Screws

Perfect for joining materials with precision and durability, high-quality screws offer exceptional versatility and long-term strength with a threaded design.

• Wood Screws: True to their name, these screws are designed for a wide range of wood applications, including cabinetry, framing, furniture making and other woodworking needs. Featuring a sharp point and coarse threads for maximum grip, wood screws form the foundation of any wood-based construction.

• Drywall Screws: With countersunk heads providing a seamless finish, drywall screws are ideal for securing drywall components for framing. These types of screws are essential for installing drywall panels, and come available in fine-thread and coarse- thread options for wood studs.

• Deck Screws: Known as weather-resistant fasteners, deck screws are designed to withstand outdoor conditions and are best suited to building decks, fences and other exterior structures.

Generally made with stainless steel, screws maintain their structural integrity and performance over time. To allocate even more protection from harsh weather, some high-quality screws feature rust-resistant coatings like galvanized or epoxy finishes.

Bolts

Bolts for construction create reliable connections for a spectrum of heavy-duty applications. Known for their high tensile strength and versatility, they are your go-to choice for projects depending on stabilized fastening for load-bearing builds.

• Hex Bolts: Named for their hexagonal head shape, hex bolts are some of the most widely used bolts in construction, joining steel, wood and other materials together. Popular in steel construction, bridge-building and machinery assembly, hex bolts are a trusted construction fastener for a myriad of structural needs.

• Carriage Bolts: Ideal for applications requiring strong connections with an aesthetic touch, carriage bolts are commonly used in wood-based projects like furniture building and fencing. These bolts feature a rounded head with a square neck.

• Lag Bolts: Lag bolts are among the largest bolt types on the market, securing posts, beams and other structural components together. Sometimes called lag screws, these bolts for construction are especially handy in heavy-duty wood framing applications like anchoring decks.

Specifically engineered to bear heavy loads, bolts are indispensable for builds demanding superior load-bearing capacities. As such, these fasteners are generally made with materials like alloy or stainless steel. Most bolt types must also meet industry standards and certifications, such as ASTM or ISO.

Nails

Nails are a fundamental part of construction, providing a simple solution for all your fastening needs. Produced in a variety of types and sizes, nails are suitable for many applications, from structural framing to fine finishing work.

• Framing Nails: These heavy-duty nail types feature strong shanks and are used with nail guns for fast installation. Necessary for constructing walls, floors and roofs, framing nails deliver strength and reliability.

• Brad Nails: Smaller and thinner than framing nails, brad nails are valuable in finishing work where clean design is paramount. These nail types are ideal for molding, trim, cabinetry and other detailed work.

• Roofing Nails: These nails are commonly used in fastening roofing materials, including shingles, underlayment and more. With a wide head designed to connect heavy-duty materials, roofing nails can withstand heavy winds and other elements.

For projects facing moisture-prone environments, nails made with galvanized or coated finishes to resist rust and corrosion are an excellent choice. Stainless steel is another popular option, as nails made from stainless steel are highly durable and known as weather-resistant fasteners.

Anchors

Anchors are a specialized type of construction fastener, providing reliable attachments for materials where screws or nails won’t do. Crucial in builds involving concrete, masonry and drywall, anchors are available in a wide range of types to safely meet strict load-bearing standards.

• Sleeve Anchors: Easy to install and versatile, sleeve anchors are excellent choices for fastening fixtures to concrete and masonry. These anchor types also feature a sleeve that expands as it’s tightened to produce a strong grip.

• Wedge Anchors: Often used for heavy-duty applications in concrete, wedge anchors help to stabilize steel beams, columns and heavy equipment.

• Toggle Bolts: Toggle bolts utilize a spring-loaded mechanism to anchor into drywall, plaster and other types of hollow walls. They are ideal for hanging fixtures like shelves or televisions.

A must-have in brick and concrete anchor applications, these construction fasteners deliver strong and long-lasting connections for an array of load-bearing needs. Sleeve and wedge anchors in particular are used in many structural projects, securing railings, heavy machinery and other fixtures to concrete or masonry. In drywall applications, toggle bolts are the perfect solution for attaching objects to hollow walls without studs. These versatile fasteners can support decorative features, shelving and mirrors, making them a great option in residential and commercial settings. Anchors are also essential in industrial applications. If your project involves machinery, heavy shelving systems and other load-intensive installations, wedge and concrete anchors supply the durability required to meet the challenges of those demanding environments.

While all anchor types are designed to support heavy loads, wedge anchors provide some of the highest load capacities in their class. Anchors can be crafted with a wide range of materials to make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. For example, those made with stainless steel and zinc plating offer strengthened resistance to corrosion and the elements. On the other hand, toggle bolts built with plastic or nylon are ideal for light-duty applications involving drywall.
