About this product

The DeckWise 1x Rainscreen Hidden Siding Fastener Kit is a specialized hardware system designed to secure 3/4 inch net thickness tropical hardwood siding without visible face-screws. It functions by creating a structural air gap between the siding and the building envelope, which promotes ventilation and moisture drainage to prevent cupping and rot. This system is engineered specifically for architects and contractors working with high-density materials like Ipe and Cumaru that require precise movement management.

Manufactured from solid Marine Grade T304 Stainless Steel for superior corrosion resistance in all climates.
Engineered specifically for 1x (3/4" net) thickness hardwood siding boards.
Creates a consistent 1/4 inch rainscreen gap to allow for essential airflow and drainage behind the cladding.
Includes T15 Star Drive stainless steel screws to ensure high-torque installation without stripping.
Black oxide coating on fasteners provides a low-profile, shadow-like appearance between board gaps.

Best used for

  • 1High-end residential Ipe or Cumaru siding installations where a clean, fastener-free aesthetic is required.
  • 2Commercial exterior cladding using Garapa or Tigerwood to create a modern, ventilated rainscreen system.
  • 3Vertical siding applications for Massaranduba or Red Balau where mechanical fastening must account for gravity and moisture runoff.
  • 4Coastal siding projects where T304/305 stainless steel is required to withstand salt-air environments without staining the wood.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods

  • Always pre-drill pilot holes in dense hardwoods like Ipe and Cumaru to prevent the wood from splitting and to ensure the fastener sits perfectly flush.
  • Allow your tropical hardwood siding to acclimate to the local environment for a minimum of 7 to 14 days before installation to minimize movement after the fasteners are set.
  • Use a high-quality end-sealer on all cross-cut ends of the hardwood boards during installation to prevent end-checking and moisture intrusion.
  • Ensure furring strips are properly aligned and leveled, as the hidden fastener system relies on a flat substrate to maintain a uniform shadow line.
