What is the difference between Chipboard Screws and Drywall Gypsum Screws?

JIAXING RUNYEE METAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD shares production knowledge. 

Drywall Screws

Also known as framing screws. Drywall screws go through the wall material without damaging it. 

The shape of the bugle head is its biggest feature and also ensures a secure connection. 

You can use drywall screws to fasten wall to metal or wood. These screws have a Phillips head. 

Most drywall screws have coarse threads and are mainly used for installation of various plasterboard, lightweight partition board and dropped ceiling series.

Chipboard Screws

Chipboard screw undergo a heat treatment process in the production process, and are mainly used for the connection and fastening between wooden boards, between wooden boards and thin steel plates.

The grooves of chipboard screws are usually asymmetrical for better resistance to pull-out. 

They also usually have thinner shafts that allow you to screw them into the material you need more efficiently.

Plasterboard screws are used especially for the installation of plasterboard due to their deeper threads which prevent them from removing easily. 

Typically made from carbon steel, drywall screws provide a flush finish when fixing plasterboard to framing, thanks to a countersunk head.

The main difference between woodscrews and chipboard screws lies in the threads which, on a chipboard screw, run all the way along the screw's length to the underside of the head. 

This makes chipboard screws particularly useful where an extra-strong hold is required, such as when installing garden decking.
