Strong-Point Cement Board Screws

What Are Cement Board Screws?

Cement board screws are specialized fasteners designed to attach cement boards to wood or metal studs in demanding construction applications. Unlike ordinary screws that often snap or corrode, cement board screws feature hardened steel construction, sharp points, and aggressive thread patterns that penetrate dense materials like cement board, gypsum, and composite sheathing without cracking or crumbling. Their corrosion-resistant coatings make them suitable for both wet and dry environments, ensuring they hold strong even when exposed to moisture.

Strong-Point® cement board screws are trusted by contractors for projects that demand durability, such as tile backer board installations in bathrooms, cement siding, flooring underlayment, and exterior cladding. Available in a wide range of lengths, diameters, and finishes, these screws deliver secure fastening that stands up to the toughest conditions.

South Coast Fasteners, Inc. supplies Strong-Point® cement board screws in all the sizes and protective coatings you need to keep jobs moving with confidence.

Key Features of Cement Board Screws

Corrosion-Resistant Coating

Cement board screws are coated with advanced finishes, such as ceramic or zinc plating, to resist rust and moisture damage. This makes them indispensable in wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, or exterior walls, where exposure to humidity is unavoidable.

Sharp Point for Easy Penetration

The sharp points and aggressive threads of Strong-Point® cement board screws cut quickly into hard surfaces like tile backer or cement sheathing. They reduce installation time by eliminating pre-drilling in most cases while preventing cracks or breaks in the material.

Flat, Self-Countersinking Head

These screws are designed with flat, self-countersinking heads that sit flush with the board surface. This allows for clean finishes that prevent damage to the board and make it easier to layer tile, siding, or flooring over the cement board.

High Tensile Strength

Made from hardened steel, cement board screws provide the strength to withstand heavy loads and high-torque driving. Once installed, they lock boards firmly in place, creating reliable connections that stand up to long-term use.

Anti-Corrosion Durability

In wet or outdoor installations, anti-corrosion protection ensures the fasteners hold up over time. This durability provides peace of mind for contractors who need installations to last for decades without failures.

Applications of Cement Board Screws

Tile Backer Installation

Cement board screws are widely used to secure tile backer boards in bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture-prone spaces. They create a solid surface that supports tile adhesion and resists sagging or shifting over time.

Exterior Siding

For cement board siding, these screws provide the fastening strength and weather resistance needed to keep cladding attached securely to homes and buildings. Their corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term performance in all climates.

Shower and Wet Area Walls

Showers and wet-area walls require fasteners that won’t rust or weaken when exposed to water. Cement board screws hold panels securely in place, maintaining the integrity of the water-resistant barrier behind the tile.

Fire-Resistant Walls

Cement board is often chosen for fire-resistant construction around fireplaces or in commercial builds. Strong-Point® cement board screws provide the holding power required to keep boards fixed in place under these critical conditions.

Underlayment for Flooring

When used beneath tile or stone floors, cement board creates a rigid, water-resistant base. Cement board screws secure the underlayment to the subfloor, ensuring it doesn’t shift or loosen under daily foot traffic.

Partition Walls and Cladding

For interior partitions or cladding systems, cement board screws provide dependable fastening to wood or metal framing, delivering both strength and dimensional stability.

Industries That Rely on Cement Board Screws

Construction

Builders and contractors rely on cement board screws for exterior siding, wall assemblies, and flooring underlayment. Their strength and moisture resistance make them standard in both residential and commercial builds.

Tile and Flooring Installation

Tile professionals use cement board screws to secure backer boards as the foundation for tile or stone. Their ability to maintain a rigid, water-resistant base ensures long-lasting floors and walls.

Exterior Cladding

Cladding contractors depend on cement board screws for attaching durable cement panels to wood or metal framing. Their resistance to rust and weathering ensures stable performance outdoors.

Fireproofing and Safety

Cement board is used in fire-rated construction for added safety. Cement board screws provide the reliability needed to keep boards in place where fire protection is critical.
