Screws

The function of a screw is to tightly secure hardwood together. A screw prevents the wood from deforming. Unprocessed wood always deforms in the long run. A screw provides stability and prevents the wood from deforming. Therefore, it is very important that you use the right screws.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is needed to prevent a screw from rusting. Rusting screws are a disaster, the screw loses its strength by rusting and will eventually snap off. The function of stainless steel screws is that they permanently, therefore definitively, connect the planks to each other. The decay of a screw due to rust, or the breaking of the screw gives the hardwood plank the chance to move. A natural movement of any type of wood is that the board will pull to the left or right. The warping of a hardwood board is also a natural process for wood. With the right self-drilling screw, this can easily be prevented. To prevent this, you should use the correct number of screws per board and per project as indicated on the construction sketch. The construction sketch or assembly instructions clearly indicate where and how you should screw. Don't you want a beautiful and durable result? Then use the hardwood according to our construction guide. We clearly indicate online where you should mount the stainless steel screws. We want you to be satisfied for a very long time with the hardwood we have delivered. Therefore, the correct implementation of the assembly instructions is essential. Stainless steel based material is the best screw you can use for clamping hardwood boards.

The force exerted on the screw when you turn the screw into the wood is very strong. With stainless screws in the Torx variant, you can apply force needed to turn the screw into the wood properly. This is not possible with a crosshead screw! Only apply the prescribed screws from Hardhout Discount. With a Torx screw you have the right grip on the head of the screw, which is not possible with a crosshead screw. Pre-drilling of hardwood is necessary to prevent splitting or cracking. We sell drill bits with a counter bore cutter, which is easy to use to fasten the screws splinter-free later on. Pre-drilling ensures that the possibility of splitting is reduced to almost zero. All of our Torx screws always have an extra drill head at the end of the screw. The drill head ensures that the screw will be extra fastened. It’s also referred to as a self-drilling spax screw. This is very important for a long-lasting result. Stainless steel screws won't rust. The Dutch abbreviation RVS stands for Stainless Steel, so no rusting. Hardhout Discount has developed a screw, mixing normal steel with stainless steel, not to be confused with a standard spax screw. That way the alloy of stainless steel screws have become a lot stronger. An alloy is the material from which a screw is made. Stainless steel screws are not stress-proof enough for hardwood. So only using stainless steel screws to attach boards is not enough. We have mixed stainless steel with normal steel to create a new and stronger alloy. This type of screw doesn't rust, and is 4 times as strong as standard stainless steel screws.

Wood lives on so shrinking or swelling is always possible. The hardwood at Hardhout Discount is of outstanding quality but only remains straight if the correct screws are used.

No matter how beautiful the wood is, it only remains straight and in great condition if you use the screws we prescribe.
