Why Do Composite Deck Screws Have Reverse Threads?
You may notice that the threads on a composite deck screw reverse direction near the screw head. This is to eliminate predrilling. When you secure standard screws without predrilling, it causes mushrooming.
The reverse thread makes it possible to install the screw without predrilling and eliminates mushrooming.
