Self-Tapping Screws

Self-tapping screws create their own threads as they enter a pilot hole.

At UKFR, we sell a wide range of stainless steel self-tapping screws for metal, plastic and timber, available in varying dimensions and types.

High-Quality Self-Tapping Metal Screws

We sell the highest quality self-tapping metal screws for use on hardwood, metal & plastic applications, all varying in length and type.

Forged from stainless steel, they are a lot more durable compared to regular screws and create their own threads as they enter the material. Ideal for aluminium, steel and timber applications, they create a long-lasting and secure connection between two materials that will last years to come.

They are easy to install; all you need to do is drill a hole, blow out the debris and fasten the screw in place to secure. When fastening, it creates its own threads in the material.

Check out our full fixings range including flat roofing fasteners, facade screw anchors and sleeve anchors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Self-tapping screws have a pointed end and a threaded shaft which creates its own threads as it is driven into a pre-drilled pilot hole. Made from stainless and carbon steel, they are most suitable for metal, plastic and timber applications requiring a strong & secure connection.

Self-drilling screws are similar, however, they do not require a pilot hole. Whilst they will save you time, they can wear down over time and can cause the material to split upon entry.

First, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's diameter in the material you are attaching the screw to. Once the pilot hole is made, insert the self-tapping screw and begin turning it clockwise. As it is turned, it will cut its threads into the material, creating a secure and tight connection. 

When screwing in, make sure to not over-tighten the screw as it can strip the threads or cause the material to split.

Removing self-tapping screws can be tricky, but can be done. Identify the type of screw head and use the accompanying screwdriver/drillbit to unscrew it from the material. Self-tapping screws vary in head type, including countersunk, hex and pan head. If it is a hex head screw, you can remove it using a hand tool such as a spanner or wrench.
