Can I use these screws for outdoor projects?
Yes, the Elementech 2000 coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use.
Do I need to pre-drill before using these screws?
The screws have a self-drilling thread, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in most soft and hardwoods. However, pre-drilling may be necessary for very hard timbers or when screwing close to the edge.
Are these screws suitable for load-bearing applications?
Yes, they are CE approved for use in load-bearing timber construction.
What sizes are available?
Available in 7x65mm and other sizes, please check product details for available sizes.
What is the difference between the green and tan finishes?
The green and tan finishes offer different aesthetic options. Both finishes provide the same level of performance and corrosion resistance.
Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping or cam-out.
Ensure you are using the correct Torx driver bit size and applying sufficient pressure. Reduce driving speed.
Timber splitting during installation.
Although designed to reduce splitting, pre-drilling may be necessary for very hard timbers or when screwing close to the edge. Ensure you are using the correct screw length and diameter for the application.
Screw not fully driving into the timber.
Ensure you are using the correct driver bit size and that the timber is free of obstructions. If the screw still will not drive in, consider pre-drilling.
