Accu introduces Pika screws for flush, decorative fastening solutions

Accu, one of the UK’s leading precision engineering component distributors, has introduced Pika screws to its range – ideal for applications where aesthetics and a flush finish are essential.

Pika screws are an innovative type of fastener featuring a unique spring-loaded concealed drive and a three-lobed configuration. They’re specifically engineered to hide the drive recess, providing a sleek, decorative solution for high-end projects where appearance matters.

These screws are commonly used in premium carpentry projects, ensuring a clean, polished look with screw heads that blend discreetly into the surface. They’re also a popular choice for decorative architectural panels, preventing visible screw marks or recesses from detracting from the final seamless design.

Accu offers Pika screws in two high-quality materials: brass and stainless steel (304). Brass Pika screws provide a refined, vintage aesthetic, while stainless steel offers a sleek, contemporary appearance suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Yasin Boulakhras, Accu’s Global Head of Product Strategy, explains: “We introduced this range to meet customer demand from the furniture and architectural industries. The aesthetics of these screws are undeniable, as the screw drive remains hidden and flush with the surface, while a secure hold is guaranteed.”

To operate the concealed drive, a special Pika drive bit is required. When the bit is inserted and pressure applied during installation, the spring-loaded mechanism activates, revealing the drive. The three-lobed drive enhances grip, allowing for precise torque control. This combination of features makes Pika screws ideal for both practical fastening and aesthetic enhancement while ensuring a strong, secure hold.

Accu’s range of Pika screws is available in various sizes to suit different applications, from thread sizes 1/4-20 UNC to 5/16-18 UNC and lengths from 3/4 to 1 1/2in.

As a specialist in precision engineering components, Accu continues to support industries transitioning into the next industrial revolution. From embracing AI to streamlining its online store, Accu delivers a high-quality customer experience through the digitisation of its engineering supply chain.

Pika screws are available from Accu’s online shop.
