Screw with small head

[NorrbottenNorrbotten]

Hello

Does anyone know of screws with a head no larger than 5 mm?

I only found these - http://www.theofils.se/produkt/Listskruv-Dribo--66966.aspx?ac=66680

They're meant to fasten baseboards, and then use these cover caps in the holes, of which 5mm is the max. http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/00226315/

Deck screw maybe?

Chipboard screw? But why not use the usual method? White strip screw and a bit of touch-up paint

Unfortunately, that won't work. Those plugs are for empty holes and straight drilled holes.

Mouldings are best attached with brads.

From what I understand, a nail gun designed for concrete is required to shoot into concrete and since I'm renovating one room at a time, it would mean several trips to the rental company if that’s the case. I'm considering using regular list screws with touch-up paint otherwise, but I've read about others who have done similar with cover caps on the screws.

If the baseboard is already painted, it might be difficult to make it look nice with screws and cover caps. When I did the molding in the basement, I drilled 8mm into the wall and inserted a dowel, which I then nailed into with white trim nails. It requires some measuring, but it worked great. Another option is to glue it.

Adhesive?
Adheres well to clean concrete. Otherwise, it's probably screws and plugs that are needed if it becomes expensive/troublesome with the rental company.

It says that the head is 5.8 mm but I measure it rather to 5.0.

It was plugs and these screws but I actually skipped the cover caps, measures 5.1 if anyone was wondering.

Otherwise, white spikplugg with the collar cut off is a convenient alternative to plug and screw!
