3. Environmental Factors The choice of materials for self-drilling bolts, such as coatings or finishes, should consider the environmental conditions they will face, including exposure to moisture or corrosive substances.

The significance of steel stud cross bracing cannot be overstated. In urban areas where buildings are often crowded and constructed in proximity to one another, they must withstand significant lateral forces. Cross bracing helps ensure that these structures do not succumb to bending or collapsing under such pressures. This not only protects the investment made in the construction of the building but also ensures the safety of occupants and nearby structures.

4. Corrosion Resistance Certain washer materials, such as rubber or specialized coatings, can provide added resistance to moisture and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the fastener.
