More than 60 years of experience, a wide range of quality products available in stock, fast and flexible processing of orders for pick-up and delivery and expert advice: these assets make pgb-Europe the one-stop-shop for fasteners. The range includes nuts and bolts, professional wood screws and European approved anchors, as well as a variety of tools and drilling accessories. The range of Hapax wood screws is a unique patented and ETA-approved solution, which in combination with the 4Top coating is ideal for outdoor wood projects. Discover this new collection of screws at the BouwBeurs, in booth 11.C043.

The range of Hapax wood screws is very popular with professionals because of the "triple head point" and multifunctional milling ribs under the head (suitable for wood and metal). Equipped with the 4Top coating, these screws are a premium solution for outdoor wood projects. 4Top is a Class C4 coating, in other words highly corrosion resistant. The combination of the strength of a carbon steel wood screw and this coating results in a very strong and durable screw, which is an excellent alternative to stainless steel wood screws. It is therefore an ideal solution for craftsmen who need wood screws in demanding environments, such as outdoor structures.

No risk of corrosion

"The application and environment in which wood screws are used determine the choice of a proper protective coating. After all, wood screws face weathering and tannic acids in certain types of wood. The 4Top coating is a new protective coating for Hapax screws and offers very high resistance to atmospheric corrosion and aggressive substances that may be present in the wood," says Francis Steyaert, sales director Belux for pgb-Europe. "This coating consists of several layers: an organic coating is applied to the basic galvanizing layer in several layers totaling at least 15 µm, which guarantees very good corrosion protection. This coating can be used for applications in corrosion class C4 according to ISO 12944-2. In addition, the coating has a low coefficient of friction. In combination with the special triple head point of the Hapax screws, this ensures a very light resistance when screwing in. To save time, the impression for screw diameters 3.5/4.0/4.5 and 5.0 has been unified into a Tx20 stick-fit version (free bit in each box)."

Ideal for outdoor projects

With this solution, wear and tear is a thing of the past. The Hapax wood screw with 4Top coating therefore guarantees unmatched durability in outdoor environments. Whether for a terrace, conservatory or other garden project, these screws are made to withstand elements with resilience. "At pgb-Europe, durability is a top priority. This Hapax wood screw with 4Top coating was designed by the manufacturer with a focus on the environment. The coating not only protects the screws, but also guarantees a long service life. This means that the screws do not need to be replaced as often and also contributes to a greener, more sustainable approach to building," Steyaert points out. "The protective 4Top coating is not only very durable for the screws, it is also REACH/RoHS compliant and therefore contains no harmful substances. This makes the Hapax wood screw with 4Top coating both a sustainable and environmentally friendly wood screw. Among numerous other solutions, this wood screw will already be one of the attractions at our booth 11.C043 during the BouwBeurs in Utrecht. Our team will not only show these new Hapax wood screws there, but also demonstrate them."
