Teks Adds Standing Seam Roofing Screw for Metal Roofs

Teks has launched a standing-seam roofing screw designed for wood decking and framing in flanged and clip-based metal roofing systems. The fastener features a low-profile pancake head that sits flush and helps reduce panel dimpling. A sharp point enables faster starts in wood, and coarse threads provide holding power. The screw also uses a T25 star drive for improved bit engagement and reduced cam-out. For installers, the screw is intended for standing-seam applications where panel appearance and fastening performance both matter. In flanged systems, the low-profile head helps the fastener sit flush; in clip-based assemblies, it is designed for clip or attachment-point fastening on wood substrates commonly used in residential and light commercial projects.
