W Clip 30
Hidden fixing for fitting deckboards to aluminium or composite joists
Key advantages.
- Class A Fire Class Rating
- Bespoke and unique design
- Ideal for Fire Rated Decking Systems
- Designed to fit boards with central side milling profiles

W Clip is a hidden fixing clip for deckboards made from electrocoated aluminium.
This gives W Clip a Class A Fire Class Rating, making it ideal for use with Wallbarn’s comprehensive Fire Rated non-combustible decking system.
IMPORTANT: Always drill a pilot hole of 3mm diameter using the red jig with a hardened steel drill bit into the support rail before attempting to install the W Clips.
It is black in colour and has been designed, developed and produced by Wallbarn to provide a hidden fixing to deckboards with a central side milling profile.
W Clip is available 60mm or 30mm long. The width of the W Clip at the underside is 5mm so the gap between deckboards once fitted will be between 5 and 6mm.
W Clip is supplied with the fixing screws included and attached to the clips for easier and faster installation. Being made from aluminium, W Clip is rated Class A so is ideal for non-combustible decking projects.
Wallbarn recommends pre-drilling aluminium rails / joists before fitting fixing clips.
The clip is a bespoke and unique design developed from scratch by Wallbarn to complement its comprehensive decking & substructure system.
W Clip was designed to fix the Exadeck porcelain and C Deck cement fibre boards; to complete the Fire Rated, Class A, non-combustible.
However, the horizontal wings at the top of the clip fit securely into a central side milling profile of any deckboard so is ideal for a large variety of decking projects.
The clip has flat horizontal wings to fit into the grooves at the sides of the deckboards, and a “chock” box detail at the bottom so that the clip sits on the rail without tipping before and during the fixing process; meaning they will not fall out of position and makes the fixing process faster and easier with less waste.
In addition, W Clips are supplied with the black stainless steel screws part-inserted into the screw chambers. This avoids them falling out of the fixing during installation, reducing waste and time significantly.
The screws are self-drilling screws suitable for fixing to aluminium. For WPC composite joists, alternative screws can be supplied on request.
Each bag of W Clips has a red clip with enlarged holes to act a jig to pre-drill pilot holes in the rails before fixing the clips.
