Choosing the Right Fixings & Fasteners
Select the right fixing or fastener based on the material, load, and environment of your project:
1. Material Compatibility
Ensure your fixings are suitable for the material you're working with-timber, masonry, or metal require different types. For timber, wood screws or nails are ideal, while masonry needs wall plugs and anchors.
2. Load Requirements
Consider the weight and stress on the fixing. Heavy loads need anchors or bolts that can handle the strain, whereas lighter tasks might only require screws or nails.
3. Corrosion Resistance
For outdoor or damp environments, choose rust-resistant or galvanised options to maintain strength and longevity over time.
