Tough screws for tough jobs 19 July 2023

When it comes to exterior construction jobs, tradespeople want a screw that can withstand the test of time and the unpredictability of the elements. With that in mind, Samac performance exterior screws are designed for any exterior wooden, ironmongery, or fencing project, where a long-lasting finish is required.

Samac Fixings Ltd uses Ruspert ceramic coating in silver or black to ensure its performance exterior screws can resist environmental corrosion, particularly when it comes to outdoor projects – where exposure to moisture and salt can significantly accelerate the corrosion process. “The Ruspert coating has an exceptional resistance to high moisture and salty conditions, ensuring the screws maintain their integrity and won’t degrade over time, even when used with treated timber,” explains Samac.

The screws are also designed with a pan or countersunk head. The large diameter of pan head screws makes them ideal for high torque assembly jobs, while the flat underside ensures a firm hold even with enlarged holes. The countersunk screws provide an aesthetically pleasing look and offer a neat and secure finish, reducing potential hazards like snagging.

Salt spray tested to 1,000 hours, Samac performance exterior screws are available in a range of sizes from 25mm up to 50mm in silver or black pan head, as well as 25mm up to 100mm (black countersunk), and 150mm (silver countersunk), and stocked by independent merchants across the UK.
