Why choose zinc slash point screws for sheet to timber?
- Slash point design for quick pick-up into timber
- Reduces torque and helps prevent timber splitting
- Suitable for fixing sheet metal up to 0.8mm thick
- Hex head with EPDM washer for a secure seal
- Bright zinc plating for clean, dry internal environments
What are slash point screws for timber?
Slash point screws are designed for fixing thin sheet materials directly into timber without the need for pre-drilling. The single slash point cuts into the timber fibres quickly, improving installation speed while reducing the risk of splitting, especially near edges.
These screws are ideal for light-duty metal-to-wood fixing where a fast and reliable connection is needed.
Where are they used?
Slash point sheet to timber screws are commonly used for:
- Fixing thin sheet metal to timber structures
- Cladding and light roofing applications
- Sheeting, panels, and light construction work
- General site fixing where speed is important
Zinc vs exterior coated options
- Zinc screws: Best suited for internal use and low humidity environments
- Exterior coated screws: Provide enhanced corrosion resistance for outdoor and exposed applications
Zinc slash point screws are a cost-effective choice when working in dry conditions where corrosion is not a concern.
Available Sizes & Typical Applications
| Size | Head Type | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 6.3 x 25mm | Hex Head + EPDM Washer | Light sheet metal fixing to timber with minimal penetration |
| 6.3 x 32mm | Hex Head + EPDM Washer | General sheet to timber fixing |
| 6.3 x 45mm | Hex Head + EPDM Washer | Fixing through sheet into deeper timber sections |
| 6.3 x 60mm | Hex Head + EPDM Washer | Multi-layer fixing or thicker timber substrates |
| 6.3 x 80mm | Hex Head + EPDM Washer | Longer reach fixing where extra grip is required |
| 6.3 x 100mm | Hex Head + EPDM Washer | Deep penetration into timber for a secure hold |
Why use screws with EPDM washers?
Many sheet to timber screws are supplied with EPDM washers to help create a tight seal at the fixing point. When compressed during installation, the washer helps protect the hole around the screw and supports a more reliable finish.
- Helps reduce water penetration around the fixing point
- Supports a neater and more secure installation
- Useful for sheeting, cladding, and general fixing
- Maintains flexibility in changing temperatures
Choosing the right length
The correct screw length will depend on the thickness of the sheet material being fixed and the depth of timber penetration required. Shorter lengths are suited to lighter sheet fixing, while longer screws are better for thicker build-ups or where a stronger hold is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do slash point screws need a pilot hole?
No – the slash point is designed to cut into timber without pre-drilling, speeding up installation.
What thickness of metal can these screws fix?
They are suitable for sheet metal up to 0.8mm thick.
What does the EPDM washer do?
The EPDM washer helps create a tight seal, reducing the risk of water ingress around the fixing point.
Can zinc screws be used outside?
Zinc screws are best suited for internal use. For external applications, use exterior coated versions.
