Solid Wood Floor Screws

A solid wood floor screw is a type of fastener that is specifically designed for use
in installing solid wood flooring. These screws are typically made from high-quality
steel and are coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. Solid wood
floor screws are designed with a narrow shank that is topped with a wide, flat head
that helps to distribute the load and prevent the screw from sinking into the wood.
The thread pattern on solid wood floor screws is specifically designed to provide
maximum holding power and to reduce the risk of splitting or damaging the wood
during installation.

Flooring Screws

A flooring screw is a type of fastener that is designed specifically for use in flooring
installations, such as laying hardwood or laminate flooring. These screws are
typically made from high-quality steel and are coated with a layer of zinc or another
corrosion-resistant material to prevent rust and damage over time. Flooring screws
are designed with a narrow shank and a flat or countersunk head that sits flush with
the surface of the flooring material.

Stainless Steel Screws

A stainless steel screw is a type of fastener that is made from a corrosion-resistant
an alloy of steel and at least 10.5% chromium. The addition of chromium to the steel
gives it a high level of resistance to rust, corrosion, and staining, making it an ideal
material for use in outdoor or moist environments where other types of screws
might corrode or degrade over time.

Plusdrive Woodscrew

A plus drive woodscrew is a type of wood screw that features a unique drive system
designed to provide maximum grip and torque when driving the screw into wood.
The "plus" drive system is characterized by a specially-shaped recess in the screw
head that allows for a tighter and more secure fit between the screwdriver and the
screw. This system helps to reduce the risk of the screwdriver slipping or stripping
the screw head, making it easier to drive the screw in without causing damage or
reducing the holding power.

Plasterboard Anchor

A plasterboard anchor, also known as a drywall anchor or wall anchor, is a fastener
used to attach objects to drywall or plasterboard walls. These anchors are designed
to provide a strong and stable hold in walls that are not capable of supporting heavy
loads on their own. Plasterboard anchors come in various forms, but most commonly,
they are plastic or metal inserts that are driven into a pre-drilled hole in the wall.
Once inserted, the anchor expands, creating a secure hold that allows screws or
other fasteners to be attached to the wall without damaging the drywall or
plasterboard.

MDF Board Screws

An MDF screw is a type of fastener that is specifically designed for use in
Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) materials. MDF is a type of engineered wood
the product is made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood
fibres, combining them with wax and a resin binder, and then forming panels by
applying high temperature and pressure.

Decking Screws

A decking screw is a type of fastener that is specifically designed for use in outdoor
decking applications. These screws are made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant
materials such as stainless steel or coated steel, to withstand exposure to the elements
without rusting or corroding. Decking screws are characterized by their unique thread
design, which helps to prevent the screw from working its way back out of the wood
over time.

Timber Construction Screws

A timber construction screw is a type of fastener that is specifically designed for use
in timber construction and woodworking projects. These screws are typically made
from high-strength steel and feature a variety of specialized features, such as deep
threads, sharp points, and sharp cutting edges, that allow them to easily penetrate
and hold timber materials. 

Chippy Screw

"Chippy screw" is a slang term for a type of wood screw that features a sharp,
self-drilling tip and a wide, coarse thread that is designed to quickly and easily
penetrate the wood. These screws are commonly used in the construction industry,
particularly in framing and other applications where speed and ease of installation
are important. They are often coated with a layer of zinc or other corrosion-resistant
material to protect against rust and damage over time.

Hollow Wall Anchor

A hollow wall anchor, also known as a cavity anchor or toggle bolt, is a type of
fastener that is designed to provide a secure hold in walls with hollow or cavity
spaces, such as drywall or plasterboard. These anchors work by expanding
behind the wall surface to create a stable and secure attachment point for screws,
bolts, or other types of fasteners. Hollow wall anchors typically consist of a
threaded bolt or screw, which is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the wall, and an
anchor or toggle, which expands behind the wall surface when the bolt or screw is
tightened. The anchor or toggle then provides a secure and stable hold that allows
objects to be attached to the wall without damaging the surrounding material.
