Round Head Drive Screws Zinc

The round head roofing drive screw - also known as a drive screw or hammer screw - is a zinc-plated fastener driven by hammer rather than turned by screwdriver or impact tool, designed for fixing roofing materials and sheet coverings to timber substrates where speed of installation is the priority over demountability. At the DIY Hardware Store, our round head drive screws are available in the sizes used for standard roofing applications in domestic and agricultural building work.

Drive screws have a helical thread profile that is driven into the timber as the screw is struck with a hammer, creating a faster fixing action than a turned screw and holding as effectively as a nail while resisting pull-out more effectively due to the helical thread engagement. The round head sits cleanly on the roofing material surface. As with all roofing fixings, zinc plating is the minimum corrosion protection required for external use - stainless steel is recommended for exposed coastal locations or longer-term installations.
