Specifications

Which one do I need?

A 32mm screw is a shorter drywall length. It is a common pick for fixing a single board, where a longer screw is not needed to reach the support behind. If you are fixing through more than one layer, you will need a longer screw so it still bites into the stud or batten.

How to use

1. Find and mark the studs or battens so every screw lands on solid support.
2. Fit a cross bit, ideally in a depth-setting holder.
3. Press the board firmly against the frame while you drive.
4. Set the screw head just below the board surface without breaking the paper.
5. Fill over the heads and sand smooth before finishing.
