STARBORN Pro Plug System for TivaDek — Complete Kit

Pro Plug® System for TivaDek Decking: Complete Color-Matched Plugging Kit

The STARBORN Pro Plug® System is the ultimate solution for installing TivaDek PVC decking with a completely fastener-free look. This comprehensive system combines the strength of top-down fastening with the high-end aesthetics of a plugged finish, ensuring your outdoor space remains flawless and barefoot-friendly.

Key Features & Performance

• Seamless Color-Matched Integration
  Plugs are made from actual TivaDek decking material, ensuring a 100% perfect match in color and grain. Once installed, fastener holes virtually disappear, leaving a clean, unblemished surface.
• Exceptional Weather Resistance
  Designed specifically for high-density PVC decking, this system handles the natural expansion and contraction of TivaDek boards. The 305 Grade Stainless Steel screws provide superior corrosion protection.
• Structural Integrity
  Unlike many hidden fasteners, the Pro Plug® System provides a strong, mechanical top-down connection, which is widely considered the most secure way to fasten PVC deck boards to the joists.

Professional Installation Workflow

• Step 1: Pre-drilling
  Use the included PRO PLUG® PVC Tool. It features a specialized bit and a free-spinning stop collar that ensures every hole is drilled to the exact depth and diameter without damaging the board surface.
• Step 2: Drive with Precision
  Use a standard power drill (strictly avoid impact drivers). Drive the screw until the Auto-Stop™ mechanism engages. You will hear a distinct “pop”, confirming the screw is set at the precise depth.
• Step 3: Secure the Plug
  Insert the color-matched plug. For a seamless look, align the grain of the plug with the TivaDek board's grain. Tap gently with a plastic mallet until flush.
