Trim Head Exterior Timber Screw (Collated & Loose)
Description

Simpson Strong-Tie Stainless Steel Trim Head screws are ideal fastners for many exterior timber applications, including weatherboards, window and door facings, boxed corners and even aluminium window and door jambs.

Weatherboard PRO Tool

The Quik Drive® Weatherboard PRO has been designed to install timber bevel back weatherboards to timber-framed houses. It was designed so builders could have a faster, easier, and more accurate way to install timber weatherboard cladding.

  • No pre-drilling required
  • Consistent countersink means no punching required
  • Trim Head for clean and less noticeable finish
  • Unique Box Threads design with raised-ridge technology greatly reduces driving torque
  • Easy to reverse out means no broken boards if the fastener needs to be removed
  • BRANZ Appraised for trusted performance
  • Suitable for NZS 3604 Extra High wind zones

Limitations on Use
  • These coated fasteners possess a level of corrosion resistance that makes them suitable for use in some exterior and corrosive environments and with some preservative-treated timber.
  • For applications in higher-exposure applications, consider Type-300 series stainless-steel fasteners for superior corrosion resistance. Bit(s) included with every box of screws.
  • Pre-drilling and countersink may be necessary at ends, butt joints, and on applications where denser material is used. Follow board manufacturers recommendations where applicable.
