UNDERSTANDING THE RIGHT SCREW TYPES WILL ENSURE A JOB WELL DONE
Bathroom remodels can be both exciting and daunting, and selecting the right screws and fasteners is a critical part of the process. From securely anchoring fixtures to ensuring the structural integrity of your project, the choice of screws plays a significant role in the durability and aesthetics of your newly renovated bathroom.
Preparing for Construction
Preparing for construction is a critical step in the remodeling process. Dust from demolition and installation is always a concern, so we’ve listed some helpful hints to assist you during construction and after installing cabinets. These hints will make it easier to transition back to a fully functioning kitchen and home.
- Seal off the kitchen area doorways with plastic sheeting.
- Close all vents on the same floor as the kitchen during construction days.
- Close as many doors as possible.
- In adjoining rooms, cover furniture with blankets, and bookcases with plastic painter's tarps.
- When possible, set-up the construction area in a garage or outside covered area to eliminate the dust and noise of construction in the home's living space.

TIP #1 Always start from the high point on the floor (you can find with a laser level).
TIP #2 Invest in the Pony-Jorgensen cabinet claws, or something similar - they allow you to pull two cabinet faces together and flush the faces together, all the same time. Use T-STAR plus MDF/Hardwood screws to fasten them together.
TIP #3 Use T-STAR plus Wafer Head Cabinet Screws to secure the rear panels to the wall.
