Drywall Screws

Our plasterboard screws cover every board fixing job, from lining a stud wall to boarding a ceiling. Also called drywall screws, they use a bugle head that pulls the board tight and sinks just below the paper, ready to tape or skim, without tearing the surface.

The range spans the full choice of thread and finish:

  • Coarse thread for fixing plasterboard to timber studwork.
  • Fine thread and self-drilling for fixing to metal stud and track.
  • Black, silver and collated options for hand or gun driving.
  • Dense board screws for high-density and fibre boards.

Not sure which thread you need? Our screw sizes and types guide explains coarse versus fine, drives and finishes. Supplied by Stick2 Products at UK trade prices, backed by TIMCO quality.

What are drywall screws used for?

Drywall screws are used to secure plasterboard to timber or metal stud frames with a firm, flush finish.

Can drywall screws be used on metal studs?

Yes. Specific drywall screws are designed for metal stud installation.

Do drywall screws reduce splitting?

Yes. Their fine threads and sharp points help minimise plasterboard splitting.

Are drywall screws suitable for heavy boards?

Yes. Heavy-duty drywall screws provide extra holding power for thicker boards.

What head type do drywall screws have?

They typically feature a bugle head for flush seating without damaging the board surface.

Do drywall screws require pre-drilling?

Pre-drilling is usually not required for standard drywall applications but depends on substrate hardness.
