G&B launches GETO wood screws
23 June 2016
Experience, quality, safety, research and innovation, these have been the key words that G&B Fissaggi Srl has used since it was established in 1980, to ensure the highest quality products and service.
G&B Group has always prided itself on offering high-quality certified anchors and one of the latest successful additions to the company’s catalogue, within fixings for the wood industry, is GETO wood screws.
Available with wide head and countersunk flat head, GETO wood screws have CE Marking and have been specially designed for structural applications in wooden carpentry, and are made of yellow galvanised (layer ≥ 8μ) cement steel.
Due to their distinctive design, with self-drilling bit, GETO wood screws can be directly inserted into the support with no preliminary drilling required, as with traditional screws. Plus, the revolutionary point and shank geometry makes installation quick and easy, the user simply positions the screw and drives it home, with no risk of cracking.
G&B mentions that the hardening process to which the GETO wood screws are submitted, enables them to obtain very high characteristic values for extraction, and grants an angle of bending of 40°. Also, due to the covering process, they require a reduced tightening torque.
Other features of the GETO wood screws include a milling section to make it easier for the insertion of the non-threaded part, preventing any risk of cracking. The screws come with a T30 – T40 countersunk head and there is even the option of a conical washer to optimise the loading distribution and to prevent the insertion of the screw head into the wooden support.
