Surface Screw Cup Washers

A screw cup washer is the small dished or recessed steel or brass disc that sits between a round head woodscrew and the timber surface, elevating the screw head slightly and providing a neat, decorative bearing face that protects the timber surface and gives a more finished appearance to exposed screw fixings. At the DIY Hardware Store, our surface screw cup washers are available in brass and zinc-plated steel in the sizes used with standard woodscrew gauges for joinery, furniture, and cabinet fitting applications.

Cup washers are used wherever a round head woodscrew is visible and a professional, finished appearance matters - fixing cabinet hinges where the screw head is on show, attaching shelf brackets with decorative round head screws, fitting hardware to quality joinery, and any application where the screw fixing is part of the visual finish rather than something to be hidden. The cup shape frames the screw head and creates a clean, intentional-looking fixing point rather than a bare screw shank against timber.
