Are there specific screws to attach vinyl siding?




I bought a house with vinyl siding. Are there specific screws to use so that I don’t wreck the siding?

Tina....You can purchase a plastic hook that slides under the siding and works great. I believe I ordered mine off Ebay but pretty sure you can get at Lowe's. Good luck.
You can purchase screws which have the colored heads. Most screws should work okay but it would be best if you can reach a stud when attaching something to the wall as you will need it for strength.
Are you wanting to use the screws for the vinyl siding itself---Use aluminum, galvanized steel, or other corrosion-resistant nails, staples, or screws when installing vinyl siding. Aluminum trim pieces require aluminum or stainless steel fasteners. All fasteners must be able to penetrate a minimum of 1 1/4” (32mm) into nailable material, such as wood sheathing and framing (Fig. 15).
When the fastener must penetrate through a non-nailable material such as foam sheathing, the thickness of that material does not count toward the total. In such cases, the fastener will need to be long enough to penetrate through the non-nailable material and then 1 1/4” (32mm) into wood framing or other nailable material. (Review the siding manufacturer’s instructions and your local building codes for variations that may apply to specific siding or geographic areas.)
Thank you!
