#14 Metal Roofing Screws 250 Pack 1-1/2 in - Painted Hex Head

In this review of the #14 Metal ROOFING SCREWS (250) 1-1/2 in pack, the bottom line is simple: these are a solid choice for DIYers and contractors fastening metal roofing to wood. The reviewer found the screws deliver reliable holding power thanks to the sharp T17 type point and a.242 in shaft, while the painted polyurethane head and EPDM washer help reduce visible leaks and improve fit with many metal roof colors. If you need a practical, economical fastener for corrugated roofing, this pack is built for that job.

Key Features

• T17 Type Point: The sharp point starts and taps through sheet metal quickly so panels go down with fewer pilot holes and faster progress on the roof.
• #14 Shaft Diameter: The.242 in shaft provides robust shear and pullout strength suited to fastening metal sheets to wood framing and purlins.
• 1-1/2 in Length: The length under the head is long enough to penetrate corrugated metal and seat into wood without over-penetration in most standard roofing applications.
• EPDM Washer: The ~9/16 in EPDM washer creates a weather seal around the fastener to reduce leaks where screws pass through roofing panels.
• Painted Polyurethane Head: The head coating is painted to closely match many metal roofing colors, improving the finished appearance on visible runs.
• Galvanized Finish: Galvanization improves corrosion resistance so the screws hold up in exterior roofing environments.

Who It's For

These screws are best for homeowners, handymen, and roofing contractors installing or repairing corrugated metal roofs on houses, porches, sheds, pole barns, and similar wood-framed structures. The pack size of 250 suits medium projects or as a bulk replacement set for leak-prone areas.

They are not the ideal choice for metal-to-metal installations or where stainless steel is required for severe coastal corrosion resistance; users needing high-end marine-grade fasteners should look elsewhere. Also, if you need a self-drilling point for thick steel substrates, confirm compatibility first.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good holding power from the #14.242 in shaft and 1-1/2 in length for wood-based roof assemblies.
• EPDM washer and painted head improve weather sealing and finished looks on visible roofs.
• Galvanized coating and sharp T17 point provide reliable corrosion resistance and fast driving.
• Large 250 count offers value for medium to large repair or installation jobs.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed results on self-tapping ability in very hard materials, so pre-drilling may be necessary in certain cases.
• Painted head color may vary slightly and might not be an exact match for every metal roofing brand.

Our Verdict

For anyone installing or repairing corrugated metal roofing on wood structures, these #14 roofing screws offer a practical balance of durability, sealing, and appearance at a reasonable price. They are especially good for typical residential and agricultural roofs where galvanized corrosion resistance and an EPDM seal are sufficient, though specialty stainless options may be better for extreme coastal exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these screws suitable for metal to wood installation?
Yes. The T17 point,.242 in shaft, and 1-1/2 in length are designed to fasten metal roofing to wood supports effectively.

Will the painted heads match my roof color?
The polyurethane coated head is painted to closely match many brands, but color may vary slightly and might not be a perfect match for every roof.

Do these screws resist rust?
The screws are galvanized for corrosion resistance, but in very harsh coastal or marine environments stainless fasteners may be preferable.
