Needlepoint copper-plated screws are made from stainless steel and have a copper coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. Like copper, they will develop an attractive patina over time, but they are stronger than pure copper and will not snap or break.
Copper-coated screws come in many different types and sizes to provide all the functional and aesthetic benefits that you are looking for.
These fasteners have a coarser pitch — and that means fewer threads per inch, compared to sheet metal or machine screws. Typically, copper metal roofing screws have an unthreaded shank, which allows the top piece of the wood to be pulled flush against the lower piece without being caught on the threads. Your copper screws supplier should also have available copper wood screws that are tapered from tip to head.
In contrast, sheet metal screws, which can be used in wood, are usually threaded all the way to their head. They are self-tapping. Some sheet metal screws require a pre-drilled hole, while other screws have self-tapping tips.
Copper-plated ZIP screws are an excellent option for copper gutter and downspout installations. ZIP screws, also known as self-piercing screws, have a sharp point that creates its own hole as a screw is driven into a material.
The shank of a copper-plated ZIP screw is threaded from the head to the tip. The threads are also sharp, so they cut through the material quickly. Once the initial thread cuts through the material, a second thread forms to the tip to help drill the screw in faster. With their fast-driving abilities, copper-plated ZIP screws can be used for fastening heavier pieces of sheet metal quickly and easily.
Because of their sharp tip, you may not need to pre-drill a hole for these fasteners. Copper ZIP screws are also very versatile and can cut into wood, plastic or metal. Many are also magnetic, allowing you to use them with a magnetic driver.
