KEBONY INTRODUCES DURALIFE™ STEP-CLIP™ FOR KEBONY TO MAKE DECK INSTALLATION SIMPLE,
QUICK AND SECURE
Surfacing a Deck Can Be Done in Half the Time of Traditional Installation Methods
OSLO, NORWAY – June 12, 2019 – Environmentally friendly modified wood manufacturer Kebony
today announced the launch of the DuraLife™ Step-Clip™ for Kebony system available in the US,
according to Andy Hehl, Kebony US Manager.
The Step-Clip for Kebony system uses easy to install strips along with custom profiled Kebony deck
boards to minimize the time and labor spent surfacing decks. First, strips are placed directly onto the
joists with a pneumatic nail gun. Each strip is designed to not only protect the top of the joists,
eliminating the need for joist protection tape, but also properly spaces each deck board. Once the
strips are properly laid, the installer simply steps on the Kebony deck boards to snap them into place,
making installation simple, easy and fast.
“Builders and contractors will save significant time surfacing decks and spare themselves fatigue with
this new system,” Hehl said. “Using it eliminates several tasking steps in conventional deck
installation.”
With this system, the risk of installer mistakes is significantly reduced, and installers can use their time
more wisely, as there is no need to stop and wait for special cuts or posts; Step-Clip enables them to be
completed after the main boards are installed. The Step-Clip for Kebony system is sold with 1-1/4”
stainless steel ring shank coil roofing nails, so there isn’t a need to buy specialty hardware to use the
system.
Design elements supported by Step-Clip for Kebony include picture framing, feature/divider boards,
perpendicular divider boards, and others. This quick, easy to install to system reduces time and creates
a stunning Kebony deck without visible surface nails or screws.
