If you're looking for a decking screw for heavier hardwood boards but reduced 'stainless steel visual overload', whilst maintaining high corrosion resistance and easy, neat installation, then these are a brilliant option. Torx 30 (TX30) drive for easy screw driving, only 10.6mm diameter head compared with 13.8mm heads on batten screws. High corrosion resistance suitable for most non-coastal areas.
Breakthrough decking screw most suited to wider boards (135-150mm) and heavier thickness boards (23-38mm), when strength needs to match aesthetics.
Although batten screws (14 gauge) are great for heavier timber boards for decks and boardwalks, the head diameter is often a deterrent. These screws blend batten screw strength, with easy installation with the increasing more common Torx drive (TX30) and a neat finish to match.
