Buy Screws Online – The Right Screw for Every Application
In our Screws category, you'll find a wide range for professional and private applications. Whether for wood, metal, concrete or universal assembly work: The right screw ensures a secure, durable, and load-bearing connection.
Depending on the area of application, screws differ in thread type, head type, drive, material, coating, and dimensions. Therefore, an application-specific selection is crucial – for optimal processing and reliable hold.
What types of screws are there?
Screws are available in many designs. The most common types include:
-
Wood screws – for wood connections, panels, and structural timber
-
Chipboard screws – versatile for interior finishing and furniture construction
-
Metal screws – for sheet metal, profiles, and metal constructions
-
Concrete screws – direct fastening in concrete and masonry (depending on approval)
-
Assembly screws – for special applications in construction, plumbing, heating, and electrical work
-
Stainless steel screws – for damp environments and corrosion-critical applications
What should you look for when buying screws?
-
Substrate material: Wood, metal, concrete, masonry, or plastic
-
Screw length and diameter: suitable for load and material thickness
-
Head type: countersunk head, pan head, hex head, etc.
-
Drive: e.g., Torx, Phillips, hex socket, hex head
-
Material / corrosion protection: galvanized, electro-plated, stainless steel
-

FAQ – Screws
Which screw is right for my project?
That depends on the substrate, the load, and the application. For wood, for example, wood or chipboard screws are suitable; for concrete, often concrete screws or other approved fastening systems.
What is the difference between galvanized and stainless steel screws?
Galvanized screws are suitable for many standard indoor applications. Stainless steel screws offer better corrosion protection and are often used in damp or corrosive environments.
Which head type should I choose?
Countersunk head for flush sinking, pan head for visible screw connections, hex head for high power transmission. The choice depends on aesthetics, tools, and application.
Why is the correct drive important?
The drive influences power transmission and assembly safety. Modern drives like Torx often reduce slipping and enable controlled screwing.
Does screw length play a big role?
Yes. The length must match the material thickness and the desired load-bearing capacity. Screws that are too short often do not hold sufficiently, while screws that are too long can damage or penetrate components.
Are all screws suitable for load-bearing fastenings?
No. For load-bearing or safety-critical applications, only suitable screws with the appropriate technical certificates, approvals, and manufacturer specifications should be used.
