Pancake screws are low-profile fasteners designed to sit flush beneath standing-seam panels, clips, and tight-clearance metal roofing components. At Supply Maverick, you’ll find #10 pancake head screws for metal-to-wood and metal-to-metal applications, including zinc-plated, self-drilling, and 300 series stainless steel options. Most are packed in 250-piece bags, with bulk quantity pricing available for contractors and repeat buyers.
Choosing the right product begins with an assessment of your needs, and that often starts with the substrate that you’ll be drilling into. Wood substrate requires an SP point pancake screw, while steel-to-steel fastening requires an SD self-drilling point. Then, you need to consider the necessary screw length and materials.
| Product option | Best use | Substrate | Finish or material | Point style | Available lengths | Bag count |
| Zinc-plated pancake screws | Standing seam clips and clip lock standing seam roofing systems | Metal to wood | Zinc plated | SP point | 1-inch, 1-1/2-inch, 2-inch, 2-½-inch, and 3-inch, with special order options | 250 pcs |
| Zinc-plated self-drilling pancake screws | Standing seam clips fastened to steel | Metal to metal | Zinc plated | SD self-drilling point | 1-inch and 1-1/2-inch | 250 pcs |
| Stainless steel pancake screws | Metal-to-wood fastening where stainless material is preferred | Metal to wood | 300 series stainless steel | SP point | 1-inch and 1-1/2-inch | 250 pcs |
For many standard jobs, the zinc-plated SP point option is the value-driven pick, as it covers common metal-to-wood fastenings and offers the widest length range. If you need to secure standing seam clips to wood stubstrate, the 300 series stainless steel option is ideal. And if you are securing steel to steel, the self-drilling version is best.
Start with the surface you’re fastening into, because this one decision quickly narrows the product choice. SP point pancake head screws are used for metal-to-wood fastening, such as securing standing seam clips to wood, while SD self-drilling pancake screws are made for steel-to-steel applications.
However, head profile matters, too. A pancake head roofing screw has a wide, low-profile head that helps it sit flat under the clip or panel. You need to ensure that whichever option you choose stays flush against the materials and doesn’t show through the panels.
For a wood substrate, choose an SP point pancake screw. Supply Maverick’s zinc-plated and stainless steel pancake head screws are both designed to secure standing seam clips to a wood substrate, including clip lock standing seam metal roofing systems.
The zinc-plated option uses a #2 square drive and an ultra-thin pancake head, so it stays flush without dimpling or showing through the panel. The stainless steel option also uses a square drive and comes in 250-piece bags, so it is perfect for wood substrates and stainless steel fasteners. If you are unsure, check with the manufacturer or speak with a qualified local installer before ordering.
A steel substrate needs a different screw. For metal-to-metal fastening, choose the zinc-plated self-drilling pancake screw with an SD point. The point is made for steel-to-steel applications, and the pancake head keeps the profile low under standing seam clips.
These pancake screws are available in 1-inch and 1-1/2-inch lengths, both packed in 250-piece bags. Like other pancake head screws, these are designed to sit flat under the panel and are well-suited to projects with metal substrates.
Material choice should follow the project spec. Supply Maverick carries zinc-plated pancake screws for common clip applications, zinc-plated self-drilling pancake screws for steel-to-steel work, and 300-series stainless steel pancake screws for metal-to-wood work.
The zinc-plated SP point screw is the budget-friendly option for many standing seam clip installations into wood substrate. It also has the widest length range in this category, with 1-inch, 1-1/2-inch, and 2-inch options, plus longer special-order sizes in some cases. Since certain roofing systems may have their own fastener requirements, confirm the material and length against your panel or clip specifications before checkout.
A pancake screw size should be based on the clip, the substrate, and the fastening requirements for the roofing system. If you’re working from approved plans or manufacturer instructions, follow that information first.
A 1-inch pancake head screw is a common short-length option for compatible assemblies. A 1-1/2-inch pancake screw is often used when you need additional embedment, as it offers greater length. For metal-to-wood fastening, the zinc-plated option is often ideal, coming in both 2-inch lengths and longer when needed.
For uncertain project specs, don’t guess. Confirm the screw length, point style, and material with the panel manufacturer or a qualified local installer. Your installed roofing system determines the correct fastener, and Supply Maverick can help you make the right choice.

Pancake screws are used where a low-profile fastener is needed under a panel, a clip, or another tight-clearance metal roofing component. For metal roofing, they’re commonly used to secure standing seam clips.
Pancake head and wafer head screws are both low-profile fasteners. Pancake head screws are extremely low profile, with a broad surface that bears weight without prominently sticking out. Meanwhile, wafer head screws feature a slight dome shape and are designed to sink into softer materials. Both offer benefits depending on the roofing system, the substrate, and the project as a whole.
Yes. Pancake screws are commonly used for standing seam clips because the flat, low-profile head sits close to the surface. This reduces interference beneath the panel.
SP point pancake screws are used for metal-to-wood fastening. SD point pancake screws are self-drilling and are used for steel-to-steel applications.
Choose based on the project specs, substrate, and material requirements. Zinc-plated pancake screws are a value-driven option for many standard applications. 300 series stainless steel pancake screws offer buyers an alternative for compatible metal-to-wood applications.
Pancake head screws are designed with a low-profile head so they can sit flat and reduce the risk of dimpling or panel show-through when they’re used in the right application.
Supply Maverick’s pancake screw products are sold in 250-piece bags.
