Here’s everything you need to know about concrete framing screws before heading to checkout: 

What are concrete frame screws?

Concrete frame screws are countersunk self-tapping anchors designed specifically for attaching wood or metal framing to concrete, brick, or block surfaces. Made of high-strength steel, concrete framing screws feature a unique thread design that allows them to grip securely into the concrete. 

Concrete frame screws can withstand both tension and shear forces, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of applications. The screws we have in this range are perfect for fixing uPVC and timber frames to masonry; ideal for door and window frames. 

How do concrete framing screws work?

Concrete framing screws have sharp and deep threads, which allows them to ‘bite’ into the concrete surface and provide a strong and durable hold. 

To install a concrete framing screw, you need to drill a pilot hole first. The hole should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw, as this will help to ensure a tight grip and prevent the screw from spinning or stripping. The concrete frame screw is then inserted and driven into the concrete using a power drill. 

The size and length of the screw determine the load-bearing capacity of concrete framing screws. The larger and longer the screw, the greater the load-bearing capacity.
