GARDNER Screws are quality screws and made with strength in mind. Unlike generic fiber cement screws, the screw heads of GARDNER Screws are strengthened to withstand the over-drilling forces of the screw bit. Refer to the table to determine what type of GARDNER Screw to use based on the thickness of the GARDNER TPI fiber cement and the type of framing.
