Finishing Washers

Finishing Washers

Screws alone can leave rough, raised surfaces, making a project look unfinished. Finishing washers solve this problem, providing a clean, professional appearance while improving load distribution and protecting material surfaces. Tractor Supply carries options for oval- and flat-head screws, ideal for applications in woodworking, cabinetry, metal fabrication and decorative hardware installations.

Sleek Fasteners for Finished Projects

Finishing washers are specialty washers commonly used in applications where fasteners look better concealed. Each finishing washer has a cup-shaped recess that captures the screw head and pulls it down, so it doesn’t protrude above the surface, which can look unsightly and even be dangerous. The cup-shaped design also reinforces the area around the screw hole, which helps prevent the material from cracking or pulling through over time.

Different Materials for Your Project

Our selection includes a variety of materials to meet the needs of your project. Stainless steel finishing washers are built for outdoor, high-moisture environments. They are suitable for deck furniture, exterior trim and any build that can benefit from corrosion resistance. Nickel-plated finishing washers feature a polished surface that suits interior furniture and decorative trim.

Washers to Match Varying Screw Sizes

Screws are available in a range of gauges, and finishing washers need to be compatible to be effective. The common range for finishing washers runs from #6 through #12, with each step up in number representing a wider screw shaft. Lighter applications pair well with a #6, which keeps things proportional without overbuilding the joint. Heavier stock and load-bearing assemblies are better served by a #10 or #12.
