Choosing screw cover caps: neatly concealing screws

A piece of furniture or panel that is otherwise well finished can still look less polished when the screw heads are left visible. Screw caps make it easy to cover them for a clean, neat look.

Our screw caps collection includes plastic caps for screws. This collection is part of the broader Home & DIY category.

What are screw caps?

Screw caps are small plastic caps that clip over a screw head. They completely conceal the screw without you having to replace it or rework the piece of furniture.

Why screw caps are useful

Screw caps are useful, for example:

• on handmade or self-assembled furniture where screws remain visible;
• on panels, shelves or other structures that you want to give a clean finish;
• when you want a professional look without additional finishing materials;
• when you want to give your project a neat finish quickly and without tools.

How do you install a screw cap?

Simply clip the cap over the screw head—no tools or glue required. Make sure the screw is fully tightened before fitting the cap so it sits flush.

Which screw size will fit?

The caps in this collection are designed for M6 screws. Always check which screw size has been used in your project before ordering, to make sure the caps fit properly.

Choose a colour for a neat finish

The caps are available in white, black, dark grey and orange. Choose white or black for a neutral finish that suits most furniture, dark grey for a modern look, or orange if you want to add a striking accent.

Which projects are they suitable for?

Screw caps are suitable for a wide range of uses, from handmade furniture and wall panels to shelves and other assembly projects where screws remain visible. A set of 50 gives you enough for a complete project.

What should you consider when choosing?

When choosing, consider:

• whether the cap fits the screw size you are using (M6);
• which colour will match the furniture, panel or project;
• how many screws you want to cover in total;
• whether the screw is fully tightened before you fit the cap.
