When working with timber, the primary challenge is ensuring a deep, secure bite that can withstand wind uplift while allowing the polycarbonate to breathe. These 50mm screws are designed with a sharp, deep-thread profile that grips firmly into softwood and hardwood rafters alike. The 14-gauge thickness provides the lateral strength required to hold the high-profile crests of the EZ GLAZE system securely in place, even in exposed or coastal locations.
The standout feature of this fixing is the 26mm EPDM-backed washer. Because polycarbonate expands and contracts significantly more than timber, a standard screw would eventually cause the sheet to crack or the hole to leak. The oversized 26mm washer distributes the clamping pressure over a wider surface area of the crest, while the integrated high-grade rubber gasket creates a permanent, flexible seal. This ensures that as the temperature changes, your roof remains rattle-free and 100% watertight.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Optimised for Timber: Deep-thread design ensures maximum pull-out resistance in all common construction timbers.
-
Large 26mm Washer: Specifically sized for the EZ GLAZE profile to prevent “pull-through” and protect against high wind loads.
-
Weatherproof Compression Seal: The EPDM backing provides a UV-resistant barrier that prevents water ingress at the fixing point.
-
Crest-Fixing Security: The 50mm length is ideal for securing the panels through the high point of the corrugation into the rafter below.
-
Easy Driving: Features a hex-head design for maximum torque transfer and reduced “cam-out” during installation.
