Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Choose screw length by total fastening depth: panel thickness plus insulation plus embedment into the deck. The 3 in. length suits lighter insulation builds; step up to longer lengths in this series for thicker polyiso. Drive straight with an adjustable-depth screw gun chuck so the point engages without overdriving.

Wear eye protection and gloves when driving drill point screws; fastener tips and metal chips are sharp.
