Tongue-Tite flooring screws are designed to provide a strong, concealed fixing for tongue and groove flooring. Their innovative thread design delivers excellent holding power while reducing the risk of timber splitting and allowing boards to be removed if required.

1. What are Tongue-Tite Tongue and Groove Screws?

Tongue-Tite screws are specifically designed for installing tongue and groove flooring. Their unique Tri-Lock threadform ensures a secure hold, preventing floorboards from loosening over time and eliminating squeaky floors.

2. What size are these screws?

These screws measure 3.5mm in diameter and 45mm in length, making them ideal for securing standard tongue and groove floorboards.

3. How many screws are included in a box?

Each box contains 200 screws, sufficient for fixing up to 10 square meters of flooring.

4. What are the key features of these screws?

Tri-Lock TS Thread: Combines single and twin threads for a strong grip without splitting the timber.
Self-Countersinking Head: The small head design allows for a flush finish, ensuring the next board fits seamlessly.
No Pilot Hole Required: Can be driven directly into most hardwoods and softwoods without pre-drilling.
Zinc Yellow Coating: Provides corrosion resistance for enhanced durability.

5. Do these screws come with a driver bit?

Yes, each box includes a free TX10 Torx driver bit, compatible with the screw heads for easy installation.

6. Are these screws suitable for both hardwood and softwood flooring?

Yes, Tongue-Tite screws are designed for use with both hardwood and softwood tongue and groove floorboards, as well as fibreboards.

7. Can these screws be removed without damaging the floorboards?

Yes, unlike nails or adhesives, Tongue-Tite screws can be removed if necessary, allowing for easy lifting of boards without causing damage.

8. Is a pilot hole necessary when using these screws?

In most cases, no pilot hole is required. However, for very hard timbers or when screwing close to the end of a board, pre-drilling a pilot hole may help prevent splitting.

9. What is the recommended installation angle for these screws?

It is recommended to insert the screw at an angle of 30-45 degrees to the exposed face on the tongue side, starting where the tongue and face intersect. This ensures a secure fix and allows the next board to fit properly.
