Concrete Screws

How to use concrete screws

You can use self tapping concrete screws to attach furring strips, conduit clamps, electrical boxes or more.

To install screws into concrete, you should drill a pilot hole with an appropriately sized drill bit, and drive the concrete screw into the substrate with a high-power screwdriver. The large profile threads of the concrete screw will assist with this.

We always suggest drilling a slightly deeper hole than the fixing length required to allow any dust and debris to gather at the end.

The countersunk torx drive uses a T30 insert bit. Our full box quantities include the torx bit but they can also be ordered separately if required.

If you need to remove concrete screws, you can just unscrew them back out again.

Can you screw straight into concrete?

Concrete screws make it possible to fasten directly into concrete in a quick and convenient manner. Screws for concrete eliminate the need for hammering in an anchor or shield - you simply need to drill a pilot hole, and that's it.
