Whether you're installing a polycarbonate or a PVC corrugated roof, a metal or bitumen roof structure, you'll need the correct screws to make the fitting and fixing process as straightforward as possible. Choosing the correct screws will also ensure that your roof sheeting stays reliably and firmly fixed in place - but where do you start? And what are the best types of screws for my roof sheeting project?
Sheeting screws and similar fixings need to be strong and secure, corrosion resistant, easy to drive into roofing sub-structures, offer watertight protection to guard against rain ingress and durable enough to withstand the effects of outdoor weathering. Other key features to look out for include a self-drilling design - allowing the screw to self-tap its own thread without the requirement for pre-drilling pilot holes - as well as rainproof caps, a generous pack size and an array of colours to match your roof sheets.
Without the correct screws and fixings, you'll not only impact the aesthetic appeal of your project, you're also at risk of your roof sheeting coming loose or even leaking, cracking and splitting due to natural expansion and contraction throughout the year.
Therefore, among all the different roof sheeting options available to you, you'll need the correct screws to match your roof sheeting project. Sheeting Giant has a wide range of fixing accessories to cover every angle of the roof sheeting installation process. We've sourced only the very best fixing screws from trusted brands, including Surge, Vistalux, RoofTrade and Corotile.
