Choosing The Right Copper Screws

By Jeannie Chapman


There are a number of benefits to using copper screws rather than nails. One reason is that they are sturdy and can hold things in place more rigidly than nails. There is also the benefit that if you need to remove a screw it is easier to do so than if you hammer in a nail.

The reason why copper is a particularly good material of a repair work is because there is less risk of corrosion. The type of screw you choose depends on the kind of material you need to work on. For example wood screws are designed for working with wood whereas there are also ones with metal.

One reason you may use a screw rather than a nail is the fact they tend to be more effective at holding things up. There is also the added advantage that if you need to remove them and disassembled an item it is a lot easier to do this with screws than to try and do this with nails. How well they will hold up will depend on the type that you use.

In some cases the material may be quite delicate. This is the case with fibreglass. If you are using screws with fibreglass it is advisable to use a washer alongside them in order to ensure that you do not damage the material while at the same ensuring the material is properly bound together.

If you are using fibreglass there is the additional danger of the material being fragile. In this instance you should include a washer with the screw. You can find washers in the same stores where you can order screws so if you cannot find them ask and make sure they are suited for the work you want to do.

The type you use can also depend on the kind of work you do. For example you may wish to build or repair a table. A dowel screw is threaded on both ends. The reason this is important with table repair is because it is more appropriate than one on top because this can result in ruining the appearance of the table.

It can be daunting if you are trying to fix material together for the first time. However there are a number of tutorials and videos available online that can help with this. They can also help with guides showing you the appropriate measurements to check you have the right size screw for the material.

There are a wide array of companies that sell copper screws. You want to be sure that they have the right kind of size as well as the type that is appropriate for the material you are using. This is why it is best to use companies that have years of experience who can discuss with you what options are best suited for the work you are doing. Check online to find suppliers near you as well as feedback on their services. With the right approach you will be able to do it yourself and do it properly!
