Tite-Fix Wins Fastener Fair Stuttgart New Product Award
Tite-Fix Wins Fastener Fair Stuttgart New Product Award
John Wolz
Show participants at Fastener Fair Stuttgart voted a Tite-Fix Ltd. small screw for tongue & groove flooring the best new product among a dozen in the New Product Showcase.
The Tite-Fix 3.5x45mm screw with small screw heads can be sunk “tidily” into the space above the tongue “in order to offer no obstruction to the matching groove on the next board.”
In second place was the E.u-r-o Tec-Idee Fix hidden timber connector. The multi-screw connector provides three-dimensional fastening and can be used in a range of applications. The timber connector also can be used for fastening post anchors, can adapt to pressure and wind loads and are adjustable after assembly.
In third place was RapierStar”‘s bi-metallic self-drilling screws. The stainless steel screws are rust free and expected to last more than 50 years. The “stick fit” square drive Phillips recess is easy for single-handed installation and the under-the-head braking ribs avoid spinning and prevent movement. The RapierStar screw’s stronger drill-point geometry eliminates breakage.
