Starborn Pro Plug System for Deckorators Picture Frame Decking

The Starborn Pro Plug® System for Deckorators Picture Frame Decking is a concealed fastening solution designed specifically for face-fastened applications such as picture-frame borders and perimeter boards. The system combines specially engineered deck screws, color-matched composite plugs, and a proprietary setting tool to provide the structural strength of traditional top-down fastening while maintaining a clean, finished deck surface. Each plug is precision-cut from actual Deckorators decking material, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the surrounding boards for a consistent, professional appearance. During installation, screws are driven through the deck board using the Pro Plug PVC/Composite setting tool, which features an Auto-Stop™ mechanism that drives the fastener to the correct depth without stripping the screw recess or damaging the board surface. Once the screw is properly seated, a matching composite plug is inserted and tapped flush with the deck surface, fully concealing the fastener head. This simple two-step process ensures a secure connection to the joists while delivering a smooth, screw-free finish. Designed for areas where hidden clip systems cannot be used, the Pro Plug System is ideal for picture-frame decking, board ends, and other exposed locations that require face fastening. By combining durable corrosion-resistant screws, precisely matched plugs, and a depth-controlled installation tool, the Starborn Pro Plug System provides a reliable and visually seamless fastening solution for Deckorators picture-frame decking installations.
