Screws with attached bonded neoprene washers are the perfect solution for installing metal roofs.
June 09, 2022
Metal roofs of the type installed from formed panels of sheet metal, are a common roofing solution for barns, sheds, gazebos and other outbuildings. They offer benefits such as great durability, fire resistance and a long life. Fastener SuperStore carries the screws you will need to install a new metal roof or to repair an existing one.
For a new metal roof being installed onto a building with wooden rafters, our self-piercing screws with bonded neoprene washers are a great fastening solution. Sometimes called needle point screws, the sharp point of these screws is made to easily pierce the sheet metal that the roof is manufactured from.
When installing a metal roof onto metal rafters, self-drilling screws with bonded neoprene washers will probably be the more efficient way to go.
In most cases, simple steel / zinc screws are fine for metal roofs, but for an extra level of corrosion resistance, we do offer our self-driling roofing screws in stainless steel.
Check out our selection of self-piercing screws with attached bonded neoprene washers and our selection of self-drilling screws with bonded neoprene washers in steel / zinc or in 410 stainless steel.
