Understanding Bracing

Tek screws are specialized screws designed with a drill point that allows them to drill through materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilling holes. Named after the brand Tek, which first popularized them, these screws are available in various sizes and materials—most commonly steel and stainless steel—making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including metal and wood cladding.

Applications in Construction

One of the primary benefits of using expanding metal wall anchors is their high load-bearing capacity. Compared to plastic anchors, metal anchors provide superior support, especially for heavy items like shelves, TVs, or large picture frames. Their expansion mechanism also ensures that the load is evenly distributed, which minimizes the risk of the wall cracking or the anchor pulling out.
