Feeney DesignRail Panel Infill
Feeney’s DesignRail Panel Infill is said to significantly expand design potential for exterior and interior spaces. Options include stainless steel wire mesh panels, laser cut aluminum panels, and resin panels with embedded materials such as rice grass and leaves (for interiors). Available for 36″ and 42″ railing heights, the infills can be mixed-and-matched with other DesignRail infill types—including CableRail, glass, vertical cable and pickets—and are compatible with all DesignRail top rail styles and with Feeney Post Accent Lights. The laser cut panels can be powder coated in any DesignRail color or custom color. The infills are developed to fit easily into the pre-engineered DesignRail frame and are surrounded on all sides with a low-profile aluminum channel, which is said to provide a streamlined appearance with minimal transition from panel to frame. For the stainless steel wire mesh panels, components are fully isolated to prevent contact among dissimilar metals. The panels can be customized to meet almost any design specification. www.feeneyinc.com
Grabber UltraPro wood screws
UltraPro wood screws by Grabber include Lox Recess, an advanced feature with eight contact points designed to allow more torque than other wood screws without slippage. The QuickGrab point engages and starts immediately into wood, said to make it easier to stabilize the screw and to drive off angle and into tight spots. UltraPro’s unique UltraCut threads are designed to clear out wood chips as the screw drives in reducing friction and binding. UltraPro’s DrawTite threads feature is engineered to pull wood members together as the screw seats, resulting in a tighter and more accurate connection. The Scavenger II spiral head design self-countersinks, even into hardwoods, leaving a flat flush surface, the company says, and its GrabberGard Gold coating includes a limited lifetime warranty against corrosion. www.grabberpro.com/ultrapro
TurboClip

TurboClip works with all major composite deck boards. www.turboclipusa.com
