SPAX T-Star Plus T20 Fixing Thread Façade Screws 4.5 x 60mm - Silver

A2 grade stainless steel provides superior resistance to corrosion and rust, making these screws ideal for outdoor and exposed applications.

Pre-drilling is recommended for optimal performance, especially in harder woods or when working near the edge of the material, to minimize splitting. The CUT point technology helps, but pre-drilling ensures the best results.

You need a T20 Torx (T-Star Plus) bit for secure and efficient driving of these screws.

Yes, SPAX façade screws are designed to withstand the corrosive elements often found in exterior applications, including those involving treated timber.

While they are engineered for exterior façade work, their corrosion resistance and clean finish make them suitable for durable indoor projects where strength and appearance are important.

The CUT point is a special milling on the screw tip that bites into the material, enabling exact positioning and reducing the tendency for the screw to wander or split the wood during insertion.

This refers to specific types of timber profiles used in exterior cladding and woodwork. Splayed means angled or beveled edges, checked refers to grooves or slots, and chamfered means beveled edges. These screws are designed to fasten effectively into such profiled materials.

Ensure pre-drilling is performed. Check if the pilot hole is too small. Verify that the material is suitable for screwing without pre-drilling or if a larger pilot hole is needed.

Ensure you are using a T20 Torx (T-Star Plus) bit and that it is fully seated in the screw recess. Apply consistent, firm pressure.

Pre-drill a pilot hole. Ensure the pilot hole is appropriately sized for the screw diameter and material. For very hard woods, a slightly larger pilot hole may be necessary.

Ensure the countersink area is clear of debris. For harder woods, a slightly larger pilot hole can aid in the milling ribs performing effectively. Verify the T20 bit is fully engaged.
