UNI-Metal Screw for Face-Fixing EQUITONE Panels to Metal Subframes

The EQUITONE UNI-Metal Screw is a purpose-built fastening solution for face-fixing 8mm EQUITONE high-density fiber cement panels to metal subframes—without the need for predrilling. Its color-matched head ensures visual continuity, while the innovative biodegradable centering tip delivers precise, low-strain installation. With high pull-out and shear resistance, this screw supports secure, long-lasting rainscreen cladding across vertical facades, soffits, and ceilings.

Key components of the UNI-Metal screw

Key components of the UNI-Metal screw
  • Centering Sleeve: Leaves no residual material in the drill hole to interfere with the 3-dimensonal movement after installation.
  • Drill Tip: Bites immediately an drills through the substructure with ease.
  • Shoulder: Protects the panel from overtightening.
  • Double-start Thread: Supports the straight alignment of the fastener to the panel.
  • Reduced Thread: Helps prevent the screw from accidentally backing out of the substructure.
  • Optimized Drive: Uses a T25W bit to help make installation more stable and therefore easier than standard Phillips.
