Available in a number of different varieties, including hinged, screw covers are frequently used to give home improvement projects and woodwork a more finished and elegant appearance. Made from materials that include plastic/PVC, vinyl, zinc-plating, cork, and more, screw covers can be used in many different types of projects, indoors and outdoors, to give the finished project greater visual appeal. In damp climates and outdoor situations, they can also help prevent unsightly rusting and protect the screw head from other damage.
The covers are available in many colors, ranging from white to brown to more exotic hues. A durable plastic is the most common material from which they are made; however, decorative metal screw covers that are shaped like stars or flowers are gaining popularity. Additionally, screw covers can accommodate both flat-head and Phillips head screws of many sizes. They are often sold in convenient packs of three or more covers. Screw covers are a simple and inexpensive way to improve the decorative appearance of many home improvement projects.
