GSE 45mm Short Silver Screw - Roof Integrated Solar PV Fixing

Designed specifically for GSE in roof solar installations, this pack of 100 GSE 45mm short silver screws provides a secure, low profile fixing solution when counter battening is not used on the roof. These shorter screws reduce the risk of penetrating the roof felt or membrane while still delivering a strong, code compliant connection between the GSE frame/tray system and the existing roof battens.

Why buy these GSE short screws?

• Shorter 45mm length prevents puncturing roofing felt or membranes when counter battens are not installed.
• Reduces risk of over driving and potential roof damage, supporting a safer, more professional installation.
• Supplied in convenient boxes of 100, helping you buy in bulk and keep installation sites supplied as standard.
• Helps maintain a clean, discreet roof integrated solar appearance by keeping fixings tight and flush.
