At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, our wing drill screws are available for the timber-to-steel and timber-to-timber applications in flooring, decking, and structural assembly where this specialist drive characteristic is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wings break off when the screw tip reaches the steel or hard substrate beneath, at which point the thread begins to engage - ensuring that the top timber piece is drawn firmly down to the substrate without being lifted or distorted by the thread grip in the upper material. This makes wing drill screws the specified fastener for fixing timber decking and flooring boards to steel joists and framing, where the thread must only engage the steel member and not the timber above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWing cutters ream timber hole larger than thread diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWings break off on contact with steel substrate below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread only engages steel member - pulls timber down firmly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard for timber decking fixed to steel joists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecessed countersunk head for flush surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in standard decking and flooring lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wing-drill-screw","title":"Wing Drill Screws Recessed Countersunk (Sold as singles)","description":"\u003cp\u003eStreamline your metal-to-timber fastening with these innovative wing drill screws.
