Bambura® Starter Clip 100 Pack
Starter clips are an essential and foundational component in the installation of WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) decking, particularly when using a hidden fastener system. Available from First Fence in a handy 100-count pack. The pack contains the clips, and the screws are also available in 100 packs.
The Purpose of Starter Clips
- Achieve a seamless look: By hiding the fasteners, starter clips create a smooth, consistent surface without visible screws or nails.
- Provide stability: They anchor the first board securely, preventing shifting and ensuring proper alignment for subsequent boards.
- Allow for expansion: Like other hidden fasteners, starter clips are designed to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of composite decking due to temperature changes.
- Facilitate installation: They make the installation of the initial board easier, especially when the deck starts against a wall.
How They Work
- Attachment: The starter clips are screwed into the underlying joists.
- Board placement: The first composite deck board is then slotted or clicked into the clips.
- Securing the board: The clip holds the board firmly in place and can be used to secure a bull-nosed board.
- Finishing: Starter clips are also used for the final board of the run and to secure fascia and trim boards.
Benefits
- Improved aesthetics give a professional finish.
- Increased durability, including corrosion resistance.
- Easy installation for the first board.
- Elimination of exposed fasteners, which can cause injuries.
