A lo-profile star head screw has a lower, flatter head than a standard hex head roofing screw. The star torx drive recess allows the head to be shallower while still transmitting full torque during installation.

#10 lo-profile star head roofing screws typically use a T25 torx bit. Check the specific product listing for the exact drive size, as it varies by screw size and manufacturer.

Star head screws offer a lower profile than hex heads, which some installers prefer aesthetically and for wind resistance. Both provide equivalent holding power and sealing when installed correctly.

The EPDM washer is a rubber disc bonded to a steel backing plate under the screw head. It compresses slightly during installation to create a watertight seal at the panel penetration point.

Yes. The self-drilling tip penetrates both the metal panel and the wood framing beneath in one motion without pre-drilling.

Color-matched painted heads are available in a wide range of standard metal roofing panel colors. See the color chart on the product listing to match your specific roofing brand.

Screw length depends on the combined thickness of the metal panel plus the framing member. For standard 29-gauge metal panel over 2x wood framing, 1-1/2 inch screws are typical.

Yes. Low-profile star head screws are suitable for corrugated and ribbed metal roofing panels where a flush head profile reduces the exposed screw height above the panel surface.

Approximately 80 to 100 screws per 100 sq ft of metal roofing is standard, with higher density at eaves, ridges, and edges where wind uplift is greatest.

T-15 and T-20 refer to the Torx drive size on the screw head. T-15 is used on smaller #8 and #10 screws; T-20 appears on larger sizes. Both are common in metal roofing applications.
