Flat head screws in particular have several beneficial features, which include:
- They can accept covers to hide the screw head
- They are available in several different configurations and metals
- Their countersunk design puts the head flush with the product surface
There are two basic North Bennington, Vermont, flat head screw designs: countersunk and non-countersunk. Non-countersunk heads—where the head is fully exposed—encompass the largest variety of screw head designs and are commonly used for consumer and retail products, such as furniture hardware and cabinet hinges. Countersunk heads—where the head is designed to sit flush with the product surface—are typically used on tools, machinery, and industrial products because they provide a clean finish to the fastener installation. In addition, a flush finish provides the added benefit of protecting the screw head from any potential damage.
Flat head screws for North Bennington, Vermont, require a countersunk hole unless the material is very soft. The advantage is that little or no part of the head protrudes beyond the surface of the material to give the finished work a flush, clean look. The countersunk design of the flat heads is great for applications where dust and dirt can accumulate on the surface.
