Material Options for Construction Fasteners

• Steel: High strength but lacks corrosion resistance unless coated with other materials
• Zinc-Plating: Provides moderate corrosion resistance
• Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel: Very good corrosion resistance
• Stainless Steel (18-8, 316, & 410): Excellent corrosion resistance, with 316 offering superior resistance in marine and chemical environments
• Aluminum: Excellent corrosion resistance and very lightweight
• Brass: Excellent corrosion resistance and electrically conductive

Thread Style Options

• Coarse threads for soft materials like wood and composites
• Fine threads for metals and other hard materials
• Self-tapping threads that create their own threads and eliminate the need for pre-drilling
• Self-drilling threads that allow the screw to both drill and tap threads into materials (K-lath screws and Tek Type screws available)

Choosing the Right Fasteners for Construction Applications

There are several considerations to weigh when choosing fasteners for construction applications. Since the construction industry involves a wide range of different fastening scenarios, including woodworking, drywalling, masonry/concrete work, and more, many different styles of fasteners and material and coating options are used. Some key questions to ask when choosing construction fasteners include:

• Will you need corrosion resistance? If your application will require your fasteners to be exposed to outdoor elements or chemicals, you will need some level of corrosion resistance. Zinc-plated fasteners, hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, and stainless steel fasteners all provide varying levels of corrosion resistance for construction applications.
• What are the load-bearing requirements for your application? If your fasteners are going to be used for structural purposes, you will need to make sure your fasteners meet the tensile strength and load-bearing requirements. We offer a range of high-grade steel fasteners that are designed for even the most demanding structural applications.
• What materials will you be fastening? Since construction applications involve fastening wood, metal, drywall, plastics, and other materials, it's important to understand the best fasteners for each specific application. Construction applications also include electrical work and may require electrically conductive fasteners, like brass. Head styles, thread types, and materials/coatings all play a role in creating a secure fastening connection with your application.
