Product Information

Full details

The SPAX T-Star Plus T15 Small Head Façade Screws are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts undertaking exterior wood projects, particularly tongue and groove cladding and façade installations. Their primary benefit is the creation of clean, non-visible connections with superior corrosion resistance due to A2 stainless steel construction. A potential caveat is the recommendation for pre-drilling in certain wood types for optimal results. Key features include a small raised countersunk head for a flush finish, a CUT point for precise positioning and reduced splitting, and an anti-friction coating for effortless screwing.

FAQs

What are these screws best used for?

These SPAX screws are specifically designed for fixing wooden facades and tongue and groove profiles, creating non-visible connections.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

Pre-drilling is recommended for best results, especially in very hard woods, to ensure precise positioning and reduce the risk of splitting. However, the CUT point and other features may allow for 'self-drilling' in softer woods, reducing the need for pre-drilling.

What does 'A2 Stainless Steel' mean?

A2 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor and harsh environmental conditions.

What size bit do I need for the T-STAR plus recess?

You will need a T15 bit for the T-STAR plus recess on these specific screws.

Will these screws rust?

As they are made from A2 stainless steel, they offer high resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use.

What is the benefit of the CUT point?

The CUT point ensures exact positioning of the screw and actively reduces the effect of material splitting during insertion, especially in wood.

Can these be used for interior projects?

While designed for exterior facades, their aesthetic appeal (non-visible connection) and corrosion resistance also make them suitable for high-humidity interior environments or projects where a clean finish is desired.

Troubleshooting

Screw head is not sitting flush (not countersinking properly)

Ensure you are using the correct T15 bit for the T-STAR plus recess. The wood might be exceptionally hard, in which case pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw thread might be necessary. Verify that the countersink area on the screw head is not obstructed.

Material splitting despite CUT point

For very dense or brittle woods, pre-drilling a pilot hole is advised. Ensure the pilot hole is of an appropriate size – slightly smaller than the screw's thread diameter but larger than the pilot tip.

Screw cam-out (driver bit slipping)

Ensure the T15 bit is fully seated in the T-STAR plus recess and that the bit and recess are clean. Apply firm, consistent pressure while driving the screw. Using a magnetic bit holder can also improve stability.

Screw not driving smoothly

Check for any obstructions in the wood or potential damage to the screw's thread or anti-friction coating. Ensure the drill/driver is set to an appropriate speed and torque setting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Superior corrosion resistance due to A2 stainless steel.
Creates a clean, non-visible finish with the small countersunk head.
Reduces wood splitting and ensures precise placement with the CUT point.
Effortless screwing due to anti-friction coating and serrated edges.
Enhanced driver control with the T-STAR plus recess.
Suitable for demanding outdoor façade applications.

Cons

Pre-drilling is recommended for best results, adding an extra step.
T15 bit recess may require a specific driver bit size.
Primarily designed for wood applications; suitability for other materials is not specified.
Cost may be higher compared to standard screws due to specialized features and materials.
Pack quantity of 100 might be insufficient for very large projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Select the appropriate drill bit: Ensure you have a T15 bit for the T-STAR plus recess.
Consider pre-drilling: While the CUT point reduces splitting, pre-drilling is recommended for very hard woods or for exceptionally precise placement to ensure the best possible finish and ease of installation.
Position the screw: Place the screw tip on the desired fastening point.
Drive the screw: Use a drill or impact driver with the T15 bit, applying steady pressure to drive the screw flush with the wood surface.

Compatibility:

Wood Types: Ideal for fixing wooden facades and tongue and groove profiles. Suitable for both softwoods and hardwoods. Always recommended to test on a scrap piece if unsure about wood density.
Tools: Requires a drill or impact driver with a T15 bit.

Care:

Cleaning: As these are stainless steel, they require minimal care. Periodically clean the façade. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Storage: Store screws in a dry place to maintain their anti-friction coating and prevent premature corrosion, although A2 stainless steel offers high resistance.
