Material & Coating | Corrosion-resistant steel | Withstands rust in wet UK conditions | Ideal for coastal or high-humidity areas |
Washer Type | Bonded EPDM (8mm) | Provides a watertight seal | Inspect for damage before installation |
Drill Capacity | Up to 1.6mm combined thickness | Self-drills through metal sheets | Avoid over-tightening to prevent washer deformation |
Head Style | Hex (8mm) | Compatible with drills and impact tools | Use low torque settings for precise control |
Compliance | CE marked, BS standards | Meets industry safety requirements | Suitable for professional and certified builds |
This table highlights essential factors to consider when selecting and using our Tek Screws, ensuring optimal performance for your roofing projects.
What are Sheet-to-Sheet Tek Screws used for?
These screws are specifically designed for fastening overlapping metal sheets in roofing and cladding systems, such as our corrugated profiles. They create secure, leakproof joints for applications such as sheds, agricultural buildings, and garages.
Do I need to pre-drill holes when using these screws?
No, the self-drilling 3-point tip allows them to penetrate metal sheets directly, saving time and effort during installation.
Are these screws suitable for all types of roofing sheets?
They work best with thin galvanised or coated steel sheets with a combined thickness of up to 1.6mm. For timber purlins or thicker materials, consider alternative fasteners from our range.
How many screws do I need for a typical roofing project?
It depends on the size and overlaps, but a general rule is one screw every 300-500mm along laps. A box of 100 covers approximately 20-30 square meters at standard spacing.
Can these screws be reused?
While they are durable, we recommend single-use for optimal sealing. Reusing may compromise the EPDM washer’s effectiveness against water.
What tools are required for installation?
A standard power drill or impact driver with an 8mm hex bit is sufficient. Magnetic nut setters can help with handling multiple screws efficiently.
How do these screws perform in harsh weather?
The corrosion-resistant coating and EPDM washer ensure they withstand rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations common in the UK, with an expected service life of over 15 years.
What are the recommended installation spacing guidelines?
This table helps customers plan screw placement for secure, weatherproof laps on corrugated roofing, reducing common issues like leaks or wind uplift.
| Application / Location | Recommended Spacing | Typical Number per Linear Metre of Lap | Notes / Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side laps (vertical overlaps) | Every 300–500 mm along the overlap | 2–3 screws per metre | Ensures tight seal on sheet edges; closer spacing (300 mm) for high-wind or exposed sites |
| End laps (horizontal overlaps) | Every 300–400 mm along the lap | 3–4 screws per metre | Critical for preventing water ingress at sheet joints; use sealant/tape alongside |
| Flashings / Ridge / Barge | Every 200–300 mm | 4–5 screws per metre | Higher frequency for smaller pieces to maintain alignment and weather resistance |
| General guideline for overlaps | 300 mm average spacing | 3 screws per metre (balanced) | Standard for most UK domestic/agricultural sheds/garages; adjust up for coastal/high-wind areas |
How many screws are in a box?
Each box contains 100 sheet-to-sheet Tek screws.
What is an EPDM washer and why does it matter?
An EPDM washer is a durable rubber seal bonded to the screw, providing long-term weather protection and preventing water ingress.
How are these roofing screws installed?
No pilot hole is required. Simply drive the screw through the overlapping metal sheets using a drill or impact driver. The self-drilling tip penetrates the steel while the EPDM washer forms a secure, watertight seal.
What’s the difference between these Tek screws and longer versions?
These screws have a 3-drill point and a shorter length, making them suitable for thin metal-to-metal overlaps up to 1.6 mm. Longer screws typically feature 4 or 5 drill points for steel purlins or wings for timber fixing.
Can these screws be used to fix roofing sheets to timber purlins?
No. These are sheet-to-sheet stitching screws only. Using them on timber will damage the drill point and provide little to no holding strength. For wooden applications, use our dedicated timber Tek screws designed for wood-to-sheet fixing.
Which length do roofers usually choose?
6.3 × 22 mm: This is the most commonly used size, suitable for standard 0.54 mm metal sheets. It’s ideal for routine roofing and cladding jobs where quick and secure fastening is required.
6.3 × 25 mm: This size works best when the metal sheets have thicker insulation or if you need greater thread engagement to boost security.
