Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the benefit of the zinc yellow passivated finish?

The zinc yellow passivated finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion, extending the life of the screws, especially in outdoor environments.

What is a Pozidrive screw?

A Pozidrive screw has a cross-shaped recess in its head, designed to prevent the driver from camming out. It offers improved grip compared to a Phillips head.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc yellow passivated finish provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor applications.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

Pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods to prevent splitting. It’s also advisable for any wood prone to splitting.

What size screw should I use?

Select the screw length that is appropriate for your project, making sure that it can penetrate the wood securely without protruding from the other side. Screw diameter should be chosen according to the wood type and the load bearing requirements.

What does CE approved mean?

CE approval indicates that the screws meet the European safety standards and are suitable for use in load-bearing timber construction.

How many screws are in a box?

A box contains 50 screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping

Use the correct size and type of screwdriver bit (Pozidrive). Apply firm, even pressure. If the issue persists, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole.

Screw not going in straight

Ensure you are applying the screw straight. Pre-drilling can help to guide the screw.

Wood splitting

Pre-drill holes, especially in hardwoods. Reduce the driving speed. Use a screw with a sawtooth thread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to the zinc yellow passivated finish.
  • Sawtooth thread and reamer features reduce wood splitting and improve performance.
  • Quick start point allows for faster and easier installation.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Selection: Choose the correct screw length and diameter for your project. Consider the thickness of the wood and the required holding strength.
  2. Pre-Drilling: Always pre-drill holes in hardwoods to prevent splitting.
  3. Driving: Use a Pozidrive screwdriver bit. Apply consistent pressure while driving the screw.
  4. Finish: Ensure the screw head is flush with the wood surface.
  5. Care: Store the screws in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

These screws are compatible with most types of wood. Always check the load-bearing requirements for your specific project.
