If the wrong type or length of drywall screw is used visible dimples, pops and\/or seams can begin to quickly show in your finished walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This said the short answer to your question is that coarse thread drywall screws are used for wood stud applications and fine thread drywall screws are used for metal stud applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Drywall screws were initially developed for commercial interior wall construction. They were used for hanging drywall on metal studs and were sold with fine threads. The residential building market eventually switched from using drywall nails to drywall screws to speed up the drywall installation process.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00004W5PY\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00004W5PY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=ccd47e8fd2334bee57943f18bb00c9c7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B00004W5PY&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00004W5PY\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, drywall screws offer much stronger pull strengths and as a result do a better job of holding drywall. However with wood studs being the norm in residential construction, coarse thread drywall screws were required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Drywall screws are unique in features and thus are specially designed for drywall applications. Consequently they should not be substituted with deck screws or other types of screws when hanging drywall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Drywall screws are manufactured out of case hardened steel. In addition, they have bugle shaped Philips heads and piercing tips that are specifically designed to attach drywall to wood and metal studs, while not damaging the drywall in the process. Drywall screws are normally coated in a black phosphate finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In terms of the length of drywall screw to use, 1-1\/4\u201d long drywall screws should be used with \u00bd\u201d thick drywall and 1-5\/8\u201d long drywall screws should be used for 5\/8\u201d thick drywall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So make sure you use the right drywall screws when <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/drywall\/drywall-installation\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">hanging drywall<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Also, consider purchasing a drywall screw gun. Drywall screw guns can dramatically speed up the process of hanging drywall. In addition, they have adjustable torque sensitive clutches to control the depth of the drywall screw so that you do not break the paper surface of the drywall when installing the drywall screw.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8566\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Drywall_Screws-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Fine and Coarse Thread Drywall Screws\" width=\"279\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Drywall_Screws-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Drywall_Screws.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Over-screwing the drywall screw and breaking the face paper on the drywall weakens the fastener and typically leads to visible dimples and seams.
