ForgeFix Drywall Screws Coarse Thread 3.5 x 38mm Black Phosphate Box 200

The Forgefix Phillips Drywall Screws with a black phosphate finish are specifically designed for drywall applications, ensuring durability and reliability in construction projects. Available in boxes of 200, these screws are an ideal choice for fitting plasterboard, fibreboard, and various types of insulation boards to both wood and steel studding.

Constructed with a bugle head, these screws allow for effortless sinking into the dry lining material without the need for countersinking. This unique feature not only simplifies installation but also minimizes surface damage, providing a smoother finish on the wall. The design of the bugle head contributes to an overall professional appearance, making it a preferred choice among construction professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

The black phosphate finish on these drywall screws enhances their corrosion resistance and durability. Phosphate coatings consist of thin crystalline layers of phosphate compounds that adhere to the surface, which also possess the ability to absorb supplementary coatings. This property improves the screws' appearance, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance, ensuring they maintain their integrity even in challenging environments.

These screws feature a single coarse thread design, which includes an extremely sharp point to easily penetrate the plasterboard skin. The coarse threading facilitates quick insertion and significantly improves holding power, making installation efficient. Whether fastening to timber batons or metal studs, these screws provide the strength required to secure drywall firmly in place.

The Phillips screw head, designed with four tapered slots, allows for easier engagement with a Phillips No.2 insert bit. As torque increases during installation, the screwdriver tip will naturally disengage when it becomes too tight, preventing over-tightening and potential damage to the screw head. This thoughtful design feature enhances usability and reduces the risk of common installation issues, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

For both professional and DIY projects, the Forgefix Drywall Screws are a vital component in achieving a robust and aesthetically pleasing finish. Weighing just 0.4 pounds, these lightweight yet strong screws provide an economical solution for all your drywall fastening needs.

Overall, the Forgefix Phillips Drywall Screws with a bugle head are a practical and effective choice for anyone looking to achieve high-quality results in their plasterboard installations.
