Collated screws

Collated screws are widely used on UK building sites for tasks that need repetitive fixing, especially where speed and consistency are important. Common applications include fixing plasterboard, timber, subflooring, and sheet materials to metal or wood framing. Supplied in strips or coils, they work with automatic screwdrivers to streamline installation and reduce downtime. This makes them a popular choice on high-volume jobs like drywall installation or timber framing.

Builders can choose from various collated screw types, including collated drywall screws with bugle heads and fine or coarse threads, depending on substrate. Other options include decking screws, flooring screws, and self-drilling types for light steel frames. Compared to loose screws, collated screws help maintain workflow efficiency and reduce waste, though they require compatible driving tools. Many products come with features like corrosion-resistant coatings or specific thread profiles to suit different site needs.
