Metal ROOFING SCREWS 10 x 1-1/2 in Ivory Hex Head - Durable Color

In this review of the Metal ROOFING SCREWS 10 x 1-1/2 in pack of 250, the bottom line is simple: these are a practical choice for homeowners and contractors fastening metal roofing to wood where color match and corrosion resistance matter. The reviewer found the screws deliver on core expectations - a painted hex head that blends with panels, a sharp T17 point that starts reliably, and a plated shaft for corrosion resistance - making them a straightforward pick for routine metal-to-wood roofing work.

Key Features

• Painted Colored Head: The two-part polyurethane paint on the head helps the screws visually blend with many metal roofing panels and extends head life compared with simple coatings.
• EPDM Washer: The 1/2 in EPDM washer creates a weather-resistant seal under the head to reduce leaks where the screw penetrates the panel.
• T17 Sharp Point: The self-starting T17 point is designed to drive quickly into wood without the need for pre-drilling in most common roof sheathing applications.
• #10 Galvanized Shaft: Galvanization on the shaft provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for typical outdoor roofing environments.
• 1/4 in Hex Head Size: The 1/4 in hex head fits standard hex drivers and sockets for consistent torque and easier fastener installation.

Who It's For

These screws are best for contractors, roofers, and experienced DIYers installing metal roofing panels to wood purlins or sheathing who value a color-matched finished appearance and a reliable rubber seal. The pack of 250 suits small to medium roof runs or patch jobs where matching head color to the panel is important.

Homeowners doing very light DIY or projects with unusual metal types or corrosive coastal exposure should compare compatibility; for specialized environments or non-wood substrates, a different fastener chemistry or length may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Painted heads blend well with many panels, improving finished appearance.
• EPDM washers provide a secure seal around each penetration to reduce water entry risk.
• T17 point and hex head make driving fast and consistent when used with the right bits.
• Galvanized shafts offer baseline corrosion resistance for typical roofing conditions.

Cons

• Paint color may vary slightly from panel batches, so exact match is not guaranteed.
• Some users reported mixed ease of installation, indicating occasional resistance when driving into harder wood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these screws suitable for fastening to wood?
Yes, they are designed specifically for metal-to-wood fastening with a T17 self-starting point and a 1-1/2 in effective length under the head.

Do the painted heads prevent rust?
The two-part polyurethane paint helps protect the head and improve appearance, while the shaft is galvanized for corrosion resistance; however, extreme coastal or chemical exposures may require specialty fasteners.

Will the color exactly match my roofing panels?
These screws are painted to closely match many brands and panel colors, but some variation is possible, so test a small quantity if an exact match is critical.
