About this product

The DeckWise 5/4 Hidden Siding Fastener Kit is a specialized rainscreen attachment system designed to provide a fastener-free surface for thick tropical hardwood cladding. It eliminates the need for face-screwing, solving the problem of visible screw heads and potential water intrusion points in premium exterior siding. This kit is specifically engineered for contractors and homeowners installing 5/4 (actual 15/16") thickness profiles in high-density species.

Constructed from solid 304-grade stainless steel to resist rust and chemical corrosion in exterior environments.
Features a dual-hole design that allows for secure 45-degree screw penetration, essential for vertical and overhead applications.
Includes a complete installation package with starter clips and T15 star-drive stainless steel trim-head screws.
Engineered to facilitate a rainscreen air gap, significantly reducing the risk of cupping and mold growth in dense hardwoods.
Protected under U.S. Patent No. D663,612 S.

Best used for

  • 1Residential Ipe or Cumaru rainscreen siding where a sleek, fastener-free aesthetic is required for modern architectural designs.
  • 2Vertical cladding installations using Tigerwood or Garapa, utilizing the secondary affixing hole to prevent board slip or sagging.
  • 3Soffit and overhead porch ceilings where face-fastening Massaranduba or Red Balau would be aesthetically disruptive or difficult to execute.
  • 4Commercial building envelopes where long-term durability and resistance to cupping are required for thick hardwood profiles.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods

  • Always pre-drill pilot holes through the tropical hardwood at a 45-degree angle to prevent splitting the board edge or snapping the stainless steel screws.
  • Apply a high-quality end-grain sealer to all fresh cuts immediately to prevent end-checking, which is common in high-density species like Ipe and Cumaru.
  • Ensure siding boards have acclimated to the local environment for at least 7–14 days before installation to minimize post-install movement.
  • When installing butt joints, use two fasteners (one on each board end) to ensure the joint remains tight and flush over time.
