Bulk buying screws for backer board

[Flintstone]

Just wondered if anyone bought bigger quantities of screws for boarding floors ? I have a couple of large floors to board and the usual turbo gold screws only seem to be available in boxes of 100, any decent alternatives ?

Wedi screws come in a box of a thousand but probably pricey .

I get all my screws from ironmongery direct, the Timco screws are really good and cheap.
I prefer them to turbo gold.

I get my bulk from a trade depot called Stax - 2000 in a box - for a 25mm 4 - about £15 I think. or a Riesser Cutter for £24 for 1600 - It all depends on how good the flooring is as to which screw I buy.....

The plasterboard screws are fine very sharp and cheap ,there fine i checked

 

[Flintstone]

No good for flooring, only good for plasterboarding !

Hardie and Ditra are two different things

 

[Flintstone]

Very different products for different jobs. I'd never use it on walls.

Have you got a local ironmonger shop near you as they will prob be able to give you a good deal on bulk

Ditra is not a alternative to over boarding ....you still need to do this before you install Ditra
