slotted hex
Carriage bolts, characterized by their rounded heads and square necks, are designed to be inserted into a pre-drilled hole. The unique shape of the head provides a clean and finished look, while the square neck prevents the bolt from turning when a nut is tightened. This makes carriage bolts exceptionally useful in situations where aesthetics are important, such as in furniture or architectural structures.
The use of hex head timber screws offers several benefits in wood construction and carpentry. The hexagonal head design provides increased driving torque, allowing for efficient and secure installation without the risk of slippage or cam-out. Additionally, the deep threads and sharp points of these screws enable easy penetration into wood, reducing the need for pre-drilling and minimizing splitting. The corrosion-resistant coatings available for hex head timber screws make them suitable for outdoor and treated wood applications, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
