Hidden Fastener Compatible Groove Profile

The groove profile works with industry-standard hidden fasteners, delivering a clean, screw-free surface finish on every Missouri deck build.

Maintenance

Always Use the Correct Gap Spacing

Add a 1/4 to 3/8 inch gap between boards. A KDAT spacing tool ensures consistent, accurate gaps every time.

Install With Hidden Fasteners

KDAT groove boards work with standard hidden fastener systems, giving your deck a clean, screw-free surface finish.

Paint, Stain, or Seal Right Away

No drying wait needed. Unlike green lumber, KDAT boards are ready to stain or seal immediately after installation.

Cut and Drill With Standard Tools

Kiln drying leaves boards smoother and cleaner. No specialty blades needed, standard tools deliver precise, professional cuts.

Store Boards Flat and Covered Before Installation

Keep boards flat on a level surface and covered until installation day to prevent warping and protect the brown finish.
