Screw Guide
Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard and Trusscore SlatWall can be installed using any readily available corrosion-resistant #8 or #10 gauge screws. The screws should have a flat-bottomed, low-profile head (e.g., truss, pancake, round, washer, or cabinet heads), with a minimum head diameter of 3/8". We recommend using 1-1/4" long screws for wood studs, 1-1/2" to 2" screws over drywall, and 2-1/2" screws when attaching to furring strips. Choosing the correct screw length ensures a secure connection between materials. Measure the thickness of each material using a caliper, tape measure, or ruler, then add the totals together to determine the screw length needed to fasten Trusscore panels without puncturing the vapor barrier.
