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. 14G x 80mm Torx 30 (TX30) drive for easy screw driving, only 10.6mm diameter head compared with 13.8mm heads on batten screws. Made from solid stainless steel 316 these screws are ideal for highly corrosion saline environments such as beachfront properties.
Breakthrough decking screw 14G x 80mm 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.
