Features and Benefits
The PRO PLUG™ System from Starborn Industries is a revolutionary solution for concealing fasteners in a wide range of building materials. Designed for both professional contractors and discerning DIYers, this innovative system ensures a clean, seamless finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any project. Whether you're working with composite decking, hardwood, PVC, or other popular materials, the PRO PLUG™ System offers a discreet and durable alternative to traditional screw heads.
Core Advantages
- Invisible Fastening: The primary benefit of the PRO PLUG™ System is its ability to hide screws completely, creating a smooth, unblemished surface.
- Durability and Longevity: The system is engineered for superior holding power and long-term performance, resisting loosening and blowout.
- Ease of Use: With a simple, efficient installation process, the PRO PLUG™ System saves time and reduces labor costs.
- Material Versatility: Available for a broad spectrum of decking and building materials, offering a consistent solution across different project types.
- Corrosion Resistance: Utilizes high-quality fasteners and plugs designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, preventing rust and staining.
Features and Benefits
The PRO PLUG™ System is comprised of specialized high-performance screws and pre-colored plugs. The screws are engineered with features like a trim head and a reverse thread, which work together to pull the plug tight and prevent the material from splitting. This unique screw design is crucial for achieving a flush and stable installation.
- Specialized Screws:
- Trim Head: Designed to countersink cleanly into the material, providing a low profile for the plug.
- Reverse Threads: Located on the upper part of the screw shank, these threads engage with the material above the plug, pulling it securely into place and creating a strong hold.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials for excellent strength and resistance to shear and pull-out.
- Pre-Colored Plugs:
- Exact Match: Plugs are precisely color-matched to popular decking and building materials, ensuring a virtually invisible repair. This attention to color consistency means the repaired area blends seamlessly with the surrounding material.
- Durable Material: Constructed from materials that match the expansion and contraction rates of the substrate, preventing cracking or loosening over time.
- Weather Resistant: Designed to withstand UV exposure and moisture without degrading, maintaining their color and structural integrity in outdoor applications.
- Proprietary Installation Tool: The system requires a specific drill bit and counterbore tool.
- Drill Bit: Creates the pilot hole for the screw.
- Counterbore Tool: Simultaneously drills a clean pocket for the plug and a pilot hole for the screw shank, ensuring perfect alignment and depth for each fastener. This integrated approach streamlines the installation process and guarantees professional results.
By combining these components, the PRO PLUG™ System delivers a superior fastening solution that not only looks good but also performs exceptionally well. The system is ideal for creating clean, smooth deck surfaces, siding installations, and other applications where exposed screw heads are undesirable. The ease of installation, combined with the aesthetically pleasing results, makes the PRO PLUG™ System a valuable asset for any construction or renovation project.
