What is a Concrete Screw?


A concrete screw is a self-tapping screw designed for securing materials to concrete, bricks and masonry. This popular screw is easy to use and is ideal for fixing door and window frames (including UVPC) and timber battens.


Quick and easy to use, it’s ideal for trades such as building, electrical, plumbing and joinery.


Also known as


Masonry screws, window screws, concrete fixers or brick screws.


Why use Concrete Screws?


Concrete screws are a big time-saver because you don’t need to use wall plugs or extra fixings. If you’re a builder or tradesperson, you can install them directly on-site rather than using pre-assembled parts.


Concrete Screws: How they work


Concrete screws tap their own thread into hard materials, so you don’t need plugs. They have a round, flat head, which sits flush once installed. Here's how to use them:



  • Drill a 6mm hole (6.5mm for denser materials) into your material.

  • Drive the screw in using a power drill with a Torx 30 bit (the screws are compatible with Torx 30 across all lengths). The screw will cut its own thread as you drive it in.


Features and specifications



  • Available in a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance.

  • Standard 7.5mm diameter.

  • Lengths range from 42mm to 202mm.

  • A Torx 30-bit included in every box.
