Why Choose Cortex for Fascia?
Traditional face screws leave visible fasteners around the edge of a deck. Cortex for Composite Fascia hides every fastener beneath a matching plug, delivering a high-end, finished appearance that complements TimberTech decking. It's an excellent choice for homeowners and contractors who want the cleanest possible installation without sacrificing holding power.
For Deck Expressions customers, Cortex for Composite Fascia is an excellent upsell with TimberTech composite fascia boards, helping create a seamless, premium-looking deck from the walking surface to the finished perimeter.
