What is the difference between drywall screws VS wood screws?
Today we will compare and explain the differences between them from the aspects of what they are, what they are used for, head shape, thread, tip, etc.
1. Comparison of main uses of plasterboard screws and wood screws
Comparison items
Drywall Screw
Wood Screw
Applicable
Fixing gypsum board to metal/wood keel
Wood or wooden frame connection
Applicable Materials
gypsum board, drywall, thin sheet metal (light steel keels)
natural wood (pine, oak, etc.), density board, plywood
Application Scenarios
ceiling, partition wall, gypsum board installation
furniture making, wood structure construction, outdoor carpentry
The high-strength drywall screws manufactured by Sinsun are specially designed for fixing drywall panels to wooden frames or metal keels. The main features are the flared screw head, which will not protrude after installation, and the fine thread and sharp tail, which are suitable for the installation of drywall without damaging the surface.
Wood screws [https://www.sinsunfastener.com/?s=wood+screw+&cat=490] manufactured by Sinsun are mainly for creating strong, long-lasting joints in wooden materials

2.Head design comparison
Comparison items
Drywall Screw
Wood Screw
Head Type
bugle head (large pressure-bearing surface to prevent gypsum board from breaking)
Round head/countersunk head/oval head/Wafer head (multiple options)
Head diameter
8-12mm
5-8mm
Drive Tool
Cross Drive (PH2/PZ2)
Cross slot/Torx/square head (wider compatibility)
Sinsun's drywall screws have widened and deepened Philips grooves and need to be used with HP2 tools. The trumpet head design can be perfectly embedded in the gypsum board.
The large head area prevents the gypsum board from breaking, making it the perfect screw for gypsum board installation.
Our Wood Screws can be designed in many shapes for different usage scenarios, such as pan head, countersunk head/oval head.
The drive methods of Wood Screws are also diverse, such as torx drive/square drive. This design is more wear-resistant and non-slip.
3. Thread design comparison
Comparison items
Drywall Screw
Wood Screw
Thread type
Fine thread (pitch 2-3mm)
coarse thread (pitch 4-6mm)
Thread depth
Shallower (0.2-0.3mm)
Deeper (0.3-0.5mm)
Self-drilling capability:
Can drill thin metal (such as light steel keel)
Pre-drilling is required (hardwood), softwood can be self-drilled
Comparing the two screws from the thread, Fine Thread drywall screw [https://www.sinsunfastener.com/fine-thread-drywall-screw-product/] is mainly used to fix gypsum board and metal keel, while coarse Thread drywall screw [https://www.sinsunfastener.com/bugle-head-coarse-thread-drywall-screws-product/] is mainly used to fix gypsum board and wooden keel.
Wood screws are all coarse threads and deep threads.
In addition, the pointed tail of drywall screws can easily drill metal without drilling holes. Wood screws are used directly for soft wood, but hard wood needs drilling.

4. Other comparison
Comparison items
Drywall Screw
Wood Screw
surface Treatment
Phosphating, zinc plating, nickel plating
Galvanized, Dacromet, Rust-coated
Special design type17 Point
Self Tapping
Type17 Point
Torque requirements
Lower (1-3Nm), to avoid cracking of the gypsum board
Higher (3-5Nm), to tighten in place
How to choose between the two screws? According to your actual use scenario
Using gypsum board/light steel keel? -> Choose Drywall Screw (fine thread + trumpet head)
Making solid wood furniture/outdoor woodwork? -> Choose Wood Screw (coarse thread + high hardness)
Temporary fixation? -> Drywall Screw can be used in an emergency, but has poor load-bearing capacity
High humidity environment? -> Choose stainless steel or galvanized Wood Screw
Key difference: gypsum board screws are like fine threads that penetrate thin materials, while wood screws are like coarse threads and deep threads that bite firmly. Mixing them will cause screw breakage or material damage. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, we will do our best to serve you today
