I've ordered some plywood to fix the bathroom floor and realised I need some screws to go with it. I've had a look online but the choice is huge. Can anyone point me in the right direction of something thats suitable for 25mm plywood into joists? I'm ordering from Screwfix if that helps....

Rust proof for those bathroom floods, lost head with no thread for the last 25mm perhaps.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

thanks for the reply. I've actually just been on the phone with the timber yard and they have recommended some 50x8 Spax which is what they sell to the trade.0

the general rule for screw length, is twice the thickness of the piece you are fitting.Get some gorm.0

Spax screws are ok, think they are coated with "yellow chromate" so wont rust.Personally I use Winzer Wurths wupo fast or eco fast screws(not sure if they sell to the public).Think both manufacturers are German, seem to make the best screws.0

thanks for the replies. Screws are now ordered0

Bit late...but my favourites are Wickes Easy Drive screws. I've tried the B&Q equivalent but they don't bite as well. Never actually ordered any screws from screwfix mainly because i never usually need many. Hope you ordered via quidco to get your cashback!
