Product Overview
M4.5 x 55 Brown Decking Screws for reliable board-to-joist fixing in hardwood, softwood, and treated timbers.
Each screw is manufactured from Ruspert-coated steel, featuring a durable three-layer metallic coating of zinc, film, and ceramic.
This advanced finish offers excellent corrosion resistance and a subtle, low-visibility appearance that blends seamlessly with stained or dark decking boards.
The countersunk head draws boards tight for a flush, professional finish with reduced movement and creak.
A sharp, coarse thread provides fast bite, controlled driving, and dependable pull-down across dense timber boards and composite decking.
Features & Benefits
- Exterior durability: Hardened carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coated finish for outdoor decking conditions.
- Flush finish: Countersunk head clamps boards to joists for a smooth walking surface.
- Fast bite: Coarse single thread and sharp point promote rapid insertion and strong pull-out resistance.
- Timber compatibility: Suitable for softwood, many hardwoods, and pressure-treated joists; pilot drilling recommended for dense boards and near edges.
- Visual blend: Brown coating helps minimise head visibility on darker or stained timber.
- Nominal size: M4.5 x 55mm.
- Tub quantity: Supplied in a box of 200 for efficient deck coverage and fewer on-site restocks.
Applications
- Dense timber decking: Provides deep thread engagement for hardwood or high-density treated boards.
- Composite decking boards: Reliable fixing into timber subframes; maintains hold under thermal movement.
- Perimeter trims and step edges: Ensures tight, flush fixing in visible deck details.
- Intermediate joist fixing: Suitable for standard board-to-joist attachment where extra bite is required.
- Outdoor carpentry: Ideal for heavy fascia boards, planters, and structural edging in garden projects.
Installation Guidance
- Pilot & clearance: Pilot dense hardwoods and pre-drill near board ends to limit splitting.
- Driving technique: Drive at moderate speed with steady pressure; avoid over-torque that can strip fibres.
- Head seating: Countersink until flush; do not bury the head below the board surface.
- Good practice: Maintain consistent board gaps and fix each board with two screws per joist line.
Compliance & Performance
- Manufacturing reference: Produced to relevant timber fastener requirements (EN 14592 reference for mechanical fasteners).
- Corrosion protection: Exterior coated finish suitable for typical residential exposure; check local exposure class.
- Substrate suitability: Use with timber and most composite-over-timber installs; verify composite manufacturer guidance.
- Safety: Wear eye protection; support boards during fixing.
- Important note: For aggressive/coastal environments or permanent wet areas, specify stainless steel grade fasteners.
