Roofing screws for metal tile

A special type of self-tapping screw is used for roofing work with metal tile. These fasteners consist of a threaded shank ending in a small drill-point tip.

The head of the screw consists of several parts: a steel washer, a rubber gasket, and a hexagon head. The steel washer ensures a reliable connection, while the rubber gasket provides sealing so that moisture does not get inside through the hole for the screw.

How to use

For installation, holes must be pre-drilled. The screws are inserted into them strictly at a right angle and driven in until the head begins to compress.

During installation, the base into which the screws are driven — metal or wood — must also be taken into account. Fasteners with the corresponding thread are selected accordingly. Screw consumption is about 8-10 fasteners per square meter.
