What are Black Wood Screws?

Black wood screws are precision-engineered fasteners designed specifically for joining wooden components. These wood screws are distinguished by their sleek matte black finish, which offers an aesthetically pleasing appearance and aids in blending in with darker stained joinery projects.

All of our black screws for wood feature a sharp, tapered point that allows for easy penetration into the wood, providing a secure grip. Additionally, the threads along the shank are carefully spaced to ensure optimal holding power, preventing the wood from splitting and maintaining a firm hold even under load.

These black screws for wood can interact seamlessly with various components (black washers for example), woods or composites, making them versatile and essential in many woodworking and joinery applications where aesthetics are key.

How Black Wood Screws Work

Black wood screws, just like any other wood fastener, are widely used in a variety of applications, from carpentry and furniture making to outdoor fencing and structural installations where an aesthetic look is preferred.

For instance, black countersunk wood screws are ideal for projects where a flush finish is desired, such as in cabinetry or wooden flooring. In contrast, black button head wood screws are perfect for applications requiring a more decorative finish, such as visible joints in rustic furniture.

The matte black chemical blackening not only enhances the visual appeal but being made from stainless steel also makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Whether you’re assembling a garden bench with black exterior wood screws or constructing a robust raised garden bed, these screws provide the strength and durability needed for long-lasting results.

Material Black Outdoor Wood Screws Are Made From

At Accu, our black outdoor wood screws are crafted from A2 and A4 stainless steel, offering exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion.

A2 stainless steel is well-suited for general-purpose applications, offering a good balance of strength and corrosion resistance. A4 black stainless steel wood screws, often referred to as being marine grade, provide enhanced resistance to corrosion, particularly in environments exposed to salt water or chemicals.

The matte black finish is achieved through a chemical blackening process, which not only provides a sophisticated appearance but converts the outer oxide layer, only possible on stainless steel, making these black-coated wood screws ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects.

Size and Type Black Stainless Wood Screws Available

Accu offers an extensive range of black stainless wood screws to cater to all your project needs. Our range is available in thread sizes ranging from 2.5mm to 10mm, with lengths from 10mm to 400mm, ensuring you can find the perfect fit for any application.

We also offer a variety of drive types, including Torx, Pozi, slotted and square (Robertsons) to match your preferred tool choice and provide ease of installation alongside resistance against cam-out.
