Forgefix DWS32 Phillips Bugle Head Drywall Screw Zinc Plated

These Forgefix Phillips Twin Fine Thread Drywall Screws are designed for exceptional performance when fitting dry linings to studding. With a zinc plated finish, these screws offer increased durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a longer-lasting solution for your drywall installations.

The screws feature a Bugle Head design, allowing them to sink effortlessly into dry lining materials without the need for countersinking. This innovative design minimises surface damage, resulting in a neater finish. Each box comes complete with a Phillips No.2 insert bit, making it convenient to use right out of the packaging.

Durability and Protection

One of the standout features of these drywall screws is their zinc coating, which effectively prevents oxidation of the protected metal. This coating not only creates a protective barrier but also acts as a sacrificial anode. In the event that the barrier is damaged, the zinc will corrode before the substrate, preserving the integrity of the screw. The formation of zinc oxide, which appears as a fine white dust, does not compromise the surface integrity as iron oxide would. When left intact, this zinc oxide can further shield the screw from oxidation, functioning similarly to the protective oxide layers found on aluminum and stainless steel.

The Phillips design features four tapered slots, allowing for enhanced torque when using a Phillips tip screwdriver. This design facilitates a secure grip and, if the torque becomes excessive, prevents over-tightening by enabling the screwdriver tip to wind out of the screw. This key feature helps to avoid damage to the screw head while ensuring that the installation is both secure and reliable.

Fine thread screws are renowned for their sharp points, which enable them to pierce through plasterboard with ease. They are also capable of drilling through thin steel base structures, making them a versatile choice for various applications in construction and repair.
