Plasterboard Screws

Insulation4Less provides a comprehensive selection of plasterboard screws, catering to various application needs within the construction and DIY industries. We house products from respected vendors such as Forgefix,Dewalt, and Samac. Let’s delve into the intricate world of plasterboard screws, elucidating the functionalities and applications of the various types we offer.

Drywall Screws

Black Coarse Thread & Zinc Plated

Drywall screws like our Black Coarse Thread Drywall Screws and Zinc Plated Drywall Screws are quintessential in the installation of plasterboards. Black Coarse Thread screws often find use in wooden substrates due to their sharp point and coarse thread, enabling easy penetration and holding strength. Conversely, the Zinc Plated screws, known for their resistance to corrosion, are apt for environments prone to moisture.

Collated Screws

Collated screws, such as Coarse Thread Collated Screws and Fine Thread Collated Screws, are strategically organised in a way that makes them compatible with screw guns, enabling swift and efficient installations. Coarse threads are optimal for use with wood, while fine threads, having a sharper point, are better suited for metal framework due to their pull-out resistance.

Specialised Drywall Screws

The Forgefix Collated Black Phosphate Drywall Screws add a layer of rust resistance with its phosphate coating and are exemplary for both professional construction and DIY projects due to their durability and strength.

Self-Drilling Screws

MF20 Wafer Head Self Drill Screw

MF20 Wafer Head Self Drill Screws, designed with a wafer head to prevent paper burring during plasterboard installation, are excellent for applications that involve metal framing (MF) systems. The self-drilling tip negates the need for pre-drilling, augmenting installation speed and efficiency, especially with the 12mm thickness boards.

Insulation Supports

10mm & 4.5mm Insulation Supports

Our 10mm and 4.5mm Insulation Supports assist in holding insulation in place during installation, providing an added layer of support and ensuring a snug fit between the insulation material and the surrounding framework.

Masonry & Hammer Fixings

Masonry Fixings & Hammer Fixings

Our Masonry Fixings (10mm) and Hammer Fixings Hit-M cater to applications involving concrete and solid brick, providing secure fastening with minimal risk of pull-out. Ideal for wall ties, insulation, or any other masonry application requiring a secure and robust fixing.

Cavity and Plasterboard Fixings

Spring Toggles & Brolly Anchors

Samac Spring Toggles and Brolly Anchor products facilitate stable and secure fixings in hollow and cavity wall applications. While spring toggles are apt for heavy-duty installations in hollow walls, brolly anchors (like the Samac Cavity Fixings M5 Brolly Anchors) provide robust support in cavity walls.

Plasterboard Anchor

The Samac Plasterboard Anchor and Screw, with a precise 35mm screw, is tailored for secure, vibration-proof fastening in plasterboard, ensuring a stable and long-lasting fixing.

Choosing the Right Screw

Your selection from these screw types should stem from your application needs:

• Material Interface: Coarse threads for wood; fine threads and self-drilling for metal.
• Environment: Opt for zinc-plated or phosphate-coated screws in moist conditions.
• Load-Bearing Capacity: For heavy loads, opt for specialised masonry, or cavity wall fixings.
