Starborn Industries, a manufacturer and distributor of premium fastening product systems, announced the availability of corrosion-resistant star drive Grade 316 uncoated stainless deck screws. Starborn has long offered both Grades 305 and 316 in its Headcote line of stainless steel screws with colour-coated heads. Now, Starborn’s uncoated stainless line, Deckfast Stainless, will also be available in stainless grades 305 and 316.
The new Grade 316 stainless deck screws offer top-level protection for high-corrosion environments, such as pools, marinas, large bodies of water, and areas that encounter salt water or salt air. The screws prevent the staining of costly deck materials. The corrosion-resistant properties of Grade 316 stainless screws also help maintain the value of decks, and the homes they are attached to.
“Grade 316 stainless steel deck screws are a top-of-the-line product from Starborn”, said Starborn’s Larry Crossley. “Not all stainless fasteners are the same. It is important to use Grade 316 stainless if you are working in environments where corrosion is a concern.” Deckfast Stainless screws are available in a full range of sizes, in both trim and flat head, and feature auger points for a fast start and extra-deep star drive recesses favoured by professional builders.
