FASTENING DECKING BOARDS WITH SCRAIL®

SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners, by BECK, can help you with your promise of building a good quality deck with a worthy value. They have many advantages over traditional screws and nails, here are a few.

THE BENEFITS OF THE SCRAIL® SYSTEM

Benefit #1
Using Scrail® while building a terrace
Reduces wood splitting

SCRAIL® SPLITLESS® System - This system has been specially developed for the rapid installation of high-end decks and similar applications such as footpaths, boardwalks, etc. The specially designed blunt tip of the SCRAIL® nail screw fastener greatly reduces wood splitting in both the deck layer and the substructure. For additional corrosion protection, they are available in stainless steel or FasCoat®. The additional holding power of our patented Diamond Coating always comes standard on our SCRAIL® SPLITLESS.

Benefit #2
Mounting with Scrail® Invisideck®
Up to 5 times faster

SCRAIL® INVISIDECK® System - Blind fastening systems have become indispensable in modern decking installation. While conventional blind fastening systems require you to drive in screw after screw in a time-consuming process, you can do this up to 5 times faster and therefore more cost-effectively with the INVISIDECK® SCRAIL® nail screw  fasteners and the pneumatic INVISIDECK® tool. Everything you need in one system for blind fastening!

Benefit #3
Scrail® Systems
Lower labor costs

All of the SCRAIL® deck fasteners can be used with power-driven pneumatic, or cordless tools. These tools make installation quick and easy and twice as fast as using hand driven bulk screws. This not only saves you labor costs but also ensures you have customers who are happy that you finished their job on time.

Benefit #4

Removable and reusable

All SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners are designed in a way that allows you to remove them, readjust and reuse them, all without damaging your decking material. This will allow you to deconstruct any portion of the deck to allow for adjustments, repairs, and to ensure a thorough paint job. It can then be put back together without the need for new deck fasteners. This could save your company a great deal of time and money.

Benefit #1

Choose the SCRAIL® SPLITLESS® nail screw fastening system to combine quality, efficiency and a flawless finish - your terrace will thank you!
