Hi,
I intend on boarding my loft by using cross batons.
What type and size screw shall I use??
I saw these special screws that didnt need a pilot hole and were meant to be really easy to screw but I cant remember what they are called?
Any ideas??
Thanks

You don't need a really expensive screw for loft boarding, these are just as good.

I used hundreds of those to board my loft. I did drill a pilot hole and countersink though.0 -
I would use drywall screws.0
