Description
The Performance Plus 5mm wood screw is a premium high performance timber fixing engineered for professional trade use. Featuring a waxed zinc and yellow passivated finish, Type 17 cut point and serrated thread, these screws drive faster, split less and deliver a clean countersunk finish every time – with no pre-drilling required in most applications.
Available in a trade-sized tub of 1000, this is the ideal bulk fixing for joiners, carpenters, timber frame installers and general builders who demand consistent, reliable performance on site.
Key Features
- Pozi Reinforced Double Countersunk Head – reduces head breakage and assists countersinking for a flush finish
- Self-Countersinking Ribs – improved countersinking without manual preparation
- Waxed Zinc & Yellow Passivated Finish – corrosion resistant and significantly reduces drive torque
- Milling Thread – reduces torque, prevents splitting and clears the hole path
- Serrated Thread – cuts into wood fibres, further reducing splitting and drive effort
- Type 17 Cut Point – reduces splitting and eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most timbers
- CE Marked – tested to EN 14592:2008+A1:2012, manufactured to ISO 9001:2008

Frequently Asked Questions
What driver bit does the Performance Plus 5mm screw use?
A PZ2 Pozi driver bit is required for all 5mm Performance Plus screws.
Do I need to pre-drill before using these screws?
In most timber applications, pre-drilling is not required thanks to the Type 17 cut point. Pre-drilling may be recommended near timber edges or in very dense hardwoods.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
The waxed zinc and yellow passivated finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for internal and sheltered external use. For exposed or highly corrosive environments, a stainless steel fixing should be considered.
What is the difference between the 70mm and 100mm options?
The 70mm screw is suited to standard timber joinery and general construction fixing. The 100mm screw is ideal for deeper structural connections, timber frame and thicker section timbers.
Are these CE marked?
Yes. Performance Plus screws are tested and certified to EN 14592:2008+A1:2012 and manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality management standards.
How many screws are in a tub?
Each tub contains 1000 screws.
