FAQs
What size screw should I use?
The screw size depends on the thickness of the plasterboard and the depth of the studding or batten. A 25mm screw is suitable for standard 12.5mm plasterboard, but longer screws (32mm, 38mm, 42mm, 50mm, 60mm, 65mm, 75mm, 100mm) are available for different applications.
Can these screws be used outdoors?
While the zinc plating offers some protection against rust, it is recommended to use screws specifically designed for outdoor use in external applications.
What type of screwdriver bit is needed?
A Phillips No.2 insert bit is required and is included with the screws.
How many screws are in a box?
The pack contains 1000 screws.
Do I need to pre-drill holes?
Pre-drilling is generally not necessary, but it may be helpful when working with dense materials like thick wood or steel.
How do I prevent the screw heads from damaging the plasterboard?
Use the correct drill speed, apply even pressure, and stop driving when the screw head is flush with the surface. The bugle head design assists with this.
Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during installation.
Reduce the drill speed or apply less pressure. Ensure the correct Phillips bit is used and is in good condition.
Screw not sinking flush.
Adjust the drill clutch setting to prevent overdriving. Ensure the screw is perpendicular to the board.
Screw bending or breaking.
Pre-drill pilot holes for hard materials or adjust drilling speed and pressure.
