#14 Metal Roofing Screws 250-Pack 2in Hex Head - Durable Finish

Our review of the #14 Metal Roofing Screws (250) looks at whether these 2in hex head fasteners are a practical choice for small roofing and siding projects. The bottom line: these screws are a solid, value-oriented option for builders and DIYers who need corrosion-resistant fasteners with a painted, polymer-coated head that blends with metal panels. The most convincing reason to buy is the combination of a self-tapping #14 shaft and an EPDM washer that seals corrugated and sheet metal penetrations while offering long-term durability.

Key Features

• Self-starting #14 shaft: Designed to tap through metal into wood backing, the screw reduces pre-drilling and speeds installation on corrugated roofing panels.
• 2in length: Provides sufficient penetration for most metal roofing to wood applications without excessive protrusion on the underside.
• Polymer-coated painted head: The two-part polyurethane finish helps the head resist weathering and is color-matched to common metal roofing shades.
• EPDM washer seal: The 9/16in washer compresses to create a weather-tight seal around the fastener, reducing leak risk at each penetration.
• Galvanized screw body: The shaft is galvanized for corrosion resistance where it is most exposed, improving longevity on outdoor roofs.

Who It's For

These screws suit homeowners, roofers, and contractors working on corrugated or sheet metal roofing and siding where a reliable, painted head and EPDM sealing washer are important. They are especially useful for projects that benefit from a fast, self-tapping installation into wood backing or purlins.

Those who should look elsewhere include installers who require stainless steel fasteners for extreme coastal exposure or projects that specify a different head diameter or non-painted finish. If precise color matching is critical, be aware the polymer-coated head may vary by production batch.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good corrosion protection from a galvanized shaft combined with a protective painted head for longer life outdoors.
• EPDM washer provides a dependable seal for corrugated roofing penetrations, reducing water intrusion risk.
• Large 2in length and self-tapping tip speed installation into wood-backed metal panels.

Cons

• Painted head color may vary slightly between batches and might not match every roof brand exactly.
• Not stainless steel, so extreme salt-air environments may require a different fastener choice.

Our Verdict

For typical residential and light commercial metal roofing work, these #14 2in screws represent strong value: they combine a self-tapping design, EPDM sealing washer, and a painted, polymer-coated head that improves appearance and resistance to weathering. Buyers who need stainless hardware for severe coastal conditions should choose a different material, but for most corrugated roofing and siding projects these screws perform reliably and economically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these screws suitable for corrugated metal roofing?
Yes. The EPDM washer and 2in length make them suitable for corrugated roofing into wood backing, providing a weather-tight seal.

Do the painted heads match all metal roofing brands?
The polymer-coated heads are painted to closely match common roofing colors, but exact color can vary between production batches so perfect match is not guaranteed.

Are these stainless steel fasteners?
No. The screw bodies are galvanized for corrosion resistance and the heads are polyurethane painted; choose stainless steel for extreme salt-air environments.
