Your guide to the right screw for the job
Choosing the right screws for your deck is crucial for ensuring its longevity, structural integrity, and overall aesthetic appeal. Several factors need to be considered when selecting screws for deck construction, including the type of decking material, environmental conditions, and desired appearance. Additionally, factors such as corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and compatibility with decking fastening systems play a significant role. By carefully evaluating these factors and understanding the options available, you can make informed decisions to ensure that your deck is built to last and meets your specific needs and preferences.

A countersunk standard head screw features a head that is designed to sit flush with or below the surface of the material it is fastening. The top of the head is typically angled, allowing it to fit into a countersunk hole.
A discrete small head flat profile screw is characterised by its compact size and low-profile design. The head of the screw is smaller compared to standard screws, allowing for a more inconspicuous appearance once installed.
The raised profile screw is characterised by its compact size and slightly raised head compared to the flat profile. The screw head protrudes slightly above the surface of the material it is fastening.
The head of this screw type is smaller in diameter, offering a more inconspicuous appearance once installed. The cylindrical head sits above the surface of the material it is fastening, providing easy access for installation and removal.
These screws typically feature a thicker shaft and a larger head diameter, offering increased strength and stability to withstand the heavy loads and stresses experienced in deck construction.
