The finish and strength of your walls depend on the quality of the screws used to attach the plasterboard. Find out how Sinsun screws prevent problems like popping, rust stains, and poor grip.
The screw is often the most important part of a smooth, long-lasting, and professional drywall installation that many people often forget about. Poor-quality drywall screws can cause frustrating callbacks, such as "popped" screw heads, rust stains bleeding through paint, or screws that do not hold as well and weaken the wall. Fasteners designed by Sinsun aren't mass-produced, but rather carefully engineered systems that work quickly, reliably, and leave a perfect finish.For builders and contractors, this means fewer mistakes, faster project completion, and happier customers.

Type of Thread
● Coarse Thread (W-Type): Use drywall screws with coarse threads when working with wood. The wide space between the threads provides thwith em the best grip and bite in wood.
● If you are working with thin metal, use drywall screws with fine threads. The closer thread pitch is designed to grip and hold thin metal tightly.
Coatings for the surface and protection from rust
● Black Phosphate is the best choice for dry places inside.
● The yellow zinc and zinc are good for places that are damp, like kitchens and basements, or where you need something that won't rust.
● You can get it at Phillips (PH) or Pozidriv (PZ). When you drive with a lot of torque, PZ engages the bit better and has less cam-out.
● This product meets the needs of the industry as well as ASTM C954 and ISO 1478 standards.

Plasterboard Screws for Metal Studs
You want to install plasterboard walls in a modern office building. We use 0.6mm C-shaped steel studs to frame the building.
It's a problem when coarse-thread screws strip thin metal, making the connection weak and allowing the board to move.This makes the wall weak, and over time you can see it sagging and screws that "pop out" as the loose connection moves.The Sinsun Solution: We have fine-thread plasterboard screws that are specifically designed for metal studs.Threads with a tighter pitch (25 threads per inch) hold more tightly in the thin steel flange, making it harder to remove. You don't have to drill holes ahead of time because the tips of our screws drill themselves. They also have a yellow zinc coating that prevents rust from forming on finished walls. Partition walls are strong, durable, and meet building codes because they are constructed using this method. -
Best Screws for Plasterboard
A project manager is acquiring fasteners for a residential project that will include wood and metal framing.
It is detrimental to the performance of a screw-to-fit-all method, resulting in screws popping out, rust stains appearing, and an insufficient holding power.
The Sinsun Solution: The "best" screw depends on how it is intended to be used. We assist professionals in finding the most suitable range for their needs:
When installing wood studs, use Sinsun #8 x 1-5/8" coarse-thread screws. The deep, wide threads provide the best grip and hold on wood.
For metal studs, use Sinsun #7 x 1-1/4" fine-thread screws – the fine pitch and sharp point are designed to make steel stronger and faster.
For critical hold applications, our #8 and #10 gauge screws have stronger shanks and can support more weight at high-stress points.

Butterfly Screws for Plasterboard
When mounting a heavy shelf, cabinet, or large mirror on a finished drywall wall, there may not be a stud behind the mounting location.
The problem: standard screws cannot grip anything in the hollow cavity, so they pull out immediately. Plastic anchors often break when they are under a lot of weight or vibration.The Sinsun Solution: Our butterfly screw (toggle bolt) system is designed to securely attach to hollow walls. When you put the spring-loaded metal wings through a hole that has already been drilled, they open up behind the plasterboard. This spreads the weight over a large area on the back of the panel. They are made of hardened steel and have a zinc coating. Depending on their size, anchors can hold between 20 and 50 kgs.Consequently, they are perfect for mounting furniture and fixtures securely. -
Plasterboard Screws for TV
Home and office AV installations often involve mounting flat-screen TVs on plasterboard walls.
The challenge: TV mounts create a long lever arm, exerting significant pull-out and shear force on the fixings. Mounting must be absolutely secure to prevent the TV from tearing out of the wall, which poses a safety hazard and risks expensive damage.Sinsun's Safety Solution consists of two parts:TV mount brackets should be attached directly to studs on the wall by using long, coarse-thread screws (e.g., #10 x 3").Second, for additional stability points that fall between studs, use our heavy-duty butterfly screws or cavity anchors rated for the dynamic load. In addition to being rigid and vibration-resistant, this combination ensures that the mount is completely secure for the duration of the installation.

Nam Long Construction Co., Ltd. From Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City
In the past, the biggest problem we had with using generic screws from other brands was that the screw heads were easy to overtighten or undertighten, which damaged the drywall or didn't hold it in place well enough. Later on, this caused cracks in the walls. The increase in costs was caused by the need for more workers, which led to wasted materials and higher repair costs.
For the Hanoi New City residential project, we switched entirely to Sinsun's Plasterboard Wall Screws six months ago. When workers use electric screwdrivers to mount these screws, they will achieve a flush-mounted result without tearing the surface due to the dual-thread design and precise countersink angle.This makes the installation process significantly easier to perform and reduces material waste. Consequently, our first-pass yield of drywall installation has increased by approximately 30%, and overall costs have decreased.

SpeedReno Sdn Bhd ,Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
We are frequently hired to renovate large apartment buildings that require extensive work. The primary issue we had was that installing loose screws in the traditional method was not very efficient. It was hard work for workers to get screws by hand, which slowed down progress.
We introduced Sinsun's CollaPro series strip-fed screws and the matching automatic screw gun to fix this issue. Sinsun's strip-fed strips are extremely strong and won't spill, so feeding them is easy. Now, one worker can cover 2.5 times more gypsum board area in a day than before. The screws cost a little more per unit, but we figured that the savings in time and labor were worth the additional expense, giving us an advantage in bidding.

Our most annoying problem is drill bit slippage. This not only breaks expensive screws, but it also takes a lot of time to remove the broken ones, which means you have to change bits several times a day.
We later tried out Sinsun's PowerFit Magnetic Drill Bit Set, which we purchased all at once. The carbon steel it is made of is harder and has stronger magnetic properties that hold screws tightly. The shape of this tool fits Sinsun screw heads perfectly. Now, a single drill bit will last a week or more without stripping. Workers say, "The tools feel good in our hands, and we get the job done faster, which has improved our reputation and our ability to take on more orders."

We are experts in designing high-end lofts and industrial spaces. One of the problems we had was that when clients asked for exposed screws as design elements, the standard silver screws detracted from the dark-toned look of the whole thing. We tried spray painting them, but the paint wore off too easily, making them look cheap and unprofessional.
We chose Sinsun's matte black finish screws for our client's restaurant project, "The Foundry." Their black coating is electroplated, which makes it very even and long-lasting. It won't chip even when a power drill scrapes it during installation. The black screws fit in perfectly with the dark steel panels and concrete walls, making them a key part of the design. Our client was very happy with this detail. We learned from this experience that having professional-grade accessories is a big advantage in design.

"Our company installs TVs, wall cabinets, and heavy shelves on finished drywall for customers." The biggest problem and risk is that standard plastic expansion anchors cannot hold enough weight and are not very reliable. If an installation fails and things fall, we could get sued for a lot of money and hurt our reputation.
With Sinsun's Heavy-Duty Anchor Screw Kit, we now have a standard. With its metal expansion mechanism and nylon sleeve, it can hold more than 50 kg at a single point. It comes with a variety of drill bits and installation tools. We do simple load tests in front of clients, which makes them trust us right away. Since we started using Sinsun anchors, we haven't had any customer complaints, and our repeat business and referrals have gone through the roof.
Q: What is a "plasterboard wall anchor," and when is it appropriate to use one?
+
A: A plasterboard wall anchor is a general term for any fastening mechanism designed to support weight in brittle or hollow wallboard. When mounting an object, such as a TV bracket, shelf, or cabinet, to a plasterboard wall without a solid stud behind it, you should use one. The way they operate is by distributing the weight behind the board. Cavity anchors, spring toggles, and toggle bolts are common varieties.
Q: Are "plasterboard screws" and "drywall screws" the same thing?
+
A: Yes, for all intents and purposes, they are the same thing. People often use the words "drywall screws" and "plasterboard screws" to mean the same thing. They are both types of screws with bugle heads and fine or coarse threads that are used to attach gypsum board (drywall/plasterboard) to wooden or metal studs. Choosing the right thread type for your framing is very important. Use fine thread for metal and coarse thread for wood.
Q: Do kits that say "plasterboard screws and plugs" have all the parts needed for a secure fix?
+
A: Yes, they do, but be sure to check. A good plasterboard screws and plugs kit should have screws that are long enough to fully engage the plug mechanism and a plug type that works with hollow walls, not solid masonry. The size of the screw should match the size of the plug.For heavy-duty jobs, it's often better to purchase anchors and screws separately, depending on the load.
The benefits of using "metal wall plugs for plasterboard" instead of plastic ones?
The benefits of using "metal wall plugs for plasterboard" instead of plastic ones include a much higher weight capacity and longer lifespan. The metal sleeve is less prone to cracking or changing shape over time, particularly when it is under constant or vibrating loads. TV brackets, heavy shelving, or kitchen cabinets should be attached to plasterboard with metal wall plugs, as they provide a more stable and long-lasting fix.
Q: Is it okay to use regular wall plugs, like those for brick, in plasterboard?
+
A: No, regular wall plugs for solid masonry won't work in plasterboard. Plasterboard wall plugs, which are also known as cavity anchors or molly bolts, are specifically designed for use in hollow spaces. As you tighten the screw, the sleeve behind the board expands or collapses, creating a much larger bearing surface than the hole. Putting a brick plug in plasterboard will make it almost impossible to hold.
Q: What are the best wall plugs for plasterboard that can hold heavy things?
+
A: The "best" kind depends on how heavy it is and how easy it is to access. When it comes to heavy loads, such as big TVs or heavy shelves, metal toggle bolts or spring toggles are often considered the strongest wall plugs for plasterboard. This is because their wings distribute the load over a large area behind the board. Self-drilling plastic cavity anchors with metal sleeves are a good choice for medium loads that need to be easy to remove. They are strong and easy to use.
Q: How do I correctly put in a "Screw in Plasterboard Plugs"?
+
A: The installation process varies for each type. For a common plug for plasterboard that you can drill yourself: 1) Make a pilot hole of the right size. 2) Insert the plug. 3) Use a screwdriver to screw the built-in plug into the board until the head is level with the board. This makes the back of the plug bigger. 4) Remove the screw, put your fixture in place, and then drive the screw back in to hold it in place. Don't tighten too much, or you could strip the material. Always do what the maker says to do with that plug.
