What Are 10–12 mm Gloss Snap Caps?
Our 10–12 mm Gloss Snap Caps with Pan‑Head Washer are a neat, fuss-free way to conceal and protect your screw fixings. Each pack contains 100 snap-caps molded from high-impact, UV-stable plastic, finished in glossy sheen, and sized to fit standard #10 to #12 screws (including M5 and M6 metric sizes). Each cap nestles over a flexible pan-head washer, locking securely into place for a watertight, dust-resistant seal.
These snap caps are part of our Screw Cover Caps – Neat & Durable Fixing Covers range—ideal for jelly-like finishes with no visible fasteners. The gloss finish picks up light and matches cabinets, trims, panels, and accent surfaces beautifully.

Why Gloss Snap Caps Matter
🔹 Clean Aesthetic
Say goodbye to exposed screw heads. Snap‑caps create a polished, professional look on furniture, cabinets, doors, or deck panels—especially useful when visual appeal matters.
🔹 Protection & Longevity
Airtight sealing combats moisture and corrosion, upping fastener life by up to 20× compared to exposed screws—ideal for damp areas like bathrooms or outdoor use.
🔹 Easy to Install & Maintain
Installation is tool-free: press the cap onto its matching washer for a satisfying ‘snap’. Removal is just as simple—no damage, no fuss, repeatable.
🔹 Color Options & Finishes
Though this product is a high-gloss neutral, our brand offers multiple finishes (gloss or matt) and sizes, enabling consistent matches and seamless integration across projects .
