In contrast to the single-slot drive, the cross recess drive (also known as a Phillips drive) offers the advantage that the screwdriver blade can no longer slip out to the side and cause damage to the workpiece. Due to the tapering of the inner flanks in the cross recess, however, an axial force occurs when the screw is tightened, which pushes the blade out of the drive. This phenomenon is also known as the cam-out effect. The cross recess H drive is also used on our window construction screws (FEX), since the screwing-in torque is not too high. What this means for you: A simple Phillips screwdriver is all you need to install your windows quickly and securely.
A snap-on head has a so-called collar between the thread and the screw head. This collar has the task of holding attached clamping profiles made of metal or plastic in the axial direction of the screw. This is relevant in window construction, where our FEX-RS roller shutter screw is put into action. Its sharp, wide thread of 5 mm diameter (all the way to below the head) self-drills into plastic or metal window frame profiles upon insertion. There is no better or faster solution for clamping roller shutter guides, weatherboards, cover and wall connecting profiles. What this means for you: No time-consuming pre-drilling of screw holes on plastic profiles – saving you lots of time during installation.
Our needle point is characterised by a steeper, longer screw tip. This enables sturdy, precise screw-setting on smooth substrates. It also ensures a rapid start in metal and plastic profiles. What this means for you: No slipping on smooth surfaces, less exertion during fastening.
Effective corrosion protection is a must for screws used for outdoor structures not exposed to the elements. For this, SPAX has developed the WIROX coating, which far outdoes conventional galvanisation in terms of both protection and durability. Our WIROX-coated screws are significantly more resistant to mechanical stress than their counterparts with chromate conversion coating. No chromium(VI) is used for WIROX, which means that even after years in an area not directly exposed to the elements, the screws are not only just as resilient, but are entirely environmentally friendly, too. Our WIROX screws are the ideal choice for all open structures without direct exposure to the elements, such as carports and pergolas. For areas with extreme weather exposure, such as decking, we continue to recommend our stainless-steel screws. What this means for you: When you use our corrosion-protected screws outdoors, you can be safe in the knowledge that your structure is well fastened – in outdoor areas not directly exposed to the elements, WIROX keeps our screws statically rigid and reliably protected over many years. So there's no need for visual inspections every year!
In contrast to the single-slot drive, the cross recess drive offers the advantage that the screwdriver cannot slip out to the side and cause damage to the workpiece. The cross recess H drive is used on our window construction screws (FEX) and drywall screws (GIX), since the screwing-in torque is not too high.
A snap-on head has a collar between the thread and screw head, which holds attached clamping profiles made of metal or plastic in the axial direction of the screw. The snap-on head is a feature on our FEX-RS roller shutter screw, whose sharp, wide thread with a 5-mm diameter (all the way to below the head) self-drills into plastic or metal window frame profiles.
Our needle point is characterised by a steeper, longer screw tip. This enables sturdy, precise screw-setting on smooth substrates. It also ensures a rapid start in metal and plastic profiles.
With WIROX, SPAX has developed a coating that is far superior to galvanisation when it comes to corrosion protection. No chromium(VI) is used for WIROX, which means that even after years in an area not directly exposed to the elements, the screws are not only just as resilient, but are entirely environmentally friendly, too.
