FAQ – Thick Pyramid Head Screws

Q: Are these strong enough for load-bearing installs?
A: These are more decorative than structural. They're strong, but not intended for primary structural support. Use with traditional lag screws if load-bearing is needed.

Q: How much do the heads protrude from the surface?
A: The thick pyramid head sits about 1/4" to 3/8" above the surface depending on the size—perfect for a bold look.

Q: Will the finish wear over time?
A: Natural patinas may deepen or change slightly, especially on raw steel or bronze. Powder coat and sealed finishes will stay consistent with basic care.

Q: Can I request a custom screw length or head size?
A: Yes—we can accommodate custom work depending on quantity. Please reach out with your request.
