Product Overview:

The ForgeFast Elite performance MDF and chipboard flooring screw is specially engineered for fastening flooring-grade boards to timber structures, ensuring a secure and durable fit. Designed with a double cutting point, these screws penetrate the tough, dense surfaces of flooring materials with ease.

Featuring an anti-split, fast-start thread, they offer quick engagement, ensuring rapid pick-up upon insertion. With reduced drive torque requirements and no need for pre-drilling, installations are efficient and hold firmly for lasting stability. The under-head ribs allow for self-countersinking, resulting in a flush, secure finish. The double cutting point reduces drive time and minimises splitting, while its robust build enables penetration of up to 0.8mm steel.

CE-approved for load-bearing timber applications, these screws are ideal for reliable construction. The Elementech 400 surface coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, prolonging durability and extending lifespan. The environmentally friendly Non-Cr, Cr3+, yellow/zinc-plated coating is salt spray tested to withstand up to 400 hours, ensuring it lasts up to six times longer than standard zinc coatings.
