Stainless steel trim head wood screws for chemically treated materials, plywood applications, and weather-exposed wood.
Boasting diminutive 6mm diameter heads, stainless-steel finishing trim screws deliver a pristine, professional appearance. They are ideal for an array of outdoor applications where a subtle screw head is desirable. The star drive head ensures a remarkably secure connection with the screwdriver bit. Once you've experienced star drive screws, you'll never revert to conventional screws again. These screws surpass slotted, Philips, Pozi, and square drive screws in every way. The deep, six-point star-shaped recess allows the driver bit to firmly lock in place, and the increased contact area means the bit grips the screw more securely, minimising installation torque. Coupled with a sharp cutting tip that effortlessly penetrates wood and a serrated thread, you have an exceptionally impressive screw that drives smoothly into most types of timber.
While 304 and 316 stainless steel are strong, the Molybdenum in 316 gives it a slight strength edge over the 304. 316 stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant.
Yellow zinc plating applies a chromate compound with high trivalent or hexavalent chromium content to protect against corrosion and achieve a yellow hue.
With an alloy composition of chromium and nickel, A2 stainless steel annular ring nails offer top-tier protection against rust and corrosion for outdoor projects. Their exceptional durability and resistance to environmental elements ensure longevity and reliable performance in any weather.
