#14 Metal Roofing Screws 1in OCEAN BLUE - Durable Roof Fasteners

In this review of the #14 Metal Roofing Screws, the bottom line is simple: these screws are a practical, cost-effective choice for anyone fastening metal roofing to wood. The pack of 250 one inch screws with an OCEAN BLUE polyurethane-coated hex head and EPDM washer is aimed at contractors and DIYers who need a fast, weather-resistant fix for corrugated panels. The biggest reason to buy is reliable fastening and corrosion resistance provided by the galvanized shaft and snug EPDM seal, which together reduce leaks and hold panels tight without the fuss of predrilling.

Key Features

• #14 Shaft (.242 in): a heavier gauge shaft provides strong shear and pullout resistance when securing metal roofing to wood structures.
• 1in Length under head: the length is well suited for many common corrugated roof to wood deck applications without protruding excessively.
• 5/16 in Hex Head: the larger hex head makes quick driving with standard sockets or impact drivers easier on job sites.
• ~9/16 in EPDM Washer: the bonded EPDM washer creates a weather-tight seal around fastener holes to help prevent water intrusion.
• Galvanized shaft and painted head: corrosion resistance plus a colored polyurethane head helps the fasteners blend with many metal roofing finishes.
• T17 Sharp Point: self-starting point taps into metal and wood quickly, speeding installation and reducing the need for pilot holes.

Who It's For

These screws suit roofing contractors, barn builders, and homeowners doing reroofs or new small structures like sheds, porches, pole barns, and lean-tos. The pack of 250 is convenient for medium-size projects where a reliable seal and a close color match to blue metal panels are desired.

Those who should look elsewhere include builders working exclusively with very thick substrates or metal-to-metal through-bolting applications where longer fasteners or specialized washers are required. Also, color matching may vary slightly with polyurethane-coated heads, so precision color-critical architectural installs may prefer custom-matched fasteners.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value for money: 250 screws per pack covers a lot of area for a modest cost.
• Functional sealing: EPDM washer and hex head deliver a tight, weather-resistant connection.
• Durable construction: galvanized #14 shaft and sharp T17 point make installation quick and durable.

Cons

• Color variation: the painted polyurethane head may not be a perfect match to every metal roofing brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these screws suitable for metal to wood roofing?
Yes. The T17 sharp point and #14.242 in shaft are designed to self-tap through metal and secure into wood decks reliably.

Will the EPDM washer prevent leaks?
The ~9/16 in EPDM washer provides a weather-tight seal around the screw head to reduce water infiltration when installed correctly.

Do the heads match all blue roofing panels?
The polyurethane-coated heads are painted to closely match many brands, but exact color may vary, so perfect matching is not guaranteed.
