Home Improvement Asked by Chrysippus on October 4, 2021
I am installing hardiebacker concrete board with thinset to a plywood subfloor.
I am putting down the new subfloor and want to be sure the screws that I use to secure the plywood to the joists will not corrode from the layer of thinset over the subfloor.
All the floor screws I could find in the box stores are black phosphate screws. Are these black phosphate screws alkali resistant and will they be OK in contact with a layer of thinset and cement board on top of the subfloor?
Phosphate offers no more protection than galvanized or paint coating ; The good news is once the thinset cures ,they will always be dry so corrosion won't be a problem.
