Screws

Choose from the following categories, each of which contains a detailed explanation of how and where to use the products in question:

• Woodscrews – the common options are twin thread, chipboard, and our premium Velocity screws
• Self-tapping screws – used to secure metal and plastics without drilling a pilot hole first
• Decking screws – used to fasten timber decking to joists.
• Self-Drilling screws – a type of self-tapping screw with a drill point on the tip. Enables screws to fasten to hard materials like steel without the need for a pre-drilled hole.
• Coach screws - often confused with coach bolts, they are generally used to fasten heavy timber items like gates and fences.
• Drywall screws – used to fasten plasterboard to timber or metal stud work
• Thread forming screws – unlike self tappers, thread forming screws are tight-fitting, anti-vibration fasteners that displace the base material to form the thread, moving it into the male thread of the screw rather than cutting it away like a self tapper does.
• Carcass screws - coarse, single thread woodscrews with sharp points that are used in the furniture industry.
• Screw eyes, cup washers and screw hooks - Screw eyes are a threaded screw with a formed loop on the top. Cup washers are used in conjunction with countersunk screws to leave a decorative, neat finish. Screw hooks are effectively a screw with a hook on one end instead of a traditional screw head.
