Brass Screws

Brass screws are corrosion-resistant fixings designed for decorative joinery, furniture restoration, and marine applications. The natural water resistance of solid brass makes these screws essential for external ironmongery and coastal environments - preventing rust streaks and material failure. Use these fixings to achieve a high-end aesthetic on cabinetry and heritage projects where the screw head remains visible.

Select from various head types, including countersunk for flush fitting and raised heads for decorative finishing. For furniture hinges and woodworking, countersunk brass screws provide a smooth surface - ensuring doors and lids close fully without interference. While brass is a softer metal, it offers non-magnetic properties - making it suitable for electrical installations and sensitive equipment.

Hardened brass and brass-plated steel variants are available for high-torque applications - letting you use power drivers without shearing the screw head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when working with solid brass in hardwoods to ensure a clean, split-free finish.

What Are Brass Screws Used For?

Brass has several unique benefits. It can resist corrosion and water, making it ideal for use outdoors and in specialist applications throughout the marine industry. The neutral tone of brass screws pairs well with wood, making them a great finishing screw for decorative jobs. While brass isn’t as strong as steel or iron, some brands offer specially hardened brass screws for power drilling. At Toolstation, you’ll find a wide range of brass screws from trusted brands, including countersunk and raised head screws.
