The introduction is driven by consumer demand for beautiful, long-lasting outdoor living spaces, according to Michael Engle, senior of branded products at PrimeSource Building Products.
“More homeowners want decks and patios where they can just enjoy the outdoors, without having to worry about replacing corroded screws,” said Engle. “Grip-Rite DeckForce screws are designed to be easy to use and provide the finish people want.”
The PrimeGuard Nano Coating technology is formulated to provide a seamless seal and smooth finish, making screws ultra-corrosion resistant. The coating carries a lifetime guarantee, giving pros and homeowners confidence in the integrity and security of their projects.
The Grip-Rite DeckForce line includes two different models specifically engineered for wood or composite decking.
The wood screws are designed for building wooden decks and fences, with a T-17 auto-pilot tip, dual-action auger threads, a diamond-file shank, and a patent-pending wedge-lock head. They can be used in both treated and non-treated lumber.
The composite screws are suited for composite and PVC decking, with aggressive saw teeth, a T-17 saw tip, and hi-lo threads with an undercut head – to speed installation and achieve the ideal finish.
The wood and composite screws feature T-25 and T-20 star drive heads for a secure grip when installing. Both sets of screws are available in multiple colors, allowing installers to color-match to the deck material and provide a clean, uninterrupted look.
While currently available at Lowe’s, Grip-Rite DeckForce screws will launch nationally at the 2024 International Builders Show in Las Vegas.
