Learn more about lag screws and how they work. If you work with heavy lumber and material that bear intense loads, then you've likely had to use lag screws before. Lag screws are used for industrial projects to fasten pieces of lumber together. They're ideal for wood fence panels, deck boards, stair repairs, and more.
You've built a wooden deck frame and posts. Here's how to fasten boards with deck screws. Start from the rim joist of the deck frames. Square the first deck board, and drill a pair of pilot holes about an inch from the board's edges into the rim joist. The pilot holes prevent splitting as you drive in your decking screws. Continue securing boards with two screws at each end to each joist. If using wet lumber, keep the boards flush- they'll contract as they dry. If using dry lumber, leave drainage gaps as you go. One more tip: If you're using pressure-treated lumber, you should use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized screws. When you have a specific decking screw variety in mind, such as flat heads, ceramic-coated, stainless steel or others, All Points Fasteners is your go-to provider.
Bugle head screws are primarily designed for us with drywall and woodwork. they feature a countersunk head with a flat top and concave under-head bearing surface. These screws are especially useful in applications where the screw must lie flush in the material and eliminate the need to predrill a countersinking hole. You can order bugle head screws with Phillips, slot, torx, and square drive types. These screws have a smooth transition between the shank and head that protects construction materials and creates an attractive finish.
TEK® type screws, also called self-tapping fasteners or self-drilling screws, are a popular screw type with drill-bit ends that enable them to self-drill. Their innovative tip design allows users to perform drilling applications without creating a pilot hole before fastening. You can use a drill or an electric screwdriver to driver TEK® screws. For extra assurance that the screw will go in straight, you can create a pilot hole, but it’s not necessary. Whether or not you use a pilot hole, you want to make sure that the metal thickness of the piece you are drilling into is thinner than the length of the drill point on your screw. For the best results with TEK® screws, drive the screw in slowly to ensure it goes in straight. Tighten it firmly without excess force. TEK® screws are useful for drilling a wide range of materials like metal sheets, aluminum, stainless steel, wood and timber.
ZIP screws are fasteners that feature a threaded design that tapers to a fine needlepoint. These screws offer incredible penetrating power because their threads are machined all the way down to the end of the point. What’s more, these screws include a second thread that catches just after the first penetration, sending the fastener into its space twice as quickly. Zip screws are self-piercing with an extra sharp tip point, and self-tapping with threads that don’t require a pre-threaded nut. You’ll most likely find them in the HVAC and gutter industry, although they have numerous other uses as well. Request a quote from All Points Fasteners today!
