Description
What are 4.3 x 25mm uPVC Window Screws used for?
uPVC window screws of this size are specialized fasteners used primarily for attaching hardware to window and door profiles. The 25mm length is the “universal” size for securing friction stays (hinges), espagnolette locks, and keep plates. Unlike countersunk screws, these uPVC window screws feature a pan head that provides a wide, flat clamping area, ensuring that hardware is held firmly in place without the screw head pulling through the mounting holes.
Why Choose Zinc Yellow Passivation for Glazing?
Window hardware is frequently exposed to “cold bridge” condensation within the internal chambers of a uPVC profile. Our uPVC window screws are finished with a high-quality zinc yellow passivation. This “gold” coating provides a significantly higher level of salt-spray resistance than standard bright zinc, preventing the unsightly rust “bleeding” that can ruin the appearance of a white uPVC frame over time.
Precision Thread for Metal and Plastic
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we understand that window assembly requires speed and accuracy. These uPVC window screws feature a gimbal-point self-tapping thread designed to bite instantly into uPVC. Because they are case-hardened, they are also capable of cutting through the internal galvanized steel reinforcing found in modern window systems. The No. 2 Phillips drive ensures a deep, positive fit for high-speed power drivers, reducing the risk of slipping and scratching the frame.

Installation Advice: When installing hardware with these uPVC window screws, ensure your drill/driver torque is calibrated. Over-tightening can strip the thread in the uPVC; the goal is to drive the screw until the pan head is flush against the hardware, providing a secure, vibration-resistant bond.
