1. Screws Chipboard screws are typically designed with a coarse thread to grip the material effectively. They can come with various head types, such as flat, pan, or round, and are often self-tapping, meaning they can create their own hole as they are driven into the chipboard. This feature reduces the risk of splitting the wood.
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.
Chemical anchors have found widespread use in numerous projects. In the realm of high-rise buildings, they are commonly used to secure structural elements such as steel beams and precast concrete panels. In civil engineering, chemical anchors are employed to attach safety barriers and roadway signs to existing structures.
Epoxy resins, for example, are composed of a hardener and a resin, which when combined, undergo a chemical reaction resulting in a rigid, durable bond Epoxy resins, for example, are composed of a hardener and a resin, which when combined, undergo a chemical reaction resulting in a rigid, durable bondanchor fastener chemical. Urethane adhesives, on the other hand, are known for their flexibility and excellent impact resistance. The selection of the right chemical anchor depends on factors such as the type of substrate, load requirements, environmental conditions, and the expected service life of the structure.Wedge anchor bolts offer several advantages in construction. Their ability to provide a secure hold in concrete makes them ideal for both temporary and permanent installations. The installation process is relatively straightforward, requiring only the drilling of a hole, insertion of the wedge anchor, and tightening of the bolt to create a secure bond.
