Spectre has launched two new sizes of screw to help the trade comply with new building regulations.
Designed to bring performance and value to merchant customers, the Spectre range has now been expanded to include 6.0 x 200mm and 6.0 x 240mm woodscrews, and will shortly also include 8.0 x 180, 200, 240 and 280mm versions too.
The UK building regulations for roof insulation were updated in 2022. According to the updated regulations, all new-build homes and extensions must have a minimum roof insulation level of 0.18 W/m2K - i.e. Watts per metre square Kelvin (the lower the value the better). The insulation material needed to achieve this is now thicker, thus longer screws are needed to provide a more secure grip and help to penetrate the full depth of the insulation.
The new range was specifically designed to make the tradesperson’s life a little bit easier and includes features often only found in premium products. As with all Spectre screws, the size of the product is included on the packaging, so merchant customers do not have to open the box to size up the product. Spectre products are also available in 100 per cent recyclable tub packaging made with a minimum of 30 per cent recycled plastic.
As well as the popular Spectre Advanced Multi-Purpose wood and timber fixing screws, a comprehensive range of holesaws and screw driver bits are available as well as eye-catching POS for the counter.
