Stainless Steel Timber Pan Head Screws 10x38mm (50 Pack)

The Stainless Steel Timber Pan Head screws 10x38mm secure the Sunglaze base profile to timber structures in highly corrosive environments. In coastal regions or areas with high humidity and industrial pollution, atmospheric salts and moisture rapidly corrode zinc-plated or galvanised screws. These fixings are made from high-grade stainless steel, giving inherent resistance to rust and tea-staining without a coating to wear off.

The pan head offers a flat underside and a low-profile rounded top, which gives a wide clamping surface to hold the aluminium Sunglaze base firmly against the timber rafter without distorting the metal. At 38mm long, the screw gives a proper embedment depth into timber purlins and rafters, which is what provides pull-out resistance against wind uplift.

The deep-cut timber thread grips softwoods and hardwoods securely, and stainless steel prevents the galvanic corrosion that can occur when aluminium and low-grade steel meet in damp conditions. It is the long-life fixing for a roof that is meant to be fitted once and forgotten.

What You Need To Complete The Job

These screws fix the Aluminium Sunglaze Base to the timber frame. Add the Aluminium Sunglaze Cap and cover to finish the joiner. The full system is in the Sunglaze category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose stainless steel for a timber frame?

Coastal salt, humidity and industrial pollution corrode coated screws from the outside in. Stainless steel resists that corrosion natively, so the fixing keeps its strength and does not run rust stains down the timber or the panels.

How deep will the 38mm screw bite?

38mm gives a solid embedment into a standard timber rafter or purlin, which is what you need for pull-out resistance against wind uplift. For deeper timbers or heavier sections, a longer screw can be used.

Are these screws for metal or timber?

These are timber screws with a timber-pointed thread for rafters and purlins. For a metal subframe in the same corrosive environment, use the matching stainless steel metal pan head screw.

What is the pan head for?

The pan head gives a broad, flat clamping surface that holds the aluminium base down without deforming it, while its low profile keeps the assembly tidy. It is a specialist shape for fixing a base track.

How many screws are in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 screws. Allow one at each fixing position along the base track and order enough packs for the full joiner run.
