Wood screws are specially designed for wood-to-wood fastening. With their smooth shank and sharp threads, they pull two pieces of wood tightly together to form a secure, lasting bond.
Pan head screws have a flatter profile with a slightly rounded edge, making them ideal for securing flat hardware to wood surfaces. Round head screws feature a traditional dome-shaped profile, providing a classic look and extra clearance.
Square head wood screws (also known as Robertson drive screws) offer exceptional torque and reduce drive slippage (cam-out). They are excellent for heavy-duty woodworking, structural connections, and automated installation processes.
Floorboards screws are uniquely designed to handle the movement of wood flooring. They typically feature specialized threads to prevent wood splitting, and a countersunk head structure that sits flush with the flooring surface to eliminate squeaks.
