Screw for sparse panel

[Oskerien]

hello

I am going to install two layers of glespanel in a ceiling and I own a screw gun, so I thought about screwing the panels instead of nailing to make the process a bit smoother. However, I can't find wood screws on a strip anywhere, does anyone know if they are available or if it's just as good to use screws for gypsum or OSB boards?

I had used chipboard screws, they are available in collated form.

I would have used chipboard screws, they are available in strips.

They are probably a bit too short.

 

[Bernieberg]

Isn't it a bit too short.

Well, 55 mm might work well for 28 mm spacing. With regular wood screws, I usually use 60 mm.

 

[RoBo]

27 mm is not much of a hold. Even 60 is a bit weak, it also has to do with the distance between the beams/trusses.

 

[Bernieberg]

Yes, that's correct. I have been able to screw double screws with cc600. If it's longer than that, I agree it might be on the low side.

I used 55mm collated decking screws from Byggmax. Haven't fallen down yet...

27 mm is not much in terms of grip. Even 60 is a bit weak, it also has to do with the distance between the beams/rafters.

A rule of thumb for screw joints is that the length of the screw should be twice as long as the piece you are fastening. So 60 mm screws for 28 mm spacing is reasonable.

A rule of thumb for screw joints is that the screw's length should be twice as long as the piece being screwed on. So a 60 mm screw for 28 mm sparse is reasonable.

Or 55 mm if you sink the screw 0.5 mm below the surface

 

[sinuslinus]

Deck screws should hold better than drywall screws, but a low-speed screw gun will probably be needed.

A rule of thumb for screw joints is that the screw length should be twice as long as the piece being fastened. So a 60 mm screw for 28 mm spacing is reasonable.

Ok reasonable depending on the screw. Very different on how the threads are designed. Many screws don't have much pull at the tip. I don't think you should take a chance.

In as many places as possible, attach sparse panel 28x70 to the existing concrete ceiling CC1200mm, then place sparse in the "other direction" CC 300mm. The second layer of sparse cannot be fastened with screws longer than 56mm. Seriously, think about it, you can practically hang yourself on a screw and you're placing two screws per "attachment point."

Strapped chipboard screw 55 is what you need. Double the screws in each attachment so the glesen doesn't twist as easily. It stays put.

 

[Oskerien]

Band-edged chipboard screw 55 is what you should have. Double screws in each attachment so the framework doesn't twist as easily. It stays in place.

Thanks for all the answers! I would also believe that it will be just fine! The roof trusses are set with cc600mm. The first layer of framework with cc600 and the second with cc300. The screw gun can handle a maximum of 57mm so 55mm should be just fine

Thanks for all the answers! I would also think it's good enough! The trusses are placed at cc600mm. I set the first layer of lath with cc600 and the second with cc300. The screw gun can handle a maximum of 57mm, so 55mm will surely suffice nicely

Personally, I would spend a few extra bucks on better and longer screws, I think deck screws are too thin for lathing.
