Drywall-to-Metal Self-Drilling Screws

Drywall-to-metal self-drilling screws are specifically designed to attach drywall panels securely to light-gauge steel studs. Featuring a self-drilling tip, these screws cut directly into steel framing without the need for pre-drilling, making installation faster and easier. With bugle heads that sink neatly into the drywall surface, they create a smooth finish ready for mudding and painting.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Self-Drilling Point: Cuts into steel studs without pre-drilling, saving time on installation.
  • Bugle Head Design: Prevents tearing of the drywall paper, ensuring a flush and professional finish.
  • Fine Threads: Engineered to bite cleanly into light-gauge metal studs.
  • Interior Finish: Black phosphate coating ideal for interior drywall projects.
  • Fast, Reliable Installation: Consistent performance in high-volume construction jobs.

Common Applications

  • Securing drywall panels to steel studs in commercial or residential construction
  • Framing projects where steel is used instead of wood
  • Interior wall and ceiling drywall installations
  • Projects requiring a smooth, flush finish for mudding and painting

Choosing the Right Drywall-to-Metal Screw

When selecting drywall-to-metal self-drilling screws, consider:

  • Stud Thickness: Match the drill point to the gauge of the steel stud (light-gauge is most common).
  • Screw Length: Ensure the screw length allows full penetration into the stud without protruding.
  • Head Style: Bugle heads are standard for drywall, providing a smooth surface finish.
  • Coating: Black phosphate for standard interior use; corrosion-resistant coatings if used in damp environments.
