When it comes to drywall screws, there are some general rules to adhere to when you are deciding which type to purchase; these are, the longer the fixing, the stronger the hold, and make sure to choose a screw at least twice the width of the material you’re screwing to the studding.

Coarse or Fine Thread?

Choose coarse if you’re working with softwood timbers; due to not being densely packed, these soft materials require a screw that tears deep into the component, enabling them to be gripped and pull the drywall tight into the surrounding studding. They are also much less likely to become clogged up than fine thread screws, making them a more efficient choice for softwood.

Fine threads are ideal for metal stud drywalls or denser timbers such as mahogany or oak. Because of their design, you lessen the risk of splitting the drywall during the driving process, resulting in a smoother finish.

Black or Zinc

Typically, the finish doesn’t matter aesthetically for drywall screws, as most will be covered up. However, zinc screws offer resistance from moist areas that may otherwise cause rust and deterioration. Black screws provide a more aesthetic finish and are common choices for home decor use, and theatre stage builds. 

In terms of cost, zinc wins every time as they are more widely available than their black counterparts. Whatever your preference, at RC, we offer bulk boxes of 1000 drywall screws at unbeatable trade prices for you to get your renovations well underway.
