Description
Designed Specifically for Ipe and Brazilian Hardwood Decking
The BWD Hidden Deck Clip System was developed after years of selling nearly every major hidden fastening system available for Ipe decking and other premium Brazilian hardwoods. While Brazilian Wood Depot continues to offer several fastening options, our own clip system has become the preferred choice for customers looking for the cleanest appearance, the simplest installation, and a fastening system engineered specifically around the unique characteristics of dense hardwood decking.
These clips are available exclusively with Brazilian Wood Depot hardwood decking purchases. We intentionally do not sell them separately because every clip package is matched to your decking order, ensuring proper quantities, compatibility, and installation support from start to finish.
These clips are designed for our complete lineup of Brazilian hardwood decking, including Ipe Decking, Cumaru Decking, Garapa Decking, Tigerwood Decking, Massaranduba Decking, Purpleheart Decking, and Brown Balau Decking. If you’re still deciding which species is right for your project, our Complete Ipe Decking Guide explains why Ipe continues to set the benchmark for durability, stability, fire resistance, and long-term exterior performance while also providing helpful comparisons to other premium Brazilian hardwood decking species.

Premium Features That Set BWD Clips Apart
Unlike many traditional hidden fasteners, BWD Deck Clips were engineered to eliminate common installation frustrations while improving the long-term performance and appearance of Ipe decking and premium Brazilian hardwood decking.
-
- Double-width clip design simplifies butt joints by allowing two deck boards to share a single joist using only one screw.
-
- Corrosion-resistant aluminum body with an integrated 304 stainless steel insert provides exceptional long-term durability.
- Integrated 1/8″ spacing helps maintain consistent board gaps throughout the deck.
- No angled screw installation. Screws drive straight into the center of the joist for faster, easier installation with no pre-drilling required.
- Engineered specifically for dense Brazilian hardwood decking, including Ipe, Cumaru, Garapa, Tigerwood, Massaranduba, and other premium hardwood species.
Every design decision was made to improve installation efficiency while producing a cleaner, more refined finished deck.
Our Recommended Hardwood Fastening System
While Brazilian Wood Depot continues to offer several premium fastening systems—including CAMO® Edge, Pro Plug®, and DeckMaster™ Undermount—we typically recommend pairing BWD Deck Clips for the main deck field with Pro Plug® concealed face fastening around the perimeter and stair treads.
For customers installing Ipe decking with hidden fasteners, this combination consistently delivers one of the cleanest and most refined finished appearances available while balancing installation speed, long-term serviceability, and overall deck performance.
At Brazilian Wood Depot, we’ve spent decades helping homeowners, builders, architects, and contractors install Ipe Decking and other premium hardwoods using fastening systems that maximize both appearance and long-term durability.
