What is the benefit of using Latitudes slotted decking instead of standard composite decking?
Latitudes slotted decking comes with a premachined 5/32-inch groove along the sides of the board to accommodate the Equator® hidden fastener. The Equator hidden fasteners are designed to properly space the boards at ¼” and allow for the expansion and contraction on the length and width that naturally occurs on composites. The screws provided with the Equator hidden fasteners have black painted heads to greatly reduce the potential glare caused by the sun, keeping the fasteners truly hidden. Because Latitudes Marine decking is thicker than other Latitudes deck boards, it is not available with a pre-machined groove.
