Application

Cement board screws are specifically designed for use with cement backer boards, which are often used as a base layer for tiling projects in areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. These screws are engineered to handle the dense, brittle nature of cement boards while providing strong, long-lasting connections. Here's how they're applied:

  • Tile Underlayment: Used to securely attach cement boards to wooden or metal framing, creating a stable and moisture-resistant surface for tiling.
  • Countertops: Ideal for securing cement boards to countertops before applying tiles or other finishing materials.
  • Flooring: Provide a strong bond between the cement board and the subfloor to prevent movement and cracking in tiled floors.
  • Shower and Tub Walls: Help fasten cement boards to create a solid, moisture-resistant foundation for tile installations in wet areas.

Cement board screws typically have corrosion-resistant coatings and self-drilling or self-countersinking capabilities, ensuring easy installation and durability in challenging environments.
