Shopping for chipboard screws, but you aren’t quite sure which you need? Thanks to the expert advice available here at Ace Fixings, you will find the screws and tools you need in no time at all.
The specific screw you will need depends on the density of the material. Here’s everything you need to know about chipboard screws before heading to checkout:
What are chipboard screws?
Chipboard screws are self-tapping. Their thin shaft will prevent the material from splitting, and their coarse threads will secure the screws to the chipboard. Often confused with woodscrews, chipboard screws have a thread that runs along the screw’s length to the underside of the head.
Chipboard screws are ideal when looking to fasten chipboard to wood or another piece of chipboard, as these softer woods offer little resistance, and there’s less chance of the screw withdrawing.
With some wood being generally harder than chipboard, you may also need to check our wood screws range.
