#14 Metal Roofing Screws 2in Charcoal Hex Head - Durable Roof

In this review of the #14 Metal Roofing Screws, the bottom line is simple: these screws are aimed at contractors, DIY roofers, and anyone replacing or installing corrugated metal roofing who needs durable, color-matched fasteners. The most compelling reason to buy is long-term performance from a polymer-coated, two-part polyurethane painted head and galvanized shaft that resists corrosion while providing the sealing benefit of an EPDM washer. For anyone fitting metal to wood or fixing sheet metal siding, they deliver reliable penetration and weather resistance.

Key Features

• 2in Length: The 2in shaft gives confident bite through most metal roofing into underlying wood purlins for a secure connection.
• #14 Diameter: The larger #14 size offers greater shear strength and holding power for heavy gauge metal panels compared with smaller screws.
• Hex Head 5/16in: The 5/16in hex head makes installation faster with common drivers and reduces cam-out on high-volume installs.
• EPDM Washer: The integrated EPDM washer provides a weather-tight seal around each fastener to reduce leaks at screw points.
• Polymer Coated Painted Head: The two-part polyurethane paint on the screw head improves UV resistance and appearance, helping the fasteners blend with roofing colors.
• Galvanized Shaft: The galvanized finish on the threads helps resist corrosion where the screw penetrates the metal and wood.

Who It's For

These screws are best for professional roofers, builders, and experienced DIYers working on corrugated or sheet metal roofing and siding where a sturdy, weather-sealed fastener is needed. The larger #14 size and 2in length are appropriate for attaching metal panels to wood supports and for retrofits where extra holding strength matters. Their painted heads suit visible installations where appearance counts.

People who should look elsewhere include those needing extremely small or delicate fasteners for thin gauge metal or projects requiring stainless steel for marine exposure; the product is galvanized and polymer painted rather than stainless, so specify a different fastener if saltwater corrosion resistance is required.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good holding power from the #14 size and 2in length, which customers note performs well driving through metal into wood.
• Weather sealing with the EPDM washer reduces the risk of leaks at fastener points.
• Polymer-coated, painted hex head gives improved appearance and longer head life compared with plain painted screws.

Cons

• Paint color may vary slightly between batches and brands, so exact color match is not guaranteed for visible roofing.
• Not stainless steel; customers needing maximum corrosion resistance in coastal environments should consider a stainless alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these screws suitable for attaching metal to wood?
Yes, the 2in length and #14 diameter are intended for metal-to-wood applications and provide strong holding power.

Will the painted head match my roof color exactly?
The polymer-coated head is painted to closely match common metal roofing colors but slight variations between batches and brands are possible.

Are these stainless steel?
No, the screws have a galvanized shaft for corrosion resistance and a painted head; choose stainless steel fasteners for maximum corrosion protection.
