When commercial roofing integrity is the priority, the Ace #15 FATnSTRONG™ series, distributed by A1A Wholesale Supply, delivers industry-leading pull-out resistance and durability. These fasteners are designed to work seamlessly with Ace Insulation and Membrane Plates, providing a complete attachment solution for base sheets and modern synthetic membranes.
Each fastener features a high-performance drill point and a #3 Phillips drive head, allowing for rapid penetration into 18 to 22-gauge steel and various wood structural decks. The Black e-coat finish is rigorously tested (exceeding 15 cycles of Kesternich DIN 50018), ensuring that the fastener maintains its structural strength even in corrosive environments. With a specialized 13-thread-per-inch design, FATnSTRONG™ screws offer exceptional stability and torque performance, minimizing the risk of fastener back-out.
