FAQs
What material are the Unifix Dome Cap Screw Covers made from?
They are made from durable plastic.
How are the screw covers installed?
They are designed for a simple push-fit installation directly over the screw head.
What is the purpose of the included washers?
The washers help to distribute pressure, provide a stable base for the screw, and can aid in seating the cap securely.
How many screw covers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 200 screw covers and matching washers.
Can these covers be painted?
While plastic can often be painted, it is recommended to use paints specifically designed for plastic surfaces to ensure adhesion and durability. Testing on a small area first is advised.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
The plastic is durable, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may affect its appearance or integrity over time. For best results, consider the environmental exposure.
What types of screws are these best suited for?
They are most effective for standard pan head or round head screws where the head has a relatively flat profile.
Troubleshooting
Screw cover does not fit securely.
Ensure the screw head is not stripped and is of a compatible size and type for the cap. The screw may need to be tightened further, or a different size cover might be required.
Cap falls off after installation.
Verify that the cap was fully pushed onto the screw head. If the screw head is slightly recessed, the cap may not have enough purchase. Ensure the washer is correctly seated.
Cover does not fully conceal the screw head.
The screw head may be too large or an irregular shape. Confirm the screw head dimensions are within the cap's capacity. Ensure the washer is not interfering with the cap's placement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances project aesthetics by providing a seamless finish.
- Quick and easy to install, saving time on projects.
- Durable material ensures long-lasting use.
- Includes washers for added functionality and better screw seating.
- Cost-effective solution for achieving a professional look.
Cons
- May only fit specific screw head sizes and types.
- Plastic material can be susceptible to damage under excessive force.
- Limited color options (only white available in this product).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the screw is fully tightened into its intended hole.
- Align the Unifix Dome Cap with the screw head.
- Gently push the cap down until it securely fits over the screw head. The washer should be placed between the screw head and the surface before tightening the screw, or if already assembled, the washer can be placed over the screw head before applying the cap.
Compatibility:
- These covers are designed for standard screw heads that fit within the dome's interior dimensions. They are most effective with pan head or round head screws.
- Ensure the screw head and shaft diameter are compatible with the cap's inner dimensions for a secure fit.
Care:
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
- Periodically check that the caps remain securely in place, especially in areas prone to vibration.
