Metal Roofing Screws #14 1-1/2 in 280-PCS White - Rust Resistant

Our review of these metal roofing screws focuses on contractors and DIYers fitting metal roofing to wood framing who need a reliable, weatherproof fastener. The single biggest reason to consider this pack is the combination of an anti-corrosion coating and an EPDM rubber washer that work together to prevent rust and leaks on exposed roof panels. In testing for drivability and seal, the sharp self-tapping tip and alternating high-low threads showed consistent penetration and holding power in sheet metal and wood without predrilling on common roof thicknesses.

Key Features

• Anti-Corrosion Coating: The hex head and washer are coated with a weather resistant layer that helps prevent rust on exposed roofing fasteners.
• Aggressive High-Low Threads: Alternating high and low threads reduce cracking and splitting while providing a tight grip in both sheet metal and wood siding.
• EPDM Washer: The rubber washer seals around corrugated roofing profiles to minimize the risk of leakage during storms.
• Sharp Tapping Tip: The self-tapping point penetrates metal roofing and wooden structures easily, often eliminating the need for predrilling.
• Complete Package: The kit contains 280 white #14 x 1-1/2 in screws and includes a 10 mm hex socket for driving convenience.

Who It's For

These screws are aimed at roofers, siding installers, and experienced DIYers working on metal-to-wood applications where exposure to weather requires corrosion resistance and a reliable seal. The white painted finish is suitable for matching lighter roofing panels or trim.

Those who need specialty fasteners for thin-gauge metal on non-wood substrates, stainless steel corrosion resistance, or a very long shank length should look elsewhere, as this pack is optimized for common metal-to-wood roof and siding tasks and does not replace stainless or specialty fasteners.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Coated hex head and washer resist rust on exposed roof areas, extending fastener life.
• High-low thread profile provides a strong grip while reducing splitting in wood substrates.
• EPDM washer offers a reliable weather seal around corrugated roofing panels to prevent leaks.
• The sharp self-tapping tip and included 10 mm hex socket speed installation by often removing predrilling steps.

Cons

• Painted white finish may wear over extended UV exposure, exposing metal if installed in very bright, high-UV environments.
• Not specified as stainless steel, so for extreme marine or highly corrosive environments, a stainless option would be preferable.

Our Verdict

For routine metal-to-wood roofing and siding projects this pack represents good value: the anti-corrosion coating plus EPDM washer and sharp tapping tip deliver durable seals and straightforward installation.
