Cap Screw

A cap screw is a screw with a threaded hole in its head that accepts a decorative cover cap. Also known as mirror screws or stainless steel screw covers, they're designed for both secure fastening and visual finish.

By concealing screw shafts and heads with a neat cover cap, they provide a sleek, minimalist look that softens industrial hardware. They're popular in modern interior signage and mirror installations.

Yes. You install the screw, then thread the decorative cap over the head. To remove, simply unscrew the cap and then the fastening screw beneath—making maintenance or relocation straightforward.

Cap screws are commonly used in signage, mirrors, interior décor, and architectural fixtures. They provide strong fixation while hiding the screw head under a smooth, polished cap. At Davis Materialworks, we offer cap screws as part of our sign and signage accessories. Our customers often use them to mount printed acrylic signs, stainless steel signs, or other decorative materials purchased from us.

Cap screws alone do not create a floating effect. To mount your sign away from the wall, you will need to use wall spacers or space-offs together with cap screws.

Yes, we offer wall spacers/space-offs as separate accessories. You can add them to your cap screw order for projects that require a raised or floating sign installation.

Choose cap screws for a sleek, finished look that covers the screw head. Select wall spacers or space-offs if you want your sign to stand off the wall. For some installations, both can be used together for a professional result.

Using wall spacers with cap screws not only gives your sign a modern, elevated appearance but also makes cleaning behind the sign easier and prevents moisture buildup.

No, cap screws and wall spacers (also known as space-offs) are different products. Cap screws are used to fix and cover screws for a clean, finished look. Wall spacers create a gap between your sign and the wall to achieve a floating or standoff effect. If you want your sign to stand off the wall, you’ll need to use wall spacers together with cap screws. We offer wall spacers at Davis Materialworks—just visit our Visual Materials listing page to find them.
