Applications

While black phosphate drywall screws offer numerous advantages, it is essential to consider the specific requirements of each project. They are best suited for interior applications where exposure to moisture is limited. In external environments or areas subjected to heavy moisture, specialized screws designed for such conditions may be preferable.

When it comes to installation, 4% self-drilling screws are easy to use. Simply select the appropriate screw size and drive them into the material using a power drill. The self-drilling tip will do the rest, creating a clean and precise hole for the screw to secure itself in place. This makes them ideal for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Tek screws are specialized screws designed with a drill point that allows them to drill through materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilling holes. Named after the brand Tek, which first popularized them, these screws are available in various sizes and materials—most commonly steel and stainless steel—making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including metal and wood cladding.
