What are the Different Types of Special Screws for Dry Construction?

In this article we give you more information about the different types and sizes of special screws for dry construction.

Titan Screw

Titan Screw is a bugle head drywall screw designed with high-low thread for fixing high density plasterboards (Titan Board DFH1IR, Sound Comfort Extra DF, etc.) to metal profiles with metal thiсkness up to 0.7 mm. The high-low thread under the screw head ensures a seamless screw and a strong connection between the profile and the board. The sharp end ensures easy penetration into the metal profile, giving a smooth and finished appearance to the wall.

Titan Screw is offered in two sizes:

  • Titan Screw 3.9 x 25 mm – For one layer lining of plasterboard with standard thickness of 12.5 mm and a metal profile up to 0.7 mm.
  • Titan Screw 3.9 x 35 mm – For the second layer of a two-layer lining of plasterboard with standard thickness of 12.5 mm and a metal profile up to 0.7 mm.

Cement Board Screw

Cement Board Screw is a bugle head screw with high-low thread, with high resistance against corrosion, for fixing fiber cement boards to metal profiles with metal thickness up to 0.7 mm.

Cement Board Screw is offered in two sizes:

  • Cement Board Screw TN 3.9 x 25 mm – For one layer lining of fiber cement board with standard thickness of 12.5 mm and a metal profile up to 0.7 mm.
  • Cement Board Screw TN 3.9 x 35 mm – For the second layer of a two-layer lining of fiber cement board with standard thickness of 12.5 mm and a metal profile up to 0.7 mm.

Plasterboard Screw

Plasterboard Screw is a bugle head screw which is corrosion resistant and is designed for fixing plasterboards and other objects to plasterboard for installation of decorative elements or securing electrical console boxes.

The Plasterboard Screw is offered in one size:

  • Plasterboard Screw TN 5.5x38 mm

The screws are fixed with a drywall screwdriver which must be held perpendicular to the board, so that the angle between the board and the screw is 90 degrees. The screw head should penetrate 1 mm below the surface of the board, and the free end of the screw should enter at least 10 mm into the hollow space of the profile.
