Spax FAQs

Is Spax suitable for professional use?

Absolutely. Spax is widely regarded as one of the premium screw manufacturers in Europe, consistently rated highly by professional tradespeople for quality, reliability, and innovative design features. German manufacturing ensures consistent quality control, whilst patented technologies like the 4CUT point and T-STAR plus drive system genuinely improve installation efficiency on site.

Do I need pilot holes with Spax screws?

One of the key advantages of Spax screws is their 4CUT point technology, which eliminates the need for pilot holes in most applications, even in hardwoods. The point design cuts cleanly whilst the serrated thread reduces splitting risk. For extremely hard timbers or installations very close to board edges, pilot holes may still be advisable, but for the majority of carpentry and construction work, you can drive Spax screws directly.

What is Wirox coating and when should I use it?

Wirox is Spax's proprietary corrosion protection system providing up to 400% better protection than standard zinc plating. The distinctive bronze-gold finish offers excellent weathering resistance for exterior applications like decking, fencing, and cladding where stainless steel isn't essential but reliable corrosion protection is required, making it an economical choice for outdoor construction projects.
