What is a Tongue Tite Screw?


A Tongue Tite screw is a thin screw with a small head, popular for tongue-and-groove flooring and timber cladding.  Once installed, these screws stay in place - no more squeaky floorboards!


Also known as


Secret screws or flooring screws.


Why use Tongue Tite Screws?



  • No squeaks: These screws stay tight, stopping floorboard creaks.

  • Hidden: The small head makes a tidy finish.

  • Multi-use: Ideal for tongue-and-groove flooring but also great for house building, refurbishments, industrial units and timber cladding.

  • High pull-out retention: With more threads than standard screws, they won’t come loose.

  • Protects your timber: The fine thread prevents splitting, so you can drive them close to the wood's edge without damage - the perfect choice for floor layers.

  • Reusable: Unlike glue or nails, you can remove them without causing damage.


Tongue Tite Screws: How they work


Drive in the screws (no pilot hole needed) at a 45-degree angle using a power drill. The small head sits flush in the timber, allowing the next board to slot into place.
