RS PRO Plasterboard Screws


Introducing the range of RS PRO Plasterboard, a high-quality fastener solution for applications where a flush finish is required on plasterboard or wood panels. Each fastener is made from steel with a black oxide coating, making them much more cost-effective than their stainless-steel counterparts, while offering a high level of protection against surface rust and oxidisation.

Features and Benefits:


  • This range of RS PRO fasteners is ideal for applications where a flush final finish is required and is specifically used for joining plasterboard and wood panels together

  • Manufactured with a black oxide finish, each fastener provides good protection against surface rust, oxidisation and weathering, and offers good lubricity to the threads of the fastener

  • In addition to this, the black oxide steel fasteners are much more cost effective than stainless steel and is also widely recyclable, making them a much more sustainable option

  • Available in a wide range of sizes

Applications:


Self drilling screws are designed to be used with a wide range of materials like wood and metal, and to join panels or pieces together. They offer a higher tensile strength than nails thanks to the thread which in turn produces a more secure fastening, making them ideal for medium to heavy duty applications. They are easy to install and can also be removed for disassembly or adjustment. Wood screws are most commonly used for:
  • Carpentry construction like decking, railings and small frames

  • Metalwork and metal framing

  • Building work and construction

  • DIY
