This 50-pack of specialist fasteners is specifically designed to secure the SUNGLAZE base profile to metal subframes, such as steel purlins or aluminium box sections, particularly in locations where environmental factors demand maximum corrosion resistance.
When installing a premium glazing system in coastal regions, industrial zones, or high-moisture areas, standard fasteners are often the first point of failure. These 10-gauge screws are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, offering an impenetrable defense against rust, oxidation, and “tea-staining.” The Pan Head design is a critical feature; its broad, flat underside provides a high-torque clamping surface that secures the aluminium SUNGLAZE base firmly to the metal structure without the risk of the head pulling through or deforming the profile.
The 19mm length is precision-calibrated for metal-to-metal connections, ensuring a secure thread engagement without excessive protrusion. By using stainless steel, you also mitigate the risk of galvanic corrosion—a common issue when dissimilar metals are joined in damp or salty conditions—ensuring your structural framework remains sound for decades.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Coastal Grade Protection: High-grade stainless steel construction is essential for properties within reach of salt spray or industrial pollutants.
-
Low-Profile Pan Head: Offers a clean, professional finish with superior load distribution across the aluminium base.
-
Metal-to-Metal Specialist: Designed with a thread pitch and tip optimised for secure fastening into steel or aluminium substrates.
-
Galvanic Stability: Reduces the risk of chemical reactions between the fastener and the aluminium SUNGLAZE profiles.
-
Maintenance-Free: Unlike coated carbon steel screws, these will not rust, peel, or leave unsightly streaks on your clear polycarbonate panels.
