What’s the difference between the 60mm and 75mm versions?
The 60mm screw is ideal for standard decking boards and joists, while the 75mm option offers deeper penetration for thicker or more structural applications. Both use a TX25 Torx drive.
Are these suitable for hardwood decking?
Yes. These screws are designed for both softwood and hardwood. The hardened core and sharp tip give excellent bite and durability even in dense timber.
Can I buy smaller pack sizes?
Yes – in addition to full tubs (500 for 60mm, 400 for 75mm), we offer 200- and 100-piece packs for smaller projects or top-ups.
Are the screws corrosion-resistant?
Absolutely. They’re coated with Elementech 2000, offering up to twice the corrosion resistance of standard screws – perfect for outdoor use in all weather conditions.
What size driver bit do I need?
These screws are compatible with a TX25 Torx bit, ensuring a solid drive with minimal cam-out.
Are these screws CE approved?
Yes – they are CE approved for use in load-bearing timber construction, giving you peace of mind on structural projects.
