Frequently Asked Questions

Do Spax screws require pilot holes?

Thanks to their 4CUT point technology, most Spax screws don't require pilot holes in softwoods and standard hardwoods. For very dense hardwoods or when working close to board edges, a small pilot hole may still be advisable to prevent splitting.

What's the difference between WIROX and yellox coatings?

Both are multi-layer surface treatments providing corrosion protection. Yellox (yellow zinc) offers excellent indoor protection and moderate outdoor resistance, whilst WIROX provides enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for more demanding exterior applications and treated timber.

Are Spax screws compatible with standard drive bits?

Spax screws use the T-STAR plus drive system (similar to Torx). Whilst standard Torx bits work adequately, using genuine Spax T-STAR plus bits ensures optimal performance and longevity for both screws and bits.
