Stainless Steel Starter Clip with Screws (pack 10)

Our Stainless Steel Starter Clips are the professional way to begin any composite decking or composite cladding projects. While standard T-clips secure the boards to each other, the starter clip is designed to anchor the very first board (and the final board) to the joist subframe. By sliding the grooved edge of the board into these clips, you create a rock-solid foundation for the rest of your deck without having to drive a single screw through the top surface of the board. Made from high-grade 304 stainless steel, these clips are entirely rust-proof and won’t corrode, even when in contact with pressure-treated timber or exposed to coastal air. Their low-profile design ensures that the first board sits perfectly flush and level, which is critical for ensuring the rest of the deck remains straight. Using these clips allows for a truly “seamless” look from the very first inch of your patio, maintaining the clean, modern aesthetic that composite decking is known for. “Invisible” Start & Finish: Specifically designed to grip the outer edge of the first and last boards, ensuring a clean, fastener-free look across the entire deck surface. 304 Grade Stainless Steel: Highly resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring your deck remains securely fastened for decades in all weather conditions. Easy to Install: Simply screw the starter clips to the edge of your joists, then slide the first board into place. It provides a quick and accurate setup for the rest of the installation. Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit perfectly with the side-groove of most standard 25mm thick composite decking boards. Essential for L-Trim: Using starter clips ensures there are no screw heads in the way when you come to fit your finishing L-trim or fascia boards.
