In construction industry, millions of dollars spent on beam and concrete to construct a building. But what holds them together is just a tiny pieces of construction fastener. Although each of them gives a local strength of binding the building material, but if plenty of them used together, then the power of fastening will empower the fastening system to the entire structure to make them stronger.
When we mentioned about fasteners, especially those tools used in construction, they covers all sorts of screws, bolts, nuts, pins and hinges. Although fasteners can be customized to suit a certain need and design or application, but many construction companies will use the standard construction fasteners available in retail wholesale market due to its quality and cost.
As a comparison, construction fastener generally is stronger than any other deck fastener or normal bolts and screws. They are built to last, mainly used for heavy and sturdy construction purposes.
The construction fasteners have served the widely usage in commercial, residential and industrial purposes. No matter whether it is small house to mega building of factory, all construction requires fasteners and plenty of them to build one.
The most basic criteria to choose a right fastener are application, material, body design, diameter of fastener body, thread type and drive types. A clear illustration showing how a fastener being used in different application according to their different function and characteristic. A fastener used to join two wood beams is different from another fastener to tighten the steel rods. Both are totally different application, if wrongly apply, accident might happens to the material being fastened.
There is a standard quality requirement addressed by the government to specify each and every material used in construction with the correct fastener. To avoid any unforeseen breakage or any structure failure, one must observe the tensile strength and shear values accurately for the fasteners applied. If you find it too technical for you, then do make sure you send the fastener specification to the lab to testify scientifically, in order to fulfill the requirement for the safety of all the construction workers.
