FAQs

What size screws should I use?

Use the Spax T-Star Plus T20 Flooring Screws with the dimensions of 4.5mm x 60mm. They are designed for use with chipboard flooring.

Can these screws be used outdoors?

Yes, the WIROX coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Do I need to pre-drill before using these screws?

No pre-drilling is typically required, thanks to the 4CUT point. However, in very dense or older chipboard, pre-drilling can be beneficial.

What type of bit do I need?

You need a T20 bit, which is included in the package.

How many screws are in a pack?

A pack of Spax T-Star Plus T20 Flooring Screws contains 300 screws.

What is the benefit of the fixing thread?

The fixing thread securely holds the floorboard in place, effectively minimizing creaking and enhancing stability.

Where can I buy these screws?

These screws are available at most hardware stores and online retailers.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping during installation.

Ensure the correct bit size (T20) is used and the drill is set to the appropriate torque. Reduce the drilling speed and apply firm, even pressure. If the screw is damaged, replace it.

Floorboards creaking after installation.

Check if screws are properly installed, ensuring they are flush with the surface. Tighten any loose screws. Check for gaps between the subfloor and the chipboard flooring and address any issues.

Difficulty in driving the screws.

Make sure the drill is perpendicular to the flooring surface. Use a drill with enough power and torque. In some cases, pre-drilling may be necessary, especially in older or dense chipboard.

Screws not countersinking properly.

Ensure the drill is set to the correct depth. Avoid over-tightening. If needed, countersink the screw heads manually using a countersink bit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior corrosion resistance due to WIROX coating, suitable for various environments.
  • 4CUT point and serrations for easier and more precise installation, reducing wood splitting.
  • Flat countersunk head provides a clean, flush finish.
  • Fixing thread minimizes floorboard creaking and enhances stability.
  • T-STAR plus (T20) bit recess and included bit for convenient use.
  • Specifically designed for chipboard flooring, ensuring optimal performance.

Cons

  • May require pre-drilling in very dense materials.
  • Limited to use with chipboard flooring.
  • The included bit might wear out with heavy use, requiring replacement.
  • While the WIROX coating is robust, it can still be scratched during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the correct size Spax T-Star Plus T20 Flooring Screws (4.5 x 60mm) for your chipboard flooring.
  2. Use the included T20 bit and a suitable drill or screw gun.
  3. Position the flooring panels and align them correctly.
  4. Drive the screws at the recommended intervals, typically every 6-8 inches along the joists.
  5. Ensure the screw heads are flush with the flooring surface.

Compatibility:

  • These screws are specifically designed for use with chipboard flooring.
  • Compatible with most standard drills and screw guns.
  • Ensure the drill bit is in good condition to prevent stripping the screw head.

Care:

  • Store the screws in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
  • Wipe off any debris or moisture immediately after exposure.
  • Avoid over-tightening the screws, as this can damage the flooring.
