A Word About Screws
Fasteners are the critical component that hold your home and everything in it together. In the past, nails were used due to their superior shear strength but they had poor holding power. On the other hand, screws excelled in clamping strength yet were brittle.
Now, with advancements in hardened alloys, screws have become strong enough to be structurally rated, corrosion resistant, and superior in shear strength as well as clamping strength. They have advanced cutting threads to minimize wood splitting and provide greater precision. Screws can also be removed easily to make adjustments and provide a more accurate product. There’s one out there for almost every application from structural hangers to cabinet drawers.
Screws are the primary fasteners at Highland Finish Carpentry and we avoid using nails wherever possible.
