The Strong Timber Wafer Head Screws are structural wood fasteners engineered for heavy-duty applications that require maximum holding power with a minimal, clean aesthetic. They are a high-performance, code-compliant alternative to large spikes and structural bolts.
Core Design and Performance
-
Low-Profile Wafer Head: The signature feature is the large, flat-diameter head. This design creates an expansive bearing surface for exceptional pull-through resistance, making it ideal for connecting structural members where a washer-like effect is needed. The head sits almost flush, ensuring a clean finish on exposed beams, fascia, and decorative wood elements.
-
Fast Installation: Equipped with an easy-to-drive recess, typically a Star Drive (Torx), which minimizes bit slipping and stripping. An advanced cutting tip (like Type 17) and specialized threads reduce friction and driving torque, allowing for fast starts and eliminating the need for pre-drilling in most timber.
-
Structural Strength: Manufactured from heat-treated hardened steel, these screws offer superior shear and tensile strength. The aggressive threads and often-knurled shank efficiently draw wood members together and lock the connection for lasting structural integrity.
-
Weatherproof: Available with high-grade exterior coatings (such as WAR-Coated) that provide excellent corrosion resistance. This compatibility makes them safe for use with ACQ-treated lumber and perfect for all outdoor, coastal, and damp environments.
Ideal Applications
They are the fastener of choice for:
-
Mass Timber Construction: Laminated beams, girders, and securing SIP panels.
-
Outdoor Structures: Pergolas, deck framing, and post connections.
-
Architectural Projects: Any application demanding strong structural performance with an unnoticeable or clean-profile head.
