Chipboard Screws
General Information
Chipboard screws—also known as particle board screws or quick assembly screws—are specially engineered to overcome the limitations of traditional wood screws when used in chipboard and various wood-based materials.
They incorporate several technical improvements that enable fast and efficient installation with modern tools, significantly reducing assembly time and costs.
Key Properties
- Optimized thread geometry
- Thread angle reduced from 60° to 40° for improved performance in wood-based materials
Advantages
- Smaller core diameter (with the same outer diameter), ensuring better penetration and reduced material stress
- Thread runs close to the head in standard versions for improved holding strength
- Available in:
- Fully threaded
- Partially threaded versions
- Sharp, self-centering tip:
- Easier start
- Reduced wobbling during installation
- Often eliminates the need for pre-drilling
- Deeper, sharper thread profile:
- Cuts into the material instead of displacing it
- Reduces splitting and edge damage (e.g. when installing fittings on doors and windows)
- Improved performance:
- Up to 35% higher pull-out strength
- Up to 40% lower installation torque
Material
Chipboard screws are manufactured from:
- Stainless steel, or
- Case-hardened / surface-hardened steel
These materials provide:
- Higher strength and wear resistance compared to standard wood screws
- Improved cutting performance
- Reduced risk of damage during installation
The screw core remains tough, preventing head breakage under bending stress.
Installation
Steel chipboard screws are coated with a corrosion-resistant lubricant, reducing installation torque and ensuring smoother driving.
Drive types
Available with:
- Pozidriv (Z) drive
- Hexalobular (Torx-type) drive
