Metal hardware is actively used in almost all spheres of human life. The common name hides numerous varieties of fasteners. Steel threaded stud is one of the most versatile hardware. It is able to connect two parts with different technical configurations, directly at the attachment point.
What is most often used at the construction site
Regardless of the materials that are used on the construction site, hardware will be used to connect individual parts. Fasteners are required for fixing floor and ceiling panels. For laying communication lines. For wood, metal and even concrete. The most common and widely used are the following types:
- A screw is a fastener designed to work with screwdrivers.
- Bolt - allows you to securely hold two parts.
- The nut is an additional fastening element.
- Washer and Grover - increase the reliability of the connection.
- Metric stud is a metal stud threaded all the way.
Almost all threaded bolts have standard specifications. Thanks to this feature, you can easily purchase the required number of washers and nuts to connect parts. Use a standard metric tool for work.
Hardware for working with wood
Wood is one of the main building and installation materials that are used everywhere. It is so versatile that it is far from possible to replace it with a metal profile in all cases. To work with wood, both standard and special types of fasteners are used. It must have the following technical characteristics:
- strong enough to withstand stress;
- resist the natural expansion and contraction of wood;
- do not adversely affect natural material;
- be aesthetically pleasing to the decorative finish;
- do not damage the wood during fastening.
Quality steel self-tapping screws is a great solution instead of traditional nails. They hold much stronger in natural material, and do not destroy it at the moment of twisting. No pre-drilling required. So that the hardware does not damage the wood, including its decorative properties, they can be coated with a protective layer of zinc or chromium, which is resistant to oxidation and corrosion.
