In the process of installing wooden structures, specialists use a variety of fastening devices to make the finished structure more durable and reliable. They not only help prevent distortion during the installation process, but also make the building more reliable during operation. High quality threaded studs take a significant part of the load. Preventing the forces of destruction from accumulating fatigue in only one part of the structure.
Studs when assembling a log house
A classic wooden lock is not enough for individual logs to hold reliably relative to each other. During operation, the walls can experience a wide variety of loads, and as a result, get skewed, or even collapse. Iron studs will help in solving the following problems:
- Erect smooth, non-skewed walls of buildings.
- Properly distribute the load over a larger area.
- Provide structural resistance to dynamic loads.
- Use walls to support heavy objects.
- Compensate for the natural tendency of wood to deform.
Important: There is a very wide variety of threaded metal studs. The choice should take into account physical activity and length, to connect two or more metal parts. Excessive length can be easily removed with a cutting tool.
Features of application in practice
In order for the hairpin to connect two or more parts, it is necessary to make a hole corresponding to the diameter in them. Do not allow the hole diameter to be larger than the steel stud, as this can deform the wooden building during the screed process. Other important usage features are worth adding:
- experts recommend to lubricate the threads before installation;
- you can tighten the nuts with any convenient tool;
- it is not allowed to skew the hairpin in the process of screwing it into a wooden material;
- the presence of a washer between the tree and the nut is a must;
- tight contraction on both sides, but without significant punching of the base.
A threaded metal stud is a durable material that can outlast wood structure. In many cases, for additional construction reliability, experts recommend using studs pre-coated with zinc. Thus, they will be best protected from moisture changes.
