Screws are one of the most common chipboard fixings and are ideal for joining chipboard sheets together or attaching them to other materials such as metal or plastic. When using screws with chipboard, it is important to pre-drill pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting and to ensure a tight fit. Additionally, choose screws with coarse threads and a sharp point to penetrate the chipboard easily.

How Do They Work?

What Are Self-Drilling Screws?

The hallmark of self-drilling screws is their ability to create their own pilot holes, negating the need for pre-drilling, which can save significant time and effort during installation. The 13mm self-drilling screw is typically constructed from high-strength steel, ensuring durability and reliability. These screws often feature a sharp, drill-point tip which enables them to penetrate various materials quickly and efficiently. Coupled with a robust thread design, they provide excellent holding power, making them ideal for fastening metal, wood, and other materials.
