Klevaklip is a multi-board concealed fixing product, working on a ‘fixed pitch’ principle that provides a consistent gaping of the boards. As each board is inserted into the Klevaklip it tightens the previous board, providing a significant holding power of the board into the clip.

The Klevaklip for Modwood decking has been designed to fit the 88x23mm and 137x23mm Natural Collection Range, Flameshield and Marina decking boards.

In 2018 KlevaKlip launched its “Snap-LOC” decking clip, superseding the metal ModWood decking clips that had been successfully supplied to the market for over 10 years.

 

Made from a high quality, UV stabilised, impact modified Engineered Nylon, the Snap-Loc clips are:

• Faster to Install – Whether by screws, nails or nail-guns
• Easier to handle – lighter and no sharp edges, plus easier to cut (still use tin-snips)
• Superior holding power – 32mm of “tooth” rather than 2 small pointed teeth
• Non-Corrosive – able to be used in all coastal areas or salt or chlorinated pool environments
• UV Stabilised to last the life of your deck
• Extremely easy to use

 

Features and Benefits: 

• Aesthetic appeal – your deck looks great without the detraction of top-fixed screws and nails

Important Notes: 

• It is essential to follow the steps listed in the KlevaKlip Installation Guide when using the clips.
• Klevaklip is not suitable for non-square decks or irregular joists heights.
• Whilst the fixing of boards into the clip is fast and will save time over most conventional fixing methods, it is important that extreme care is taken with installing your first row of clips.

Q2. What fasteners do I require for Klevaklip for Modwood decking?

Klevaklip recommends that you use Galvanised 8 gauge button head screw (head less than 2mm) on a timber substrate.

On a metal substrate it is recommended to use a 10 gauge x 16mm wafer head screw.

Q3. Do I require an adhesive for installation of the Klevaklip clips?

Klevaklip highly recommend the use of adhesive products in their installation guide. It is recommended to use an MS, SMX or Polyurethane based outdoor adhesive product.

 

 

Q4. What is the role of adhesives when used with the Klevaklip ad Modwood Decking?

The Modwood Natural Collection Range have a groove along the side to accommodate the “teeth” of the Klevaklip. This give the board excellent holding power within the clip, even without the use of adhesive.

The addition of the adhesive however serves to:

• Give some assistance to holding power of the clip
• Prevents any lateral movement of the board in the clip – other than the normal expansion/contraction of the board
• Prevents any possibility of board rattle in the clip
• Provides a very stable base for the board to sit in the clip
• Helps to provide a very soft, quiet feel for someone walking on the deck
