The Role of Drywall Screws in Construction
During a new construction project or a remodeling activity, the selection of drywall screws used to attach gypsom boards is one of those considerations that is unfortunately overlooked. During a recent visit to Tangshan Jiaheng Technology Co., Ltd, I found their specialized fasteners for gypsum boards quite impressive. Using too few or too many screws results in improper balance and poor long-term stability of walls, but in fact, using the right amount of screws increases productivity in construction work. With the exception of certain areas, drywall screws stay intact for longer than ordinary screws due to better resistance to rust and better pull-out strength retention.
An example was provided to me by the supervising contractor from a prestigious finished office building in Beijing. “Last year we ran into quite a difficult challenge. The construction team used standard screws to secure gypsum boards. Within a few months, we started noticing some wall cracks and several screws were visibly protruding. After switching to Jiaheng Tech’s phosphated Drywall Screws, the sip installation flow significantly improved and so far, through two heating seasons, the walls have not developed any cracks.” This example emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate Drywall Screws for the success of any drywall construction project.
Four Important Features of Professional Drywall Screws
Just like every other family of screws, drywall screws have unique characteristics too. A rule of thumb arises with Drywalls and Screws. For example, the method of screw threads used. Here at Jiaheng Tech, Double thread technology is implemented to enhance ease of manipulation of screws. Critical together with that is Rust proof treatment. Through phosphonating or galvanizing processes, drywall screws are treated so they do not rust even in humid environments. Lastare are the precise head Drywall Screws Designed. These screws help improve the performance of the power tools used while reducing damage to the boards.
“Wang, tell us more about the results.” As outlined, “We tested everything in comparison.” With those tests, the time savings incurred with the screws were quite significant. The performance has improved and the walls are less fragile. This is part of the reason why there is a lot of preference for drywall screw options in modern renovation work.
How Innovations Of Drywall Screws Are Changing The Industry
This type of renovation techniques evolve with drywall screws. Jiaheng Technology Co. Ltd. recently developed self-tapping drywall screws made from specific alloys designed with optimal thread angles. These self-tapping screws can now fasten light steel studs without the need for pre-drilling holes which significantly increases productivity. Follow-up drywall screws have been helpful during one of the major commercial complex projects in Shenzhen, allowing the construction team to complete all partition work two weeks ahead of schedule.
As Project Technical Director Chen explains, ‘The previous method employing screws required pre-drilling holes. The Drywall Screws substitution eliminates this step altogether. Apart from man hour savings, the new approach conserves nearly 15% of material per square meter.” In just a few years, the development of drywall screws was able to transform a construction accessory from its simplistic roots to complex, high-tech systems that continue to mark Jiaheng Tech’s spearheading innovations in the sector.
