How Secret Fix System Works?
Our state-of-the-art clips can be effortlessly fitted between deck boards and fixed to the joists, ensuring the walking surface is free of visible screw heads.
It also prevents warping of the boards.
Secret fix system can be used for both timber and metal joists.
Our system guarantees that the gaps between the boards are uniformly spaced, resulting in a sleek and polished appearance.
Rely on our pioneering solution to elevate your outdoor space to the next level.

NewTechWood Australia provides the choice of two different gap spacings between the boards – 5.5mm or the Mini Gap – 1.5mm spacing.
We offer two different clips to accommodate your gap preference:
- Cobra T-Clips, for 5.5mm gap

Mini Gap decking Clip system

When top fixing is needed
Coloured Head Screws
Fascia boards and square edge boards do not have grooved sides to accommodate the Secret Fix Clips, so need to be top fixed with Coloured Head Screws. These are specially designed for conventional and capped composite boards. For a seamless finish choose coloured head screws to match the colour of the board:
While many screws are not entirely flush with the boards, NewTechWood top fixing screws are designed to completely blend with the decking surface and give excellent safety paired with great aesthetic.
Thanks to our Coloured Head Screws in colours matching to deck boards, your deck built with NewTechWood boards and Top Fixing Screws will have a perfectly seamless look.
Our coloured head screws are available in two ranges:
- Deck Hedz Stainless steel grade: 304 (CDS and CS) and Carbon Steel (CSM) and

Predrilling
These top fix screws require pre drilling to When top fixing screws ensure you pre-drill the hole slightly larger than the screw allowing the boards to expand and contract.

If thicker than 2mm, then you must pre-drill each hole.
