We provide the reliability and innovation required to meet the evolving needs of the international B2B market.
- Global Reach & Scale: Serving over 25 countries with a production capacity of 2,500 metric tons per month, ensuring consistent supply for high-volume orders.
- Innovation & Patents: Our in-house R&D team holds 18+ patents and has developed over 100 customized designs to solve real-world installation challenges.
- Certified Excellence: Our facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Our screws carry CE markings, guaranteeing compliance with strict safety standards.
As a specialized cement board screw manufacturer, we engineer our fasteners to withstand the high-alkalinity and moisture-heavy environments typical of fiber cement and backer board applications.
1. Material & Coating Options for Corrosion-Resistant Cement Board Screws
- Carbon Steel (C1022): Hardened for strength and cost-efficiency, featuring specialized ceramic or epoxy coatings.
- Stainless Steel: Available in grades 302, 304, 305, and 316 (Marine Grade) for ultimate rust prevention in coastal or harsh exterior environments.
2. Thread & Point Design That Improves Pull-Out Strength and Installation Speed
We utilize proprietary tip and thread geometries to reduce installation time and maximize the mechanical bond between the board and the frame.
- Hi-Lo Thread: A dual-thread profile featuring alternating high and low threads. This configuration provides higher pull-out resistance while requiring lower driving torque, reducing installer fatigue.
- Self-Drilling Point: Equipped with a built-in drill bit tip. This feature allows the fastener to pierce heavy-duty metal studs without pre-drilling.
- Spoon Point: Utilizes a specialized fluted tip design. This geometry minimizes board cracking during entry while maintaining exceptionally high pull-out strength in fiber cement materials.
1. Exterior Fiber Cement Siding & Sheathing Applications
For building envelopes, we provide heavy-duty solutions that stand up to the elements:
- Fiber Cement Siding: Optimized for premium cladding brands (such as HardiePlank®), utilizing wafer-head designs to distribute pressure and prevent pull-through.
- Exterior Sheathing: Perfect for securing panels to wood furring or metal profiles on commercial facades.
- Weather Resistance: Available in high-grade stainless steel or advanced coated carbon steel to withstand rain, humidity, and temperature cycles.
2. Subflooring and General Construction Uses for Cement Board Screws
Our screws provide the versatility required for various substrates and structural requirements:
- Flooring Underlayment: Fastening cement panels to subfloors to provide a stable, rigid base for stone or tile, preventing floor movement and cracked tiles.
- Sharp-Point: For rapid entry into wood studs and floor joists. / Self-Drilling: For piercing light-gauge steel framing without pre-drilling.
Q1: What Head Types Are Available for Cement Board Screws?
A1: As a specialized cement board screw manufacturer, we offer head designs tailored to your specific finishing requirements:
- Flat Head (with ribs): Features self-countersinking ribs that allow the screw to sit perfectly flush with the board. This is the industry standard for interior tiling applications.
- Wafer Head: Provides a significantly larger bearing surface. This is the preferred choice for fiber cement siding and exterior panels to prevent the fastener from pulling through the board.
Q2: Do Cement Board Screws Require Pre-Drilling for Wood or Steel Studs?
A2: In most applications, no pre-drilling is required. Our screws are engineered with specific tip geometries for high-efficiency installation:
- Sharp Points: Designed to bite instantly into cement board and wood framing for a secure, fast grip.
- Self-Drilling Tips: Essential for fastening boards to light-gauge steel studs, as the built-in drill bit pierces the metal profile effortlessly without the need for a pilot hole.
Q3: Are Cement Board Screws Suitable for Exterior and Outdoor Applications?
A3: Yes. Our screws are engineered for maximum durability in exterior building envelopes, including fiber cement siding, soffits, and façade systems.
Q4: Does Fong Prean Offer OEM / ODM Cement Board Screw Manufacturing?
A4: Absolutely. As a leading cement board screw manufacturer, we specialize in bespoke solutions. We provide full customization for:
- Thread Geometries: Engineered to match specific board densities and substrates.
- Proprietary Coatings: Custom colors and salt-spray resistance levels to meet your brand's technical specifications.
