Screw for mounting treetex?

[jokamp]

We are going to put up some treetex/porous board panels on the walls in a room. And yes, it's decided that these panels will be used and nothing else

Previously, they were put up with paper nails, but the question is whether there's a suitable screw that could be used? Particle board screws?

It feels easier to screw and safer since there isn't much material behind for the nails to hold onto. It's a repeated wall with OSB that the panels will be attached to.

I would have used a regular wood screw or drywall screw. The particle board screw risks being pulled into the soft board and fastening poorly.

There are probably no screws that are directly suitable since the boards are so soft. Maybe a mounting adhesive could be better? Otherwise, I might try a screw with a flat underside instead of countersunk. You can easily pull it in so it goes below the surface anyway.

Bracket model coarser, holds like a rock! It is also great for OSB.

I believe in drywall screws. They usually have a head as large as drywall nails. Chipboard screws typically have a slightly smaller, more conical, and grooved head to be more easily countersunk into the hard chipboard. This should not be a problem with treetex. There shouldn't be any substantial loads on the boards. I doubt that the choice is critical.

Mounting screw has a large and flat head.

Roofing nails every day of the week.

Depending on how stable/flexible the OSB board is, it can be difficult to attach if you don't have a roofing stapler, but yes, the roofing nails are good

Glue if you want it flat
Screws or nails create dents in the surface

Felt nails have been used for 50 years. What is the difference today?

I have screwed back some tretex boards that were taken down for various wiring in the wall.

Drywall screws work perfectly for this!
