Phillips Wafer Head Roofing Screws, Zinc Plated Steel, Unpainted
For Metal to Wood and Metal to OSB (Oriented Strand Board) Applications
Phillips wafer head roofing screws in zinc plated steel with an unpainted finish are designed for low-profile, secure fastening, perfect for metal-to-wood and metal-to-OSB (Oriented Strand Board) applications. These screws feature a wafer-thin head with a Phillips drive, delivering a flush finish that minimizes protrusion through metal panels while providing excellent torque and reduced cam-out risk. They include a self-drilling or self-tapping point for easy penetration without pre-drilling, often paired with a neoprene or EPDM washer for a watertight seal. The zinc plating offers moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor use in less severe environments, while the unpainted finish provides a natural steel look.
Ideal for securing metal roofing panels to wood purlins, plywood, or OSB (Oriented Strand Board), these screws suit residential, agricultural, and industrial settings. They ensure a reliable hold and are compatible with standard tools, with the exact tool type indicated on the product packaging or specifications.
