#14 Metal Roofing Screws 1-1/2 in BRITE WHITE - Corrugated Roof

In this review the focus is on a straightforward pack of #14 metal roofing screws aimed at anyone fastening corrugated or sheet metal to wood. The single biggest reason to consider these screws is reliable holding power combined with a painted, polyurethane coated head that blends with many metal roof colors, which helps both function and appearance. For a homeowner repairing leaks, a contractor doing a shed or pole barn, or a DIYer redoing trim, this pack offers a practical mix of corrosion resistance and ease of use in a familiar, conventional screw design.

Key Features

• Hex washer head: The 5/16 in hex washer head provides a solid driving surface so screws seat cleanly and reduce cam-out when using a hex driver.
• EPDM washer seal: The ~9/16 in EPDM washer helps seal around the fastener to reduce water intrusion on corrugated and sheet metal profiles.
• #14 shaft size: The.242 in shaft gives heavier shank strength for good pullout resistance when fastening metal to wood structures.
• 1-1/2 in length: The length under the head is 1-1/2 in, which is suitable for attaching one layer of metal roofing to standard wood purlins or decking.
• Polyurethane coated head: The painted head is intended to closely match many metal roof finishes so the fasteners are less visible once installed.
• Sharp T17 point: The self-starting T17 point is designed to penetrate roofing and bite into wood quickly for faster installation.

Who It's For

These screws are best for homeowners, builders, and contractors installing or repairing corrugated metal roofing on houses, porches, sheds, pole barns, shop buildings, airplane hangars, and lean-tos. The 1-1/2 in length and stout #14 shaft are suitable where a single layer of metal is being fastened to wood framing or purlins.

Those who need stainless fasteners for coastal environments or who require a longer length for thicker insulation or multiple layers should look elsewhere. Also, if exact color matching is critical for a high-end architectural roof, the painted head may vary slightly from the roofing brand.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good holding strength from the #14.242 in shaft ideal for wood substrates.
• Painted, polyurethane coated head improves appearance and blends with many metal roofs.
• EPDM washer and galvanized shaft provide sealing and corrosion resistance compared with plain steel fasteners.

Cons

• Color on the coated head may vary and might not be an exact match to all roofing brands.
• Some customers report mixed results on long-term rust prevention, so heavy marine exposure may require a different finish.
