Aquapanel screws ok not countersunk (1-2mm proud)?

[ChrisKingston]

Hi,

I couldn't see an answer to this on any of the other posts about Aquapanel. I've shelled out for Aquapanel (£15 for 4' x 3' at Wickes) and the Aquapanel screws too. I've just been driving them in as self-tappers, which seems to hold well but the heads are still proud, sticking out between 1 and 2 mm from the face of the board.

I'm guessing that's ok because the time cement will cover them and more, but just wanted to check before I do a load more tomorrow.

As always any advice appreciated,

Chris

If your using the knauf screws then they should be self counter sinking, we found them too expensive so got some stainless steel ultra's from the B&Q at a quarter of the price and they were bang on, did over 400m2 of aquapanel with these, no probs
