Zinc Plated Steel Pancake Head Roofing Screws
For Metal to Wood and Standing Seam Applications
Zinc plated steel pancake head roofing screws are designed for low-profile, flush-mount fastening, suitable for metal-to-wood and standing seam roofing applications. These screws feature a thin, flat head that sits flush with the surface to prevent dimpling or protrusion, typically available in #10 or #12 sizes with a sharp or self-drilling point for easy penetration without pre-drilling. Often equipped with a #2 square or Phillips drive, they provide strong torque and reduced cam-out risk. The zinc plating on the steel offers moderate corrosion resistance, making them appropriate for outdoor use, with some options including a neoprene or EPDM washer for added sealing.
These screws are ideal for securing standing seam clips to wood substrates or fastening metal roofing panels to wood purlins and OSB, ensuring a durable hold in residential, agricultural, and industrial settings. They are compatible with standard tools, typically requiring a 7/16 inch wrench or a compatible driver bit, depending on the design.
