#14 Metal Roofing Screws 2in Charcoal (250) - Durable Galvanized

In this review the focus is a practical pack of #14 metal roofing screws intended for corrugated roofing and metal-to-wood installation. The single biggest reason to consider these screws is their combination of a painted polymer head and galvanization, which together offer durable corrosion resistance and a finish that blends with charcoal roofing. For contractors or DIYers who need a reliable bulk supply of self-tapping sheet metal screws, this pack of 250 delivers consistent performance and value for routine roof fastening tasks.

Key Features

• Hex head size: The 5/16in hex head gives good driver engagement for faster installation and reduced cam-out when using a powered driver.
• Length and shaft: At approximately 2in length with a.25in shaft, the screws are long enough to securely fasten metal panels to wood substrates without excessive protrusion.
• Washer seal: Each screw includes an EPDM washer of about 9/16in that helps seal around the fastener and reduces the risk of leaks at the penetration point.
• Polymer-coated head: The painted, two-part polyurethane head improves longevity of the visible finish and aims to match common metal roofing colors for a neater appearance.
• Galvanized body: The screw shafts are galvanized for corrosion resistance, which is important for outdoor roofing exposure.
• Self-starting design: These sheet metal roof screws are self-drilling/self-tapping, simplifying installation through corrugated metal into wood without pre-drilling in many cases.

Who It's For

These screws are best for roofers, siding installers, and homeowners doing replacement or new installation of corrugated metal roofing where metal panels are secured to wood purlins or framing. The bulk 250 count and robust head make them suitable for multi-sheet jobs where consistent fastener performance is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing stainless steel fasteners for highly corrosive coastal environments or installers who require exact color-matched painted heads from a specific roofing brand, since the polymer-coated head is painted to closely match common colors but may vary.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good corrosion resistance thanks to a galvanized shaft paired with a polymer-coated head for longer visible life.
• EPDM washer provides a reliable seal around the penetration to help prevent leaks on corrugated roofs.
• Self-tapping design and 5/16in hex head speed installation and reduce the need for pre-drilling in many metal-to-wood applications.

Cons

• Head color is painted to closely match many roofing brands but may not be an exact match for every panel finish.
• Galvanized finish is good for general corrosion resistance but not the same as stainless for extreme marine or chemical exposure.
