Wood Screws

What Are Wood/Timber Screws?

Timber screws are screws specially designed for use in timber or wood-based materials. They are typically longer and thicker than traditional screws, with a tapered shank and a wide, deep thread that provides strengthened holding power in wood. 

They are available in a range of sizes, lengths, and finishes to suit different applications and preferences. The screws can be used with a variety of drive types, including Phillips, square, and Torx drives, among others.

Wood screws come in two primary varieties, interior and exterior. Exterior wood screws are usually galvanised or zinc plated to offer protection against rusting. Zinc, chrome, and hot-dip galvanising are among the most frequently used coatings/platings.

Coach Screws

For applications requiring extreme clamping force and load-bearing capabilities in timber, coach screws (also known as lag screws or lag bolts) are the go-to fastener. These heavy-duty screws are characterised by their hexagonal head and coarse thread.

Flooring Screws

A squeaky or unstable floor can be a constant annoyance. Our dedicated range of flooring screws provides the perfect solution for securely fastening floorboards and subflooring, ensuring a quiet, solid, and long-lasting finish.

Decking Screws

The longevity of your deck hinges on the quality of its components, especially the screws. Our decking screws are specifically designed to endure the harsh realities of outdoor environments.

Joinery Screws

In the world of fine woodworking and cabinetry, precision and a clean finish are everything. Our joinery screws are crafted especially for these demanding applications, offering subtle yet strong connections without compromising aesthetics.

Wood Screw Benefits

Wood screws are typically equipped with a sharp pointed end, accompanied by deep twin threads, enabling fast and precise insertion, while the shank design helps to reduce the likelihood of wood splitting.

With a seemingly endless selection of sizes, lengths, materials and types to choose from, woodworking screws are incredibly versatile. 

• Their unique range of head types, points, drives and threads combined with platings and coatings give them the ability to be used for anything from softwood to hardwood construction projects or joinery work on MDF boards or timber pieces. 
• Different drive types can provide advantages in terms of speed and ease of use. For example, a certain drive type may be easier to use with power tools, while others may be better suited for hand tools or specialised applications.
• Different types of drives can also offer varying levels of torque, which is the force that causes rotation. Some drive types may provide greater torque and be better suited for heavier-duty applications, while others may be more suitable for lighter tasks where precision is important.
