BlackTalon鈥檚 hidden deck fastening system works with wood decks, composite decks, or other decking materials, and is reported to be easy to install while allowing for easy maintenance. If a board cracks or warps, simply loosen the clips on either side and slide the damaged board out. Then slide a new board in and tighten the clip鈥檚 screws. Other features include being manufactured from 301 full hard stainless steel alloy that allows clips to stay tight with the deck board during expansion, contraction, and sub structure movement, a proprietary leg design that holds the clip in place during installation while setting a consistent gap between boards, and an alternate leg design that allows for installations not parallel to the joist or for joist larger than 2鈥� nominal.聽
