DRYWALL SCREW
Drywall Screw is a specialized self-tapping screw with a cylindrical shaft. These screws almost always have a Phillips Bulge Head rather than a slotted head, which provides additional control for installers. In addition of a standard drill, installers also use a tool known as a drywall dimpler, which has an adjustable nose to install a drywall screw without tearing the paper on each sheet.
A standard drywall screw can be readily identified by its black finish. This black coloring comes from a phosphate mineral coating that is applied to these screws. This coating helps to minimize rusting and corrosion as the screws are exposed to wet joint compound or paint.
-
Original and primary application is to stitch Drywall to wood studs. Also used in many interior wood and fixture fastening applications.
-
Used to rapidly attach drywall to metal studs for commercial buildings.
-
Used where flat surface required after drill.
-
Used where already pre-drilled holes are prepared for fitting.
-
The primary benefit offered by drywall screws is their Bugle Head. This means that the entire screw lies flush with the surface of the sheet, creating a smooth and even finish.
-
Less prone to getting pulled through the wood due to Bugle Head.
-
This type of head also helps prevent the drywall screw from breaking the paper surface, a common problem with nails.
-
Drives fast and efficient.
-
The black head adds to the decorative appeal.
-
Fairly thin, so they are less likely to split the wood.
-
Threaded through entire length thereby maximizing gripping power.
-
Good Corrosion resistance due to black phosphate coating.
-
Easy to install and remove.
-
Head does not sink into the wood easily as does with other wood screws.
-
Precise cutting edges to improve drill performance with less effort.
-
Relatively Cheap.
-
At least 3 times the pull-out strength of nails.
