Winged low profile screws

Wingtext the indispensable connectors for wood and steel. Discover how these specially designed fasteners ensure a sturdy connection between two materials with different properties.

Wingtek screws are specially designed for fastening wood to steel. The wingtek screws have wings that create a wider hole in the wood, preventing the thread from getting clogged during insertion. The drill point of the screw drills a hole in the steel surface. Once the wings touch the steel, they break off, allowing the thread to secure itself in the steel. At the same time, the milling ribs under the head of the screw ensure a nice countersinking of the screw in the wood. In this way, wingtek screws offer an efficient and reliable solution for connecting wood in steel.
