ForgeFix Drywall Screws Coarse Thread 3.5 x 45mm Black Phosphate Box 200

These Forgefix Phillips Single Thread Drywall Screws are specifically designed for efficient use in drywall applications. Featuring a durable black phosphate finish, these screws are engineered to withstand the rigours of construction while providing excellent corrosion resistance. Available in boxes of 500 and 1,000 units, each box is supplied with a Phillips No.2 insert bit, ensuring you have the necessary tools at your fingertips for quick and easy installation.

Design and Application

The distinctive Bugle Head design of these drywall screws allows them to sink seamlessly into dry lining without the need for countersinking. This innovative feature minimises surface damage, ensuring a smoother finish is achieved during installation. They are ideal for fitting dry linings to both wooden and steel studding, making them versatile for various construction and renovation projects.

Coating and Durability

The phosphate coating applied to these screws is composed of thin crystalline layers of phosphate compounds that adhere effectively to the surface of the fasteners. This layer not only enhances the screws’ corrosion resistance but also provides an excellent base for supplementary coatings, which can further improve their corrosion resistance and improve overall appearance. The porous nature of the phosphate coating allows for better absorption of additional finishes, assisting in maintaining a quality look over time.

Screw Design

Designed with a Phillips head, these screws feature four simple tapered slots, making them compatible with Phillips screwdrivers. This design enables effective torque transfer while preventing overtightening; if excessive torque is applied, the screwdriver tip will disengage from the screw, protecting both the screw head and the tool from damage. The coarse thread configuration of these screws is optimized for the application, equipped with an extremely sharp point that easily penetrates the skin of plasterboard. This coarse threading offers speedy insertion and improved holding power, essential for ensuring that plasterboard remains securely attached to the underlying structure.
