Screw recommendation old floorboards

[Mrxman]

Hi there

Just wondered if anyone can recommend some quality screws for some old floorboards, screwed to joists, sanded and on display. I am looking for screws that reduce creaking with a gold finish.

I've tried floor Tite. They were good with no creaking but the head gets damaged easily.

Ideally the screws shouldn't be too noticeable but could glue a wood plug over the screw head if needed.

Anyone?

If you're gonna cover the screw head then use what you want. I like spax screws as the heads are good and don't round easily.

I've heard of spax. Any particular ones you can recommend?

My most common used ones are the 4mm x 40mm screws. For floorboards these should be enough. 5mm would be too big I think

Bear in mind they need to be partial thread - not full thread.
