Self-tapping screws

FLOK supplies self-tapping screws for metal, wood, roofing and furniture assembly, including press-washer screws, and helps select them for the task.

Self-tapping screws are fasteners that do not require pre-drilled mounting holes or thread cutting: they form their own thread as they are driven in. A screwdriver or power driver with a suitable bit is enough; no additional tools are needed.

Types of self-tapping screws

There are universal self-tapping screws, but for a reliable connection it is recommended to select a product for the specific type of material: metal, different species of wood, roofing materials, drywall, concrete. Catalogues also feature “bug” self-tapping screws, plumbing self-tapping screws, SPAX, nail-type self-tapping screws, and screw-type self-tapping screws.

The reliability of the fastening depends on matching the self-tapping screw to the material, the thread pitch, the shape and sharpness of the working part of the shank, the size of the product, and the shape of the head.

Self-tapping screws for metal and for wood. Self-tapping screws for wood-based materials have a wider thread pitch. Self-tapping screws for metal have a finer thread.

Furniture self-tapping screws. Designed for assembling furniture structures. They have a thick shank that is blunted at the working end, since the mounting holes in the parts are made at the factory in advance.

Self-tapping screws with a press washer. Used for joining metal elements. The enlarged head provides more reliable clamping fixation of the part.

Roofing self-tapping screws. The head is painted to match the colour of the roofing material. The design includes a rubber washer, which prevents damage to the roofing material and increases the clamping force of the self-tapping screw.

When ordering fasteners and hardware, especially large wholesale batches, the parameters listed above should be taken into account in advance. If you have difficulty choosing, it makes sense to contact a specialist — they will help select the right self-tapping screws based on the installation task and the materials used.
