Common Uses
The real benefit of Tongue-Tite screws is that the head is so small it is hardly visible which makes it an ideal choice for projects such as:
· Tongue and groove flooring
· Timber cladding
· Decking
· Fencing
· Landscape projects
· Slatwall panels
· Trims
Installation
It is recommended to insert the screw at an angle of 30-45 degrees to the exposed face on the tongue side and start where the tongue and face intersect. This will drive the screw through the board and out into the substrate.
Make sure the head of the screw sits beneath the tongue so that it does not interfere with the next board.
For a secure fix it is advised to insert a screw every 300mm (minimum).
If inserting a screw 50mm from the end of the board, we recommend that you pre-drill to eliminate splitting.
