THE SCREW COVER: AN AESTHETIC AND PRACTICAL ASSET
Screws are used daily in almost all sectors of activity, whether in construction, renovation, maintenance or automotive. Due to their longevity and ease of use, screws remain the most common method for connecting lightweight components. Screw heads, as the most visible element of screw screws, must withstand many stresses.
A faulty screw head not only hinders the entire screwing, but also prevents the screw from loosening if necessary. The screw head must therefore be protected. This is possible thanks to the Würth screw covers. Discover our wide range of screw covers in our online store and learn more about the different products.
RUST, DIRT AND WEAR AFFECT THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE SCREW
Whether used indoors or outdoors, a screw is always exposed to external influences: dust and dirt are the most harmless; rust or other mechanical damage, on the other hand, can affect the fitted screw much more significantly. The screw head is the most visible part and exposed to all influences, even if it is milled or flush to the surface. Screw cover is recommended to protect protruding screw heads.
Our screw covers are available for all common screw heads: from the hexagonal head, with a milled head, to the AW platform. There are also screw caps suitable for more specific application areas such as window building. They are pressed on the screw head and lock it up completely.
In addition to the protective function of the screw itself, the risk of injury to people can also be reduced by covering sharp edges. The covers can also be used as an aesthetic element for the screws visible on the component. Caches are mostly used in the electrical industry, in mechanical engineering and in the furniture industry. They increase the longevity of the entire screwing, but can also be removed again if necessary.
