Popular Main Collections and Sub-Collections

Our range of Unreinforced Frames – Friction Stay Screws covers a diverse selection of screw types, sizes, and finishes designed to suit different window installation needs. Here are some of our key collections:

Gimlet Tip Screws

Gimlet tip screws are designed for precision and ease of insertion, making them ideal for wooden window frames and applications requiring a clean, secure fit. The gimlet tip ensures that the screw enters smoothly without splintering the wood, providing a tight fit and enhancing the performance of window fabrication.

  • Perfect for Timber Frames: These screws are commonly used in timber frame installations, offering a clean insertion and secure hold.

Hi-Low Thread Screws

Hi-low thread screws are engineered for superior performance, offering excellent grip and reduced risk of loosening over time. Their unique thread design is perfect for unreinforced frames, ensuring that the screw holds tightly without damaging the material. These screws are particularly beneficial when working with metal window frames and timber window structures.

  • Ideal for Mixed Material Applications: The hi-low thread design provides optimal performance when used with a variety of materials, making it versatile for both metal and wood framing.

Shallow Pan Countersunk Head Screws

Shallow pan countersunk head screws combine the benefits of both a pan head and countersunk design, providing a secure fit with a flush finish. These screws are perfect for installations where you need a clean surface while maintaining a strong, reliable hold.

  • For Clean, Neat Installations: The shallow pan design ensures a smooth, professional finish for your window installations, especially for wood and metal frames.

Self-Tapping Window Screws

Self-tapping screws are designed to make installation quicker and more efficient. These screws create their own hole as they are driven in, which eliminates the need for pre-drilling. This feature makes them ideal for metal window frames, as well as for applications where speed and convenience are a priority.

  • Speed and Efficiency: Save time with self-tapping screws, especially when working on large-scale projects or tight deadlines.

Countersunk Head Screws

Countersunk head screws provide a smooth, flush finish, making them ideal for situations where a neat and seamless appearance is required. The countersunk head allows the screw to sit perfectly within the surface of the material, preventing any protrusions and offering a clean, professional look.

  • Aesthetic Installations: Perfect for timber frames, metal frames, and any project where a flush, clean finish is needed.
