What is the name of the screw I need?

[andreascarlsson]

I have installed 45mm wooden studs in metal tracks, and now I want to secure the studs in place.
Last time I did this, I skipped it, and the wall became stable when I mounted MDF and drywall on the studs. But now we're working with the studs before the walls go up, and I feel like I want to secure them a bit better. The tape I'm using now won't last long...
I think you need countersunk heads that are also very small, otherwise, the heads will be in the way of the walls later.
It also needs to be screws that grip the metal.

What type of screws do I need? 🤔

Mounting screw?

Assembly screw with low head is nice. But it's probably not that important, could probably nail with it.

Edit:
Looks like a basement, tip then to switch to steel studs to remove organic material from the new wall.

Normal mounting screw, but you can also use drywall screws which are countersunk. There will be a small bump but nothing visible later. Otherwise, you could pre-drill and use a roofing nail, but that's not entirely normal...

Also, building wood into an external wall below ground isn't great... steel studs and foam insulation are a better choice. Then I hope you mean OSB and not MDF behind the drywall?

I have set up 45mm wooden studs in metal tracks, and now want to secure the studs so they stay in place. Last time I did this, I skipped that step; the wall became stable when I put up MDF and plasterboard on the studs. But now we're going to adjust the studs before the walls are in place, and I feel like I want to secure them a little better. The tape I'm using now won't go far... I'm thinking you need countersunk heads that are also very small, otherwise, the heads will be in the way for the walls later. It also needs to be screws that bite into the metal.

What kind of screw do you need? 🤔

Self-tapping screws have a flat head. Another thing, make sure you have a good air gap between the stud and the outer wall. In basements, it is better to only use metal studs and not organic materials since you have moisture intrusion.

Sheet metal screw with a low head. Builds like a nail head. They are for attaching sheet metal to sheet metal and don't hold very well in the wooden stud, but it might be enough for you.
I think I've also seen the name lättmontageskruv.

Thanks for all the answers! 👍
(Yes, there is air space between the inner wall and the outer wall)

ordinary drywall screw for wood works

Nah, I would argue that it doesn't go through the metal stud.
Have now bought sheet metal screws with minimal heads.

Nah, it doesn't penetrate through the sheet metal rule I would argue.
Have bought sheet metal screws now with a minimal head.

it works on regular sheet metal rules try
