Coloured 5.5 x 19mm Pancake Head Self-Drilling Screws
These 5.5 x 19mm coloured pancake head self-drilling screws are built for metal-to-metal fixings where a low-profile, colour-matched screw head makes the difference between a clean finish and a visible compromise. The wide, flat pancake head sits just 2mm above the surface - low enough to clear overlapping panels and trim, wide enough to deliver serious clamping force across thin sheet materials.
The integrated Tek drill point cuts directly into steel up to 5mm thick without a pilot hole, and the coarse 60° self-tapping thread locks in with high pull-out resistance. Manufactured from C10-18 carbon steel with a silver organic base coating rated to over 500 hours salt spray, these screws are Metsec tested and certified to BS EN 14566:2008 and BS EN 10666:2008 with an A1 fire classification.
Where the screw head remains visible - on cladding, trim, panel clips, or exposed framing - a silver or ruspert-finished fastener stands out against coloured surfaces. RALfixings powder-coated pancake head screws eliminate that problem. The screw head colour-matches the surrounding panel or framework, keeping fixings discreet across the finished installation.
40 RAL Colour-Matched Finishes
Every 5.5 x 19mm pancake head screw is electrostatically powder-coated and oven-cured to a RAL Classic colour standard. The result is a hard, uniform finish bonded directly to the screw head - resistant to scratching, chipping, UV fading, and corrosion. Unlike wet paint, powder coat will not peel, blister, or thin at edges over time, even on the wide, flat pancake head surface where paint finishes are most vulnerable to scuffing during installation.
With 41 stocked RAL colours spanning whites, greys, blacks, blues, greens, reds, yellows, browns, and purples, these coloured self-drilling screws cover the most commonly specified colours across cladding, roofing, and metal building applications. Whether you are matching RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey composite panels, RAL 9005 Jet Black aluminium trim, or RAL 6005 Moss Green profiled sheeting, the right colour is available for immediate dispatch.
Need a RAL colour outside the stocked range? We hold over 400 RAL Classic powders and can coat to any colour on request. Contact us with your RAL reference for availability and lead times.
Common Applications
5.5 x 19mm coloured pancake head self-drilling screws are used wherever a low-profile, colour-matched fixing into metal is required:
- Cladding and composite panel systems - flashings, trims, and cover strips
- Metal framing and steel studwork - Metsec sections and light gauge steel
- Panel clip and rainscreen bracket fixings
- Roofing accessories - ridge caps, barge boards, fascia trims
- Agricultural and industrial buildings - barns, carports, portal frame cladding
- Hoarding panel fixings where a low-profile head is preferred over a wafer head

Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of steel can these self-drilling screws fix through?
These 5.5 x 19mm pancake head self-drilling screws have a maximum drilling thickness (MDT) of 5mm. The integrated Tek drill point cuts through light-to-medium gauge steel without a pilot hole. For heavier gauge steel beyond 5mm, pre-drilling is required.
What is a pancake head screw?
A pancake head is a low-profile screw head - just 2mm high with a wide 10mm diameter. It sits almost flush against the surface while still providing a large clamping area. This makes pancake head screws ideal for fixing thin sheet materials, panel clips, and cladding where a protruding screw head would interfere with overlapping layers or spoil the finished appearance.
What driver bit do I need for these screws?
These pancake head screws have a Phillips PH2 recess. Use a standard PH2 driver bit at controlled speed - avoid cam-out by applying firm, steady pressure. Compatible with all cordless drivers and hand screwdrivers.
Are coloured pancake head screws suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The C10-18 carbon steel core is finished with a silver organic coating rated to over 500 hours salt spray resistance, suitable for urban and light industrial environments. The RAL powder coat adds a further layer of UV, scratch, and weather protection. For coastal or high-corrosion locations, contact us to discuss stainless steel alternatives.
Are these screws Metsec tested?
Yes. These self-drilling screws are Metsec tested and manufactured to BS EN 14566:2008 and BS EN 10666:2008. They carry a Fire Classification of A1 (non-combustible), making them suitable for use in fire-rated steel framing assemblies.
Powder Coated Self-Drilling Screws
RALfixings specialise in colour-matched visible fixings for the cladding, roofing, and construction sectors. Every self-drilling screw is powder-coated in-house using an electrostatic spray process, then oven-cured at 200°C to produce a hard, even finish that bonds directly to the screw head.
Powder coating outperforms wet paint in every measurable way. The electrostatically charged powder particles wrap around edges and into recesses, building a consistent film thickness that liquid paint cannot replicate. On a pancake head screw - where the wide, flat head surface is exposed to scuffing during panel installation and tool contact - this durability matters. The cured finish is harder, more flexible, and far more resistant to impact, abrasion, and chemical exposure than paint, lasting up to 20 years in exterior applications.
Benefits of powder coated self-drilling screws:
- Scratch resistant - hard cured finish withstands handling, installation, and tool contact
- Rust resistant - silver organic base plus powder coat provides dual corrosion protection
- UV resistant - colour stays true with no fading or chalking
- Weather resistant - will not peel, blister, or crack in exterior conditions
- Colourfast - RAL colour-matched finish maintains consistency over time

Recommended applications
A medium-duty colour-matched self-drilling screw for metal-to-metal fixings where the screw head must sit low and blend with the surrounding surface. The wide 10mm pancake head delivers high clamping force across thin sheet materials while standing just 2mm proud — low enough to clear overlapping panels, trims, and cover strips without fouling.
The integrated Tek drill point cuts through steel up to 5mm thick without a pilot hole, and the coarse 60° self-tapping thread provides strong pull-out resistance once seated. Drive with a PH2 Phillips bit at controlled speed — apply firm pressure to avoid cam-out and do not overdrive into thinner gauges.
Metsec tested and certified to BS EN 14566:2008 with an A1 fire classification. For thicker steel substrates or higher shear loads, consider a larger diameter self-drilling screw. Where a pre-tapped hole exists, use a machine screw instead.
