Description

What are 4.8 x 100mm Drywall Screws used for?

Drywall screws of this length are specialized fixings used primarily in the construction of high-performance partitions and ceilings. While standard screws are usually 32mm or 42mm, the 100mm drywall screws are essential when fixing multiple layers of fire-rated or soundproof plasterboard (double-boarding) or when attaching boards through thick PIR insulation boards into the underlying timber rafters or studs.

Why Choose a Black Phosphate Coating?

The distinctive black finish on these drywall screws is a phosphate coating. This chemical treatment serves two critical purposes: first, it acts as a dry lubricant, allowing the screw to be driven at high speeds with less friction and heat buildup. Second, it provides a superior “key” for plaster and paint, while offering significantly better corrosion resistance than standard bright zinc screws when exposed to the moisture present in wet plastering processes.

Precision Engineering for a Flush Finish

At ECO HEAT SHOP, we provide fixings that ensure a professional-grade result. These drywall screws feature a sharp needle point for an immediate start without a pilot hole and a deep Phillips No. 2 drive to minimize cam-out. The bugle head is specifically engineered to depress the plasterboard surface just enough to allow for a smooth layer of joint filler or “skimming,” ensuring no screw heads are visible after the final decorate.

Technical Specification & Usage Tips

  • Keyword Product Name: Drywall Screws

  • Size: 4.8mm x 100mm (Gauge x Length)

  • Drive Type: Phillips No. 2 (PH2)

  • Material: Hardened Steel

  • Finish: Black Phosphate

  • Usage Tip: When using 100mm drywall screws, ensure your drill/driver clutch is set correctly. The goal is to drive the bugle head slightly below the surface of the paper without breaking it. A broken paper surface significantly reduces the holding power of the screw.
