Product Information

Drywall screws are used to attach plasterboard to light steel, wooden studs, or metal partitions. They’re typically lighter and have deeper threads than other types, enabling them to grip plasterboard securely and a sharp point so pre-drilling isn’t required. Types of screw heads for drywall screws include bugle, wafer, and countersunk. A bugle head sits flush with the plasterboard’s surface, a wafer head sits above the surface, and a countersunk head sits below the surface. When choosing masonry screws, consider the load it will bear, as different types are suitable for medium or heavy-duty loads.

If you are joining sheet metal to steel, choose self-drilling screws. But if you are joining sheet metal to wood, use timber roofing screws with a sharp point. Roofing screws are designed for attaching sheet metal to steel or wood as well as for other general exterior construction tasks. But they can also be used on internal jobs. The flanged (or washered) type of heads have a built-in washer that’s designed to reduce vibrations and stop the screws from loosening. And there are self-drilling and timber varieties available.Point: the end of the screw that’s first driven into the material when a rotational force is applied.

Masonry screws are available in zinc, carbon steel, hardened steel, and high tensile steel. They have an anti-corrosive coating and are tarnish-resistant, making them suitable for outdoor use. They’re available in gauge sizes ranging from 3 to 10mm and lengths ranging from 16 to 200mm.Consider the material you are screwing into. Self-tapping screws are suitable for fixing sheet metal to softwood or plastic, and self-drilling screws are best for sheet metal to steel. Renovation is the name of the game. So we're always on the look out for products that will help us reduce the waste we generate. If it makes the job more cost efficient for the customer and leaves less to rectify after install it's bound to be a winner!” —Thistle And Rose Concepts,Nottingham Masonry screws (also called concrete screws) are self-tapping screws that are perfect for fixing materials directly into stone, masonry, and concrete without needing wall plugs. They have deep, wide threads, ensuring a secure fit once installed. Often used to fix timber, uPVC frames, pipes, and cable housing into masonry. The type of screw heads available for masonry screws include countersunk, double self-countersunk, flange, flat, pan, raised, and wafer. Woodscrews are available in a range of materials such as carbon steel, hardened steel, zinc, stainless steel and solid brass. Brass is usually chosen for its appearance when combined with brass ironmongery such as hinges and door handles. Stainless steel is ideal for areas exposed to moisture, and carbon and hardened steel can be fitted without needing pre-drilled holes. In addition, all wood screw materials have high levels of corrosion resistance. They are available in gauge sizes ranging from 3 to 8mm and lengths from 12 to 300mm.
