Rice Trailer Floor - Help Please :)

[sychnant]

I am in the process of reflooring my Rice. All is going well - I am almost ready to fit the first layer. But - what are the screws called that I will need? They need countersunk heads, and to be self drilling, through wood and into steel. I rang Screwfix but the man didn't seem sure what I was on about! He gave me a link to roofing screws which have a sticking-up head and need a spanner or socket to do up

Does anyone know what these are called? Would be very grateful for ideas before I go into the Screwfix Depot tomorrow

Countersunk Self tapping Screws?

I searched that, but it comes up with ones that hold plasterboard to drywall. Thanks though!

Would be easiest to phone Rice, but I'm pretty sure they went out of business last year?

Warwickshire trailers have excellent knowledge

Oh of course! I've spoken to them before and they were very helpful. Thankyou

Wow, them's some decent screws to get through wood AND steel. You would need to drill the hole for them to thread into. I'd go for self-tapping countersunk screws, you need the thread to go to the end of the screw so it's biting into the wood.
