Being in the building industry and now retired in Australia I have installed hundreds of metal roofing and we all install the screws in the top part of the sheeting the (RIB) NEVER IN THE FLAT PART OF THE SHEETING.

Suffering from the leaks of this type install right now.

That's a great idea & all ...but you're only offering a #10 @ 1.5" in length that I can see on your website. What about in a #12 @ 2" or whatever for those needing longer / larger fasteners?

I’m not as worried about UV rays damaging the washer as much as the metal does when the screw goes through. Look at the hole in the metal when you take a screw out, there is a little piece of metal (a burr) if you will that happens when starting the screw that just ruins the washer. I don’t do this for a living. I have just built several buildings on my property, and friends. I’m also the anal guy that just has to figure out why something fails. Especially when I am paying the bill. It may take me longer to do an exposed screw roof or wall , because first drill the metal, second De burr the hole Then put my screw in. my 30x30 building is going on 25 years and not one leak . I clean all my buildings roofs every year with a hotsie /low pressure. We also clean the gutters 3 /4 times(during fall leaf shedding) . My grandfather taught me to do the job right the first time, and to take care of your equipment. It costs more to Redo EVERYTHING and it also costs to much to replace/repair due to lack of maintenance.

10-4 We bought a metal roofed home in Nawth Florida and now I'm replacing the screws with larger diameter ones, IF I ever have to replace the roof I will go with the raised beam commercial type with NO exposed fasteners

SO, does the Wood Ultimate Fastener come in LARGER diameters to replace those original ones that won't tighten?

2:13 How can I get those REPLACEMENT washers???

The #14 screws DON'T use the thicker washer, WHERE can you purchase those thicker washers??

In America the panel manufactures say to install the screws in the flats 99% of the time, only 1% do they say you can install the screws on the ribs, 5V roofs are the only exception the screws are installed on the V. If you install the screws on the ribs the warranty will be void here.

Do these come in stainless?

Yes!

This is the type of screws that should be used for an exposed fastener system.

Without purchasing documents that may be difficult!

Why are you demonstrating roofing screwed down on the pans - an obvious faile - the ridges are present for a reason. Think, run off control lol...

For on, I would never install a exspode fastener roof on a house only snap lock. Those roofs are fine for a shed or barn. I don't care how well you put in a gromented screw, they fail in about 10 years.
