FAQs

What is the main application for these screws?

These screws are primarily designed for fastening fibre cement boards in light section applications, such as cladding and exterior paneling.

Are these screws suitable for heavy-duty construction?

No, these screws are specifically intended for light section applications and are not recommended for heavy-duty or load-bearing structural purposes.

What does the BZP finish mean?

BZP stands for Bright Zinc Plated. This finish provides a layer of zinc that offers good resistance to corrosion and rust, making the screws suitable for outdoor use.

Can I use these screws with standard power tools?

Yes, these screws are designed for easy installation with standard power drills and drivers.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

For most fibre cement board applications on light sections, pre-drilling is often not necessary. However, if you encounter very dense material or wish to ensure a perfectly straight insertion, a pilot hole can be beneficial.

What size are these screws?

The dimensions of these screws are 6.3mm in diameter and 110mm in length.

Are these screws suitable for treated timber?

Yes, they are suitable for use with treated timber framing common in light section construction, provided the timber is appropriately dried and prepared.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips during installation

Ensure you are using the correct type and size of screwdriver bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure and avoid over-driving the screw. If the head is already stripped, a screw extractor might be necessary.

Screw does not seat properly

Check if the material thickness is appropriate for the screw length. Ensure you are driving the screw straight into the material. For very hard materials, consider a pilot hole.

Corrosion or staining observed

While BZP offers resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or constant immersion in water can still lead to degradation. Ensure correct installation and consider if the application environment exceeds the product's intended use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable fastening for fibre cement applications.
  • BZP finish offers good corrosion resistance.
  • Easy to install with standard tools.
  • Suitable for light section construction projects.

Cons

  • Not designed for heavy-duty or load-bearing applications.
  • Specific use case means they may not be suitable for all project types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These screws are designed for direct application. Ensure you are using a compatible drill or driver with an appropriate bit head. Pre-drilling pilot holes may be beneficial in some dense materials to prevent splitting or facilitate easier insertion, though often not strictly necessary for fibre cement board attachment to light sections.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with fibre cement boards and light section framing (timber or light gauge steel). They are not intended for use with heavy steel sections or concrete.

Care: Due to their BZP finish, these screws offer good corrosion resistance. For standard exterior use, no special care is typically required. In highly corrosive environments, periodic inspection is recommended. Keep them stored in a dry place to maintain their finish before installation.
