Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a standard wood screw and a specialized window screw?

Window screws are specifically designed for the glazing industry. They feature unique thread pitches and extremely sharp points to pierce and tap into UPVC, timber, and thin internal aluminum reinforcing rapidly without causing the plastic to crack. They also utilize specialized head profiles to sit perfectly flush within tight window hinges and hardware.

Do I need to use stainless steel screws for window installations?

While high-quality zinc-plated screws offer excellent durability for the internal side of the window frame and enclosed hardware, we highly recommend using stainless steel screws for any exterior-facing hardware, or if you are installing in a coastal area. This prevents rust bleeding down the white UPVC frames and maintains the structural integrity of the window against harsh weather.

What exactly are baypole screws used for?

Baypole screws are heavy-duty, specialized structural fasteners used primarily to securely join individual sections of UPVC window frames together. They are essential when constructing angled bay or bow windows, as their design is engineered to pull the separate frame profiles tightly together, creating a rigid, highly secure, and draft-free structural joint.
