It’s always critically important to get the right screw for the job. Using the right screw means screws will drive faster, more cleanly and will eliminate frustration.
We have Spax screws that are designed for an enormous range of applications.
Spax cylindrical head, stainless steel screws are designed especially for wooden decking.
Stainless steel is commonly stipulated for outdoor building projects including decking because of the superior corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel is particularly recommended in marine environments. All Spax decking screws come in either A2 (304 grade) or A4 (316 grade) quality stainless steel (or both).
A2 stainless steel offers high abrasion and corrosion resistance.
A4 stainless steel delivers extreme anti corrosion and hardness performance thanks to the inclusion of molybdenum. A4 is especially recommended for salt water or corrosive chemical settings.
Spax decking screws feature a cylindrical head that drives neatly into the decking boards for effortless countersinking of each screw with no splitting of the timber.
This results in an impeccable finish. The T-Star plus bit delivers real driving torque for fast, clean, effortless fastening even in hardwoods.
Decking screws also feature the precision ‘Cut Point’ to reduce timber splitting. And you can say goodbye to creaking deck boards thanks to the brilliantly designed fixing thread sitting just beneath the screw head.
This ensures a strong bond between decking boards and the substrate. Spax screws for decks come in 5, 6, and 8mm thickness grades with lengths of 40mm to 120mm making them ideal for all your decking, boardwalk or footbridge projects.
We also supply the Spax wood to metal screws, which are ideal for where you want to affix fencing, screens or timber decking boards to steel joists.
And the special tip allows you to screw into 5mm steel without pre-drilling. Using the Spax Drive Stop set to the correct depth will ensure that every screw is embedded perfectly every time.
The Spax timber to steel screw is suitable for fixing decking boards from 16mm to 22mm and 35mm to 50mm thick to steel joists.
Spax recommend the use of the Spax Air Spacer in all horizontal applications to allow space for any timber or steel shavings and to prevent contact between the timber and the steel for additional corrosion protection.

Pergolas can be a stunning addition to any garden area but it’s important that you use the right screws if you want a structure that remains safe and attractive for many years to come.
Spax washer head screws in 6, 8, or 10mm diameters are ideal for outdoor pergolas where there is minimal exposure to weather.
The washer head, as the name suggests, provides an enlarged head surface area that allows you to apply increased tightening power for pulling warped timbers closer together.
Spax washer head screws are Wirox coated and this coating delivers considerably better corrosion protection than standard zinc coated screws.
We also supply Spax A1 stainless steel post screws. These deliver truly solid structural support for your pergola.
Fixing timber fence posts firmly to the ground is a critical structural element of any fence.
Spax 8mm stainless steel post screws are perfect for ensuring a strong connection between timber posts and ground anchors.
The high grade stainless steel protects against corrosion and will continue to look great for many years.
Fasteners for floors can add a really smart finishing touch to any flooring type. Get the wrong fasteners for flooring and you can end up dealing with squeaky, moving floorboards.
Spax have the right screws for all timber flooring including chip board and solid timber.
The 4 Cut cutter feature eliminates pre-drilling and possible splitting. The multi-head design allows the screw to countersink itself and the Wirox coating keeps your fasteners looking great for the life of the floor.
The precision cut point enables truly pinpoint accurate screw placement on any wood from MDF to the hardest timbers.
Flooring screws come in 35mm to 80mm lengths.
Spax also manufacture a wide range of screws for wall and ceiling fixing. Flat countersunk heads are great for concealment or you can make a feature out of the smart raised countersunk screws.
A choice of coating options adds to the colour palette that you can play with and include:
- Bright zinc
- Nickel
- Stainless steel
The Spax range of screws also features screws designed for fixing wooden window and door frames as well as aluminium-framed windows and doors.
The special countersunk head delivers a clean finish even when you fix the screw on an angle. A choice of T-Star plus and H and Z cross type recesses gives you real choice for driving power and efficiency.
The4Cut design eliminates splitting and the ground serrations thread pattern delivers fast effortless driving every time.
Screws are available in 4 and 4.2mm thread diameters and 25mm to 40mm lengths.
Spax have a range of screws specially designed for fixing MDF to MDF and other thin timber composite materials.
These screws feature a slender head with a 75° sloping ribbed underside for effortless and tidy countersinking. The innovative ground serration thread type reduces material bulging and splitting.
The slender design of Spax MDF screws eliminates the need for pre-drilling. The WIROX coating ensures absolutely reliable durability.
MDF screws come in 3.5, 4, & 4.5mm thicknesses and 40 to 80mm lengths.
Balconies must be capable of bearing significant loads. This requirement makes your choice of correct fasteners critical.

Braking ribs help to prevent over-screwing.
Spax screws offer a variety of screw head designs including; flat countersunk, raised countersunk, washer head, pan head, snap-on head, and cylindrical head.
Each head type is specially designed to provide optimal driving and holding performance as well as an immaculate finish.
The Spax Flat Countersunk range of screws typically feature the multi-head design that allows he screw to drive effortlessly into timber without splitting the wood.
The milled multi-head ribs ensure the head sits neatly flush with the timber surface for an immaculate finish.
Raised countersunk heads offer an elegant solution where the bulk of the screw head is countersunk but the raised profile stands slightly proud of the surface.
This type of screw head is ideal where you want to make a feature of the fasteners such as with board and batten cladding.
Washer head screws deliver an increased ability to tighten screws thanks to the larger surface area of the head.
This is especially useful where you need to pull timbers together very tightly with up to 90% higher supporting strength and can be used to pull warped timbers neatly inline.
Cylindrical screw heads are perfect for where an immaculate countersunk appearance is desirable such as for decking, boardwalks, and bridges.
Pan head screws feature a flat surface underneath the head to maximise holding power on surfaces where a countersunk appearance is not required or possible. The slightly bevelled edge of the head provides an elegant appearance.
Snap-on screw heads are designed for applications such as snap-on profiles or roller shutter guides where significant torsional forces may come into play.
