    Perforated—These economical washers are best for interior applications.
    Solid—When fastened, these washers flex to create a seal around the connection that blocks out air and moisture. They are most often used on exterior walls to attach weather barriers over insulation.

    With Prongs

    Plaster and grout flow through the perforations in these washers to form a secure bond between the washer and the wall. Use them under drywall screws to fasten cracked, sagging plaster back onto lath and to secure wire mesh to backer board before installing tile.
    Corrosion-Resistant Galvanized Steel—These washers combine the strength of steel with the rust resistance of stainless steel. They're an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments, but they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals.
    Prongs—The prongs sink into lath, backer board, and other soft materials to hold the washer in place, so it won't shift during installation.
