FAQ – Fixtures & Fastenings

What is the difference between bolts, screws and rivets?

Bolts are typically used with nuts to fasten materials together, while screws are threaded fasteners designed to secure directly into a material. Rivets are permanent fasteners installed using a riveting tool and are often used where a strong, vibration-resistant joint is required.

How do I choose the correct fastener size?

Choosing the right fastener size depends on the material thickness, load requirements and application type. The diameter, length and thread type must match the materials being joined to ensure a secure and reliable fixing.

What are washers used for?

Washers are used to distribute load, reduce surface damage and prevent loosening due to vibration. They are commonly used alongside bolts, screws and threaded rods to improve joint stability.

When should I use corrosion-resistant fasteners?

Corrosion-resistant fasteners should be used in outdoor environments, high-moisture areas or industrial settings where exposure to weather or chemicals may cause rust. Materials such as stainless steel or coated fasteners help extend service life.
