Not All Green Treatment Is the Same… So what are you actually getting with Platinum Incised 15?
WANT TO SAVE TWO MINUTES PER SCREW? IT’S POSSIBLE!
We all know that time is money, but sometimes it can be the simplest things that make the difference.
If every job sees you wasting time re-charging drill batteries (or worse, constantly replacing them), it might not be your tools at fault – it could be your fixings.
In many cases, the savings you think you’re making on cheap fixings are actually costing a whole lot more in the long run. That’s because blunt screw tips, incorrect shanks and poor quality coatings can all have a huge impact on tool performance.
Be kind to your tools and invest in the best for a faster, smoother job. It’ll save you time and that – of course – means money.
Screws sized to fit
But it’s not just your tools that probably need a helping hand. If you’re wasting time dealing with poke-through, cutting ends off screws or countersinking, know that there’s a better way.
When you buy screws that are deliberately sized to fit UK timbers, you’ll shave a whole heap of time and effort off every single job.
Quite honestly, mis-matched screw to timber sizings make absolutely no sense, so it’s just logic to select a fixing that’s custom-designed to meet your needs.
Designed specifically to provide a professional finish with standard UK timber sizes, Carpenters Mate screws sit flush with the wood and ensure a secure yet flexible connection that allows the wood a degree of elasticity, which accommodates the stresses and strains of structural movement.
If you’re (wisely) on the hunt for a new option, you can’t go past Carpenters Mate. Fixings that tick all those boxes and more. They’re not just market leaders when it comes to usability, they produce the ONLY hex head screw approved by UK Building Control.
2.5 minutes or 16 seconds?
Fixing timbers together using the more traditional coach bolt method is a tried and tested approach that works, but you need a drill, a hammer, washers, a nut and bolt and a spanner for the job.
Then you need to drill a hole into your timber, line up the intermediate washer, hammer the bolt through the hole, place the square washer on the back and finally tighten the nut and repeat.
As you know, it’s a lengthy and tedious process – and that’s if you can access the back of the timbers. With a Carpenters Mate screw, you simply zip the screw into the two adjacent timbers and that’s it! No washers, no predrilling, no hassle.
Which means that, where coach bolts take on average 2.5 minutes each to install, Carpenters Mate hex head screws achieve the same result in roughly 16 seconds.
