SPAX A2 Stainless Steel Façade Screw With Very Small Head

The very small head facade screw.

Features and benefits:

• An invisible fixing solution.
• Anti-friction coating; available in silver and Blax (black) finishes.
• Countersinks easily.
• CUT point reduces splitting of the wood.
• Quick, safe and secure fastening with minimal effort thanks to serrations.
• No rust marks.
• Long lasting.

The special power drive – T-STAR plus – is a so-called hexalobular socket. Compared to less precise drive types such as Philips or Phillips, the contact surface of SPAX’s T-STAR plus is significantly larger, and the T-STAR plus bits always fit perfectly in the screw head. The resulting optimal, precise power transfer from screwdriver to screw with the T-STAR plus enables simple and extremely fast work, and is significantly more efficient than with any other drive.

• Of all SPAX’s screw head shapes, the raised countersunk head is by far the most decorative. Whereas the countersunk head screw is completely flat to allow the screws to be countersunk flush, the raised countersunk head offers a slightly convex curve on the top. Depending on the screw type and surface finish (stainless steel, nickel-plated, WIROX, and antique), these screws become not only a necessary fastener but also a decorative element. This plays a role, for example, in furniture construction and when attaching baseboards.
• Screws with a partial thread are suitable for attaching components such as wood-based panels, boards, floorboards, and even squared timbers to load-bearing components such as stud frames or posts (here with our HI.FORCE). While the thread works its way through the load-bearing component, the unthreaded shaft of the partially threaded screw should pull completely through the upper attachment. As the screw is screwed in further, the screw head will pull the upper component towards the lower component. This creates maximum contact pressure between the two components when the screw is screwed in. This effect is ideal, of course, when the unthreaded shaft is at least equal to the thickness of the attachment.
• The CUT tip of SPAX screws allows for extremely fast and effective screwing in of their wood screws without pre-drilling. The arrow-shaped CUT tip, combined with the wave profile, reduces splitting and cracking of the wood. Furthermore, the CUT tip enables very precise and non-slip application of the screw tip, even on smooth surfaces.
• The abbreviation A2 for stainless steel screws comes from the steel's alloy. ‘A’ stands for "austenite," a mixture of iron, carbon, and the alloying elements chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. The 2 (1-5) indicates the alloying grade, i.e., the chromium and nickel content.
• A2 stainless steel screws offer high corrosion protection and medium strength. However, their resistance to seawater and acids is low. They are therefore used outdoors in areas far from the coast, where they provide long-lasting, reliable service.
