Stitch screws are specialty fasteners used to connect overlapping metal panels at side laps and edges. Unlike self-drilling screws that attach panels to framing, stitch screws secure panel-to-panel connections, ensuring a weather-tight seal and preventing uplift in high winds.
Indaco Metals supplies stitch screws in lengths, coatings, and head colors designed to match our panel systems. With EPDM sealing washers, they provide long-term leak resistance while blending neatly into the roof or wall finish.
Stitch screws are essential for contractors and property owners installing metal roofing or siding.
Farmers rely on them to secure overlaps in barns and ag buildings, contractors use them in shops and warehouses for weather-tight panel joins, and homeowners use them for garages and workshops where reliable panel fastening is key.
Indaco provides stitch screws engineered to work specifically with our roofing and wall panels. By supplying them alongside panel orders, we ensure you receive the right color, length, and washer type for your system, reducing jobsite delays and ensuring consistent quality.
