Hidden Strength in Redesigned Deck-Fastening System
When you’re investing in premium wood decking, it’s vital to choose the right fastening method to ensure durability while also letting the natural beauty of the wood stand out. The new EB-TY® Premium Hidden Deck-Fastening System™ does just that. It blends strength with ease of installation in a fastener that won’t detract from the deck’s finished appearance. We’ve redesigned the entire EB-TY Premium fastening system which now includes a stainless-steel reinforcing plate that adds stiffness to hold boards in place securely. The innovative new biscuit design combined with our EB-GUIDE predrilling tool provides a complete system that not only offers increased strength but is also easy to install.

The EB-TY Premium system comes as a kit with all the necessary hardware, including EB-TY Premium biscuits, screws, deck plugs, an EB-GUIDE predrilling tool, a 1/8" quick-release drill bit and a T-15 6-lobe driver bit. Learn more about the EB-TY Premium system.

Expand Your Options with the Strong-Bolt® 2
The Strong-Bolt 2 wedge anchor is now available in Type 304 stainless steel for all standard sizes. It was previously available only in Type 316 and carbon steel. The additional product offering allows you to choose the best material solution for your job. The Strong-Bolt 2 anchor is an optimal choice for cracked and uncracked concrete. Following rigorous testing according to ICC-ES acceptance criteria, the Strong-Bolt 2 received classification as a Category 1 anchor, which is the highest attainable category for performance in cracked concrete under static and seismic loading. It is code listed by ICC-ES under the 2015 IBC and ACI 318 strength design requirements for post-installed anchors in cracked and uncracked concrete.
