Cortex Plug.  The new Cortex Fascia Plugs are available in packages of 105 plugs, 100 screws, one setting tool and one Cortex counterbore tool, or enough to install 50 linear feet of fascia. Fascia fasteners are 1.75-inches long and feature a TORX ttap drive system for superior bit engagement and stable, wobble-free installation.

    Established in 1981, FastenMaster is a brand of fastening solutions for professional contractors. Its products are engineered for structural, decking, and trim applications in residential construction, and its product line includes the LOK Line of structural wood screws, Tiger Claw Hidden Deck Clip System, as well as the Cortex Hidden Fastening System for deck and trim applications.
