Wood screw

Wood screws are threaded fasteners designed for securing components into wood or wood-based materials, featuring a sharp point for self-tapping and a coarse thread for optimal grip. These screws are available in various head types (countersunk, round, pan, hex) and drive systems (Phillips, Pozidriv, Torx, hexagon), with diameters typically ranging from 2.5 mm to 10 mm and lengths from 10 mm to 200 mm. Materials include carbon steel with zinc or galvanized coatings for corrosion resistance, stainless steel (A2/A4) for outdoor use, and brass for decorative applications. Key technical parameters include tensile strength (up to 800 N/mm² for hardened steel), thread pitch (coarse or fine), and point type (sharp, self-drilling, or blunt). Wood screws are categorized by standards such as DIN 96, DIN 97, DIN 571 (lag screws), and ISO 1479, ensuring compatibility across global markets. They are essential for joinery, furniture assembly, decking, and structural timber connections, often requiring pre-drilling for hardwoods to prevent splitting.

Wood screws are predominantly used in construction, carpentry, and DIY projects, including framing, roofing, flooring, and cabinetry. In industrial settings, they secure electrical enclosures, control panels, and automation equipment to wooden mounting boards or structures. They are also critical in the assembly of wooden pallets, crates, and packaging for logistics. In renewable energy, wood screws fasten solar panel mounting rails to wooden roofs or ground frames. Their versatility extends to marine applications (stainless steel variants) for boat building and dock construction, as well as in furniture manufacturing for chairs, tables, and shelving units. The choice of screw depends on load requirements, environmental exposure (indoor/outdoor), and material density.

Our inventory includes subcategories such as countersunk wood screws (DIN 96/97), hexagon head wood screws (DIN 571), self-drilling wood screws, and decorative brass screws. Key article codes follow patterns like WS-xxxxx (e.g., WS-4x40 for a 4 mm diameter, 40 mm length countersunk screw) or DIN96-xxxx (e.g., DIN96-3.5x30 for a 3.5x30 mm screw). We stock Torx drive variants (T10 to T40) for high-torque applications and Phillips drive (PH1 to PH4) for general use. Stainless steel A2 and A4 grades are available with codes like SS-A2-5x50. For heavy-duty tasks, lag screws (DIN 571) are offered in diameters up to 24 mm and lengths up to 300 mm. All products include technical datasheets with tensile strength, coating thickness, and drilling recommendations.
