Cost comparison of an installation with hardWood Clip™ and one with visible screws

EXAMPLE: Wood deck INSTALLATION

Deck surface : 1 m2
Deck boards width : 140 mm
Number of boards : 7

With visible screws
With hardWood Clip
Number of screws per m2 : 42
Number of screws per m2 : 21
Number of holes to be drilled per m2 : 42
Number of holes to be drilled per m2 : 0
Number of holes to be countersunk per m2 : 42
Number of holes to be countersunk per m2: 0

Cost of installation with hardWood Clip™ compared to an installation with visible screws

Number of fasteners needed = 50% of the number of screws needed
(fasteners are only installed on one side of the boards, while screws are on both sides)

Time savings of 30% to 40%
(50% fewer fasteners to install, no pre-drilling or countersinking, no measuring spacing between boards, no chalk line needed to align screws)

Less hole drilling (particularly with hardwood)
(no pre-drilling or countersinking)
