Through more than one hundred lines of its Unifix drywall screws, Owlett-Jaton offers an extensive range of collated fasteners, encompassing various diameters and lengths, head styles, finishes, thread types, ends and packaging.

Specifically designed to be compatible with auto-feed screw guns and enable fast and efficient installation, the range of collated drywall screws includes fine thread, coarse thread and self-drilling options. Owlett-Jaton underlines the importance of choosing the correct thread type for the application material, as using the incorrect thread type may result in time-consuming and costly damage to both the fastener and the material during use. 

For instance, coarse thread drywall screws are ideal for fixing plasterboard sheets to timber studs, often found in domestic applications. The sharp point penetrates the timber, enabling the coarse thread to cut into the timber, producing a very effective result. Fine thread drywall screws are developed specifically for light gauge metal tracks, or studs, typically found in commercial and industrial properties. The sharp point is designed to pierce the sheet metal, thus removing the need for a pilot hole, as well as enable the fine thread to cut into the material and produce a strong grip.

Finally, self-drilling drywall screws incorporate a tip that is designed to penetrate a heavier gauge of metal stud work or tracking, up to 2mm depth, to eliminate the need for a pilot hole. The thread then actively engages with the metal surface, giving a secure finish.
