Product Overview:

The ForgeFast Elite Performance Tongue and Groove Wood Flooring Screws are engineered specifically for fixing tongue and groove floorboards to timber flooring joists, ensuring the integrity of the flooring is maintained without damage during installation.

These screws feature a reduced head with under-head ribs, allowing for self-countersinking, resulting in a flush finish with the next board. The anti-split, fast-start thread quickly engages for rapid initial pick-up, reducing both drive torque and installation time with no pre-drilling required. Designed for a firm hold with improved pull-out, the double cutting point also reduces splitting and drive time, with the capability of penetrating 0.8mm steel.

The screws are CE-approved for use in load-bearing timber construction and boast an environmentally friendly, Non-Cr, Cr3+ yellow/zinc plated surface. Additionally, the Elementech 400 surface coating offers corrosion resistance, ensuring these screws last six times longer than standard zinc-coated screws. Suitable for interior use, they have been salt spray tested for 400 hours for enhanced durability.
