Description

What are 3.5 x 38mm Plasterboard Screws (1000 Pack) used for?

Plasterboard screws in this 1000-piece bulk format are the essential fixing for professional dryliners and builders. The 38mm length is the most versatile size in the UK market, perfectly suited for attaching standard 12.5mm or 15mm plasterboard sheets to timber studwork. This bulk pack ensures you have the volume needed for full-room boarding or multi-room renovations without the interruption of re-ordering.

Why Choose Black Phosphate for High-Volume Projects?

When driving hundreds of fixings a day, efficiency is key. These plasterboard screws feature a black phosphate coating which acts as a dry lubricant, significantly reducing friction as the screw enters the timber. This results in faster installation times and less strain on your power tools. Additionally, the phosphate layer provides a protective barrier against the moisture found in wet plaster and “green” timber, preventing rust spots from bleeding through your final paint finish.

Professional Precision and Flush Finish

At ECO HEAT SHOP, we understand that the quality of your finish depends on your fixings. These plasterboard screws utilize a bugle head design that creates a slight indentation in the board surface. This allows for a clean, flat finish once the joint filler or plaster skim is applied. The deep Phillips No. 2 drive recess ensures maximum torque transfer and minimizes “cam-out,” allowing for consistent, one-handed driving.

Technical Specification & Usage Tips

  • Product Name: Plasterboard Screws (1000 Pack)

  • Dimensions: 3.5mm (Diameter) x 38mm (Length)

  • Drive Type: Phillips No. 2 (PH2)

  • Material: Hardened Steel with Black Phosphate Finish

  • Standard Compliance: Ideal for all standard UK timber stud partitions.

  • Installation Advice: For the best results with these plasterboard screws, use a dedicated drywall screwdriver bit with a depth-stop. Aim to sink the head approximately 1mm below the paper surface—just enough for the plaster to cover, but not deep enough to break the board’s structural integrity.
