Samac Fixings has announced the launch of its TEK Screw range, engineered for a wide range of applications where materials such as wood and metal need to be screwed together – without the need for pre-drilling.
TEK screws feature a self-tapping thread, allowing them to cut their own thread into the material they are fastening, along with a drilling point. This dual functionality offers a quick and effective way to join two materials seamlessly.
Understanding the rigorous challenges that outdoor and extreme environments pose, Samac Fixings has engineered this comprehensive collection of TEK Screws with an emphasis on resilience. Each screw is treated with an advanced 1500-hour Ruspert Coating, providing outstanding resistance to corrosion and ensuring these fasteners stand up to the elements with unprecedented toughness.
The range includes the Hex Head Self Drilling Screw with two options for light and heavy section steel to steel fixing. The screw for light section steel features a TEK 3 drill point while the screw for heavy section features a TEK 5 drill point that eliminates the time and effort needed for pre-drilling. For those seeking extra stability and protection, the option to pair with a G16 galvanized bonded washer is available, water tightening the fixing and strengthening the fastener against weather-induced wear.
The Hex Head Self Drilling Screw (Sheet to Timber) incorporates a Type 17 Cut point, maximising thread engagement with timber for a secure, reliable hold. This screw is designed specifically to pierce through sheet metal to anchor it tightly to timber frameworks, providing a versatile solution for steel-to-material applications.
The Countersunk Self Drilling Screw with Wings excels in joining timber to light or heavy section steel. Its unique wings carve out cavities in the timber, preserving structural integrity even while the timber expands and contracts. When the screw reaches steel, the wings snap off so the screw thread can engage with the material.
Completing the range is the Hex Head Self Drilling Stitching Screw (Sheet to Sheet), bringing Samac’s signature blend of strength and smart design to the table. The Samac Fixing’s TEK Screw range is expanding and features a wide array of sizes, available in packs of 100.
