Engineered for direct fastening of metal roofing sheets into light structural steel up to 5mm thick.

A great choice if you are looking to fix box profile or corrugated sheeting directly to cold-rolled steel purlins without pre-drilling. Built with a No. 3 drill point, an integrated 16mm EPDM washer, and a 500-hour salt-spray protective coating, these dependable fixings create an airtight, weather-tight seal across agricultural and commercial buildings.

Why Choose TIMCO Light Section Screws?

  • Rapid Direct Drilling: The precision No. 3 self-drilling tip with an 8mm point effortlessly cuts through cold-rolled steel purlins and light sections up to 5mm thick, cutting down installation time and eliminating the need for pilot holes.
  • Weathertight Compression Seal: Fitted with a vulcanised 16mm EPDM rubber washer that compresses uniformly against cladding profiles, stopping water ingress, draughts, and sheet corrosion around the fixing hole.
  • 500-Hour Salt-Spray Protection: Treated with an advanced silver organic exterior finish tested to withstand 500 hours of salt spray, offering reliable Class 3 corrosion resistance against rural damp, industrial fallout, and seasonal weathering.
  • Firm Non-Slip Drive: The flanged 8mm hexagonal head gives positive socket engagement with zero cam-out, ensuring fast, safe fixing from ladders or elevated work platforms.
  • Tight Vibration-Resistant Hold: Features a fully threaded 60-degree self-tapping profile that cuts clean threads into light gauge steel, drawing sheets tightly against framework to eliminate wind rattle.
