Description

Fitting a weather bar to the base of a PVCu window or door means finding a fixing small enough to sit neat but tough enough to bite straight through aluminium and plastic. These TIMCO weather bar screws are made for that one job. The low nipple head keeps the profile tidy, and the self-drilling point cuts its own hole so you skip the pre-drill step.

Fabricators and installers reach for them to hold a drip bar (also called a drip rail) along the bottom of the frame, throwing rainwater clear of the sill and stopping water ingress. They come zinc plated for a clean silver finish and everyday corrosion resistance on exterior frames.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Small nipple head sits low and neat against the weather bar, with no bulky screw head on show
  • Self-drilling point bores through the aluminium or PVCu bar and the frame, so there's no pre-drilling
  • Phillips (PH) recess drives quickly and positively by hand or power screwdriver
  • Zinc plated (BZP silver) for corrosion resistance on outward-facing frames
  • Sized specifically for weather bar and drip rail work, not a general screw pressed into service
  • Holds the bar firm so it channels rainwater away and keeps water out of the frame
  • Suits both workshop fabrication and on-site installation

FAQs

What is a weather bar?

A weather bar, sometimes called a drip bar or drip rail, is a slim strip fitted along the bottom of a window or door frame. It throws rainwater clear of the sill so water runs off the face of the frame rather than sitting against it and finding a way in.

What screws fix a weather bar to uPVC?

Small self-drilling screws with a low nipple head, like these TIMCO weather bar screws. The nipple head keeps the bar sitting flush, and the self-drilling point lets you fix straight into the PVCu frame without pre-drilling.

Do these screws self drill?

Yes. The self-drilling point cuts its own hole through the aluminium or PVCu weather bar and into the frame, so there's no separate pilot hole to drill first.

What is a drip bar?

A drip bar is another name for a weather bar. It sheds rainwater away from the sill and the join between frame and opening, which helps stop water ingress and staining.

What finish are they?

Zinc plated to a BZP silver finish. That gives everyday corrosion resistance suitable for the exterior face of window and door frames.

Can I use them on composite doors?

Yes. They fix a drip rail to PVCu and composite door frames as well as window frames, in the workshop or on site.
