ForgeFix Drywall Screws Coarse Thread 3.5 x 25mm Black Phosphate Box 200

These Forgefix Phillips single-thread Drywall Screws are engineered for optimal performance in drywall applications. With a durable black phosphate finish, these screws offer enhanced corrosion resistance and longevity, making them an ideal choice for professional and DIY projects alike. These screws are available in boxes of 200, 500, and 1,000, each complete with a Phillips No.2 insert bit to facilitate easy installation.

Design Features

The screws feature a unique bugle head design that allows them to sink seamlessly into drywall without the need for countersinking. This feature minimizes surface damage, enabling a smoother and more polished finish on plasterboard installations. The coarse thread provides swift penetration into the plasterboard's skin, securing the material firmly to wood or steel studding. This design not only accelerates the insertion process but also provides superior holding power, ensuring that the drywall remains securely in place.

Phosphate Coating

The black phosphate finish consists of thin crystalline layers of phosphate compounds, which adjoin closely to the surface of the screw. These phosphate crystals are porous and can be derived from zinc, manganese, or iron phosphate solutions. Such coatings significantly enhance corrosion resistance and improve the screws' overall durability. Additionally, phosphate coatings can absorb supplementary finishes that boost appearance and provide resistance to abrasion.

Phillips <a class='cat-link' href='https://bigshopper.co.uk/brand/head/'>Head</a> Design

The Phillips screw design features four distinct tapered slots, permitting a Phillips tip screwdriver to engage with the screw effectively. This design allows for increased torque during application. If the torque becomes excessive, the screwdriver tip will disengage from the screw head, preventing over-tightening and potential damage. This mechanism not only maintains the integrity of the screw head but also enhances user safety during installation.

Applications

These drywall screws are specifically designed for a variety of applications including fitting plasterboard, fibreboard, and other insulation boards to wood or steel studding. Their sharp point and coarse threads facilitate quick insertion, making them ideal for both professional contractors and home improvement enthusiasts.

Overall, Forgefix Phillips Drywall Screws merge durability, user-friendliness, and high performance, making them an essential component for any drywall installation project. Their thoughtful design features ensure a smooth and efficient installation process with minimal surface impact, making them an ideal choice for achieving a professional finish.
