ForgeFix Drywall Screws Coarse Thread 4.2 x 100mm Black Phosphate Box 100

Forgefix Phillips Drywall Screws with Black Phosphate Finish are high-quality fasteners designed specifically for drywall applications. These screws feature a bugle head that allows for easy sinking into plasterboard without the need for countersinking, resulting in minimal damage to the surface and a smoother finish. Available in boxes of 100, these screws are ideal for fitting plasterboard, fibreboard, and insulation boards to both wood and steel studding.

Durability and Corrosion Resistance

One of the standout features of these screws is their black phosphate finish, which enhances their durability and provides good corrosion resistance. The phosphate coating consists of thin crystalline layers of phosphate compounds, created from zinc, manganese, or iron phosphate solutions. This porous coating not only offers improved corrosion resistance but also facilitates the absorption of supplementary coatings, further enhancing appearance and abrasion resistance.

Design and Functionality

These screws are designed with a sharp coarse thread, which is engineered for speed and efficiency. The sharply pointed tip easily penetrates the plasterboard skin, allowing for swift insertion while providing excellent holding power once embedded. The bugle head design is particularly beneficial as it aids in driving the screw deeper into the board more smoothly, reducing the risk of damage to the material.

The Phillips head design consists of four tapered slots which are compatible with a Phillips No.2 insert bit. This configuration allows for increased torque when turning the screw. If the torque exceeds the limit, the screwdriver tip will disengage from the screw, preventing over-tightening and potential damage. This feature makes the screws user-friendly and ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Applications

These screws are specifically utilized for fitting dry linings to studding, making them perfect for a range of construction and renovation projects. Whether you are hanging drywall in a new home, renovating a space, or installing insulation, these screws will provide the reliability and performance you need.

Overall, Forgefix Phillips Drywall Screws with Black Phosphate Finish are an essential choice for anyone working with drywall and require a dependable, high-performance fastener. Their thoughtful design and robust construction make them suited for both professional contractors and DIY projects, ensuring a smooth and durable finish in any drywall application.
