Stainless steel screws

Stainless steel is the specification for any fixing that has to survive weather, salt or washdown for the life of the structure. TGR supplies two families: martensitic grade 410, hard enough to self-drill into steel, and austenitic grades 304 and 316 for timber, decking and marine exposure.

Grade 410 self-drills but offers moderate corrosion resistance. Grades 304 and 316 resist corrosion far better but cannot drill hardened steel unaided, which is why the thin sheet range uses a bi-metal construction: a stainless body carrying a hardened carbon steel point.

Grade 410 — self-drilling

Supplied in stainless steel 410, and also available in carbon steel 1022A or bi-metal A2/A4+SCM435.

Grades 304 and 316 — timber, decking and marine

Austenitic stainless for decking, coastal and high-exposure work.
