FAQs

What size screw should I use?

The 4.2 x 45mm screws are suitable for most flooring applications. For thicker flooring, consult with a professional.

Do I need to pre-drill?

No, the CPT hardened design eliminates the need for a pilot hole in most materials.

Can I remove the screws?

Yes, the screws can be removed without damaging the board.

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

You will need a Pozi screwdriver bit.

What materials are these screws suitable for?

Softwood, fibreboard, and hardwood.

What is Tri-Lock threadform?

The Tri-Lock threadform prevents the screws from working loose over time.

Are these screws CE certified?

Yes, they are CE certified.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to drive in.

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver bit and apply firm, steady pressure. If the wood is particularly dense, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole.

Screw head is not flush.

Check for obstructions under the head. If the board is slightly uneven, use a countersinking tool to create a recess for the screw head.

Squeaking continues after installation.

Ensure the screw is fully engaged and the board is securely fastened. Check for any movement in the subfloor.
