These screws are very suitable for a fixed installation of your internal or external secondary glazing. The fixed installation with screws is an alternative to the installation with glazing clips.
To install your secondary glazing with screws, there must be holes in it. For additional ease of use, you can request us to laser these holes ready-made in your sheet when you order.

Do not over-tighten the screws against the secondary glazing, and use a low speed on your drill. The nylon washers largely absorb the tension of the screw heads and are a suitable combination with acrylic and polycarbonate. The screws can be screwed in with torx bit T20.
Apply these screws with washers in combination with secondary glazing. Read the step-by-step guide on how to get started yourself. Among other things, you can read there that when using these screws, you should first pre-drill with a 3 mm wood drill bit.
