Roofing Screws

Roofing Screws

Your roofing project needs more than just quality metal roofing and substrate. It demands strong screws to hold it all together. Install a long-lasting metal roof with our top-rated roof screws designed for commercial and residential roofing projects.

Our range of roofing screws come with features like: 

  • Hex washer head that improves the screw’s grip.
  • Fine threads that create a strong hold between light-gauge metals.
  • A range of thicknesses that provide high-level material connectivity.
  • Neoprene washer for enhanced waterproofing.

Roofing Screws Features and Benefits

When you purchase a Grip-Rite® roofing screw, you can count on several variations designed to meet the demands of your roofing projects. 

Coating options:

  • Galvanization coating: Galvanization provides a consistent, durable coating that improves rust resistance.
  • Dacrotized coating: Some of our screws feature a dacrotized coating, a formulation of zinc and aluminum for enhanced weather resistance.
  • Hot-galvanized: This method produces a durable coating layer for increased protection against corrosion.

Varying point styles:

  • Sharp point: Improves drivability and offers faster installations.
  • #3 Self-drilling: Eliminates the need for pilot holes, making for seamless installation.
  • Type 17(T17): When you are looking for quick installation and metal to wood roofing screw, T17 is the most suitable.

As your trusted partner for innovative and reliable roofing solutions, we offer a selection of roofing solutions designed to further enhance the security of your roof. 

Roof Eave and Valley Protector

Keep your roof dry with our Eave and Valley protector. This self-adhesive membrane is 53-mil thick and is the perfect addition to your roof for enhanced protection against water damage caused by ice or rain. Our ASTM-grade protector is sanded for reduced slippage, requires no primer, and is easy to install. 

Roof Underlayment

Give your roof superior water-shedding with our Grip-Rite® ShingleLayment®-HT. Instead of creating a simple underlayment, we took our design a step further to create a product that is ASTM D1970 certified for leakage protection against ice dams and has the highest Class A fire rating. Our underlayment is ideal for various roofing membranes, including TPO and PVC.

Roll Flashing

We manufacture the Grip-Rite® roll flashing using aluminum or steel for naturally rust-resistant leakage prevention for your roof. However, our flashing is also galvanized to bolster its weather resistance. We package the flashing in convenient rolls, making it easy to install.

FAQs

We have rounded up answers to some of the common questions regarding roofing screws.

What roofing screws are the best?

The answer depends on your roofing material. For example, the best metal roofing screws have a neoprene washer to help minimize leaks. Metal to wood roofing screws typically have a T17 point that promotes faster drivability.

What is the difference between roofing screws and nails?

Roofing screws have a higher hold strength compared to nails, but nails offer faster installation than screws. Roofing screws are also specifically for metal roofs, and roofing nails are typically used to secure asphalt shingles. 

What are the different types of roofing screws?

Roofing screws are categorized based on their functionality. We have wood screws that are ideal for wood shakes, concrete screws that are perfect for masonry and roofing screws for metal roofing.
