Coloured head decking screws have a painted head that blends into the colour of the deck boards, so the fixings almost disappear once the deck is finished. The square drive holds the bit securely, and the countersunk ribbed head cuts itself flush into the board.
Linkworld supplies square drive decking screws in carbon steel and stainless steel, from 6g to 12g, with the head colour made to match your boards. We pack in bulk cartons or in your own branded boxes and tubs for decking suppliers, timber merchants and hardware stores.

Where Coloured Head Decking Screws Are Used
- Timber decking hardwood and softwood decks
- Composite decking boards where a colour-matched head is needed
- Stairs and landings visible fixings on treads
- Screens and cladding exterior timber cladding and battens
Choosing Decking Screws
- Material: coated carbon steel for general decks; 316 stainless for coastal and pool decks.
- Head colour: match the head to the board colour, or send a sample.
- Length: the screw should pass through the board and hold well in the joist.
- Drive: keep one square drive size across your range.
For hardwood decks, a Type 17 point reduces splitting near board ends.
Common Purchasing Mistakes
Choosing colours from a screen. Screen colours vary. Send a board or colour sample.
Using carbon steel near the coast. Specify 316 stainless for coastal decks.
Short screws. Allow for board thickness plus embedment into the joist.
Mixing colours under one code. Give each colour its own code and label.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use coloured head decking screws?
The head colour blends into the deck boards, so the fixings are much less visible.
What sizes do you supply?
6g to 12g in lengths of about 40 to 100 mm.
Can you match our board colour?
Yes. Send a board or colour sample and we paint the heads to match.
Which decking screws are best near the coast?
