    Gypsum screws are specially designed fasteners used for attaching gypsum boards (drywall) to metal or wooden studs during construction. These screws are crucial in providing a secure and stable foundation for the drywall installation. Here’s a concise yet detailed guide on how to use gypsum screws effectively:


    Steps to Use Gypsum Screws

    1. Choose the Right Screws:

      • For Metal Studs: Use self-drilling gypsum screws (usually with a sharp tip for easy penetration into metal).

      • For Wooden Studs: Opt for wood gypsum screws, which typically have a sharp, pointed end.

      • The screw length depends on the thickness of the drywall and the studs (generally, 1″ to 1.5″ screws for 12.5mm drywall).

    2. Prepare the Surface:

      • Ensure that the gypsum board is cut to the required size, with edges flush against the studs.

      • Mark the placement of the screws (typically spaced 12 to 16 inches apart along the studs).

    3. Position the Gypsum Board:

      • Hold the gypsum board firmly against the wall studs, ensuring it is level and aligned.

      • Use a drywall lifter if the board is large, or have someone assist you for proper positioning.

    4. Drive the Screws:

      • Use a drill with a screwdriver attachment or a dedicated drywall screw gun.

      • Start driving the gypsum screws at a slight angle into the studs, about 1/4 inch (6mm) from the board edge.

      • Ensure that the screw head is slightly recessed into the board (not protruding), but avoid driving it too deep, as this can damage the drywall.

    5. Spacing:

      • Screws should be placed along the edges (around 1 inch from the board’s edge) and in the center of the board (usually every 12–16 inches).

      • Be careful not to overtighten, which can cause the drywall to break.

    6. Check the Alignment:

      • After driving in the screws, check that they are all aligned properly and slightly recessed to avoid bulging once the joint compound is applied.


    Key Tips:

    • Use the correct drill speed: A slower drill speed minimizes the risk of overdriving the screw.

    • Avoid excessive pressure: Let the screw gun or drill do the work; too much pressure can damage the drywall.

    • Avoid rusting: For areas with high humidity (like bathrooms), use corrosion-resistant screws to prevent rust.


    Applications:

    • Drywall installation: Mounting drywall sheets to metal or wooden studs.

    • Ceiling mounting: Securing gypsum boards to ceiling joists or studs.

    • Wall cladding: Installing drywall for partition walls in interior construction.

  • Get 1 to 10 boxes with variation of 3.5*2 or 3.5*1and half.
