Construction Screws

  • Construction Screws

Construction screws are structural-grade fasteners for industrial construction applications. They are available in a wide range of styles, including concrete, deck, drywall, and self-piercing options. Construction screws are different from general-purpose screws, typically featuring stronger cores, reinforced threading, and coatings for tough environments.

At RC Fastener, we distribute commercial construction screws for interior and exterior jobs. Our inventory includes deck screws, concrete screws, K-lath screws, self-piercing screws, particle board screws, trim screws, and more, with coating options including phosphate, zinc, and ceramics.

FAQs for Construction Screws

What Are Construction Screws?

Construction screws are heavy-duty fasteners used in framing and commercial infrastructural applications. They provide structural strength, strong pull-out resistance, and long service life. Construction screws are designed for industrial applications that demand more than general-purpose fasteners.

How Do Construction Screws Work?

Commercial construction screws are crafted from specialized materials and coatings that meet the demands of their intended applications. They are designed for superior performance in their intended applications, whether wood, metal, concrete, composites, or other materials.

When Should You Use Construction Screws?

Construction screws are used for a variety of construction applications, with specialized fasteners for concrete, wood, gypsum board, and metal substrates. Commercial construction screws are used for decking, wall framing, drywall installation, metal paneling, concrete block or brick anchoring, and more.

What Materials Are Best for Construction Screws?

  • Low-carbon steel: Cost-effective option for general framing and interior use.
  • Hardened steel: Provides higher shear resistance for structural loads.
  • Stainless steel: Ideal for exterior use and moisture-prone environments.
  • Coated steel: Available with phosphate, zinc CR+3, zinc-yellow, or ceramic coatings. These finishes improve rust protection and extend service life in outdoor or treated lumber applications.

Construction Screw Options From RC Fastener

Deck Screws

Deck screws are designed for fastening decking boards and other exterior wood structures. They provide strong holding power year-round. RC Fasteners supplies deck screws with Phillips or square drive, bugle heads, and options in dacrotized, phosphate, and zinc-yellow finishes.

Concrete Screws

Concrete screws are used to fasten components into concrete, block, or masonry. Their hardened threads cut into the base material for a strong hold without using anchors. We carry concrete screws in blue-finish, low-carbon steel and Tapking SD styles, approved for Miami-Dade applications.

K-Lath Screws

K-lath screws are used to secure metal lath to steel framing in plaster and stucco surfaces. The modified truss head provides broad bearing support, while the sharp point allows quick penetration. At RC Fastener, we supply K-lath screws in zinc CR+3 finishes.

Particle Board Screws

Particle board screws are designed for composites and wood-like materials. Their thread design improves pull-out strength and reduces splitting. We carry particle board screws in flat head styles with Phillips or square drive, available in hardened steel with black phosphate or zinc CR+3 finishes.

Self-Piercing Screws

Self-piercing screws are used to fasten thin metal without pre-drilling. The point design allows fast installation and consistent thread engagement. We supply self-piercing screws with hex washer heads in low carbon steel and zinc CR+3 finishes.

Trim Screws

Trim screws are used for finish carpentry applications that require a clean appearance. The small head helps reduce surface marking and patching. Our trim screws are available in plain steel.
