Difference Between Long Tek Screws and Timber Screws – Applications and Uses

Release time:2020-01-16 18:44 Browse:

Tek Screws and Timber Screws serve different structural purposes based on their design, materials, and installation environments.

1. Structural Design:

  • Tek Screws feature a self-drilling tip (e.g., #3 or #5), allowing them to penetrate metal directly without pre-drilling.

  • Timber Screws have a sharp point or cutting notch, ideal for gripping wood fibers, but unsuitable for metal.

2. Material Compatibility:

  • Tek Screws are used with metal structures, such as steel frames or metal sheets.

  • Timber Screws are designed for wood applications, including beams, decking, and carpentry joints.

3. Typical Applications:

  • Long Tek Screws are applied in steel roofing, cladding, and multi-layer metal assemblies.

  • Long Timber Screws are used in timber framing, wooden house construction, decking, and outdoor landscaping.

4. Materials & Surface Coating:

  • Tek screws are typically made from carbon steel or alloy steel, treated for hardness and corrosion resistance (e.g., Zinc Flake, Ruspert, DACROMET).

  • Timber screws often use carbon steel or stainless steel, with anti-corrosion coatings for long-term wood exposure.
