#14 Metal Roofing Screws 2in Crimson Red (250) - Durable Hex Head

Our review of these #14 Metal Roofing Screws focuses on everyday roofing and siding projects where color match and corrosion resistance matter. For contractors or DIYers fitting corrugated roofing or sheet metal siding, the biggest reason to buy is reliable fastening with a painted hex head and EPDM washer that seals around fastener penetrations. The screws are sold in a 250-count pack and arrive ready for self-tapping into wood beneath metal, making them a practical choice when installers want consistent performance and a near-match finish to many metal roofing brands.

Key Features

• 2in Length: The 2-1/64in length provides sufficient hold through corrugated metal into wood purlins for secure attachment.
• #14 Diameter: A larger shaft that offers stronger shear and pullout resistance compared with smaller sheet metal screws.
• Polymer Coated Head: The painted hex head uses a two part polyurethane finish to extend life and visually blend with roofing panels.
• EPDM Washer: The roughly 9/16in EPDM washer helps create a watertight seal around the fastener to reduce leaks at each penetration.
• Galvanized Shaft: The shaft is galvanized for corrosion resistance where the screw pierces metal and wood, improving longevity in exterior use.
• Hex Head Drive: The 5/16in hex head drives with standard hex or socket tools for fast, repeatable installation.

Who It's For

These screws are best for roofing contractors, installers, and homeowners who need a sizable fastener for corrugated metal roofs or sheet metal siding secured to wood framing. The painted head makes them a practical choice when appearance matters alongside weatherproofing.

They are less suitable for structural metal-to-metal connections where specialized fasteners or higher-grade coatings are required, or for very thin metal where a smaller diameter screw might be preferred to avoid over-driving.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value in a 250-count pack for larger roofing runs requiring many fasteners.
