2¼" is our most popular size
with IAPMO Approval
for Subfloor and Shear Walls of all kinds.
We also have 2½" and 3" if you really want
overkill.
We get
asked if the installer can skip the glue if
they use Ballistic NailScrews®; the
answer in NO—please don't skip the glue.
The good news is the glue will not dry faster
than you can drive the Ballistic NailScrews®.
