Securing Every Connection
Trust Built on 20 Years of Expertise
Roofing screws are specially designed fasteners used to secure metal roofing sheets, panels, and other roofing materials to building frameworks. They provide a strong, durable hold that prevents materials from shifting under wind, rain, or snow. Roofing screws are widely used in both residential and commercial construction projects.
Corrosion Resistance: Typically coated with zinc, galvanization, or stainless steel to prevent rust.
Rubber Washer Seal: Ensures a waterproof and leak-proof connection.
Self-Tapping Design: Allows direct installation into metal or wood without pre-drilling.
Head Options: Available in hex head or pan head designs to suit installation tools and aesthetic requirements.
Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel
Diameter: Commonly 4.8 mm to 6.3 mm
Length: Typically 19 mm to 100 mm (depending on roof thickness)
Coating: Zinc-plated, painted, or epoxy-coated
Head Type: Hex washer, pan head, or trim head

Drilling Screws (Self-Drilling Screws)
Drilling screws, also known as self-drilling screws, are fasteners that eliminate the need for pre-drilling by combining drilling and fastening in a single step. They are commonly used in metal, steel, and other hard materials for structural connections, machinery assembly, and building frameworks. Drilling screws are ideal for applications requiring high-speed installation and secure fastening.
Self-Drilling Tip: Cuts through metal or wood efficiently, saving installation time.
Threaded Shaft: Provides strong mechanical grip and secure fastening.
Corrosion Resistance: Coated to withstand harsh environments.
Variety of Head Types: Includes hex, pan, or countersunk heads for different installation requirements.
Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel
Diameter: Ranges from 3.5 mm to 8 mm
Length: Typically 16 mm to 100 mm
Coating: Zinc-plated, yellow-chromate, or other corrosion-resistant finishes
Point Type: Drill point or self-drilling tip (depending on material thickness)

Summary of Similarities and Differences
Both screws provide corrosion-resistant solutions for fastening metal.
Both feature self-tapping or self-drilling capabilities for easier installation.
Both are widely used in construction and industrial applications.
Roofing Screws: Designed specifically for roofing applications with waterproof seals.
Drilling Screws: Designed for penetrating metal or other hard materials without pre-drilling.
Roofing screws typically include a rubber washer for leak protection, whereas drilling screws do not.
Drilling screws prioritize structural strength and installation speed, while roofing screws emphasize weatherproofing and material compatibility.
