Drywall screws are specialized self-tapping screws designed to attach gypsum board, drywall, or plasterboard to wood or metal framing. They are used in interior wall and ceiling construction and can secure drywall to wood studs, furring strips, or steel studs.
Product Description
The bugle head has a flat, countersunk underside that presses the paper face of the drywall without tearing it, creating a smooth dimple that is easy to fill with joint compound. A sharp self-tapping point drives into framing without pre-drilling, while the Phillips #2 drive is standard for drywall screw guns and drills.
Material and Finish
The screws are made from hardened steel with a coating. Most use black phosphate for rust resistance and grip, while galvanized or zinc finishes are available for moisture areas.
