50mm screws

50mm screws are widely used across first and second fix applications, particularly where reliable medium-length fixings are needed for timber, board materials or light framing. They’re often specified for internal partition walls, door frames, sub-flooring and basic studwork. Their size provides a balance between strength and depth, reducing the risk of over-penetration in thinner materials. You’ll find 50mm screws suitable for hand-driving or use with impact drivers, in finishes designed for dry or mildly damp environments.

Available types include general-purpose 50mm wood screws and task-specific options such as 50mm drywall screws, which feature fine threads and bugle heads for clean board fixing. Modern designs often come with self-countersinking heads, corrosion-resistant coatings or thread profiles engineered for fast start and low torque drive. Compared with shorter or longer screws, 50mm fixings offer a more versatile mid-point, often replacing older fixings that required pre-drilling or additional plugs.
