#14 Metal Roofing Screws 1-1/2 in BURGUNDY - Durable Roof Fasteners

In this review the focus is on a practical pack of #14 metal roofing screws designed for fastening sheet metal to wood. The reviewer found these screws most useful for homeowners or contractors replacing or installing corrugated roofing where a painted head and EPDM washer are desired. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a painted polyurethane head that blends with roofing and a sharp T17 point that makes quick work of securing panels to wood, giving a reliable, finished look without needing separate washers.

Key Features

• Painted Polyurethane Head: The colored head is coated to closely match many metal roofing colors, reducing visible fastener contrast on the roof.
• EPDM Washer: The ~9/16' EPDM washer under the hex washer head creates a weather seal that helps prevent leaks around each fastener.
• #14 Shaft Size: The.242' shaft diameter provides substantial shear strength for attaching metal panels to wood framing.
• 1-1/2' Length: The length under the head is suitable for typical single-layer metal to wood applications such as sheds and porches.
• Galvanized Body: Galvanization improves corrosion resistance for outdoor roofing use in many climates.
• Sharp T17 Point: The self-starting T17 point helps the screw penetrate metal and bite into wood quickly for fast installation.

Who It's For

These screws are aimed at homeowners, handymen, and small contractors installing or repairing corrugated metal roofing on structures like sheds, pole barns, porches, and small workshops. They work well when a matching head color and a built-in washer are preferred to speed installation and improve appearance.

Those who need extra-long fasteners for multiple substrate layers, stainless steel for extreme coastal corrosion resistance, or specialized screws for metal-to-metal lap fastening should look elsewhere; this pack is optimized for metal to wood attachment at common roofing thicknesses.
