self drilling washer head screws

A Tek screw, also known as a self-tapping screw, is a specialized type of screw designed with a sharp point and thread that cuts into the material it's screwed into, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The 4-inch variant is particularly popular due to its versatile length and load-bearing capacity. It strikes a balance between being long enough to provide substantial hold in thicker materials while remaining compact enough for use in various projects.

Cross bracing is designed to counteract lateral forces—such as wind loads and seismic activity—that can compromise a building’s stability. By installing steel studs diagonally across a frame, the structure can effectively distribute stress and enhance resistance to buckling. The mechanism works on the principle of triangulation, where the cross-braced elements work together to form a rigid framework that maintains its shape under stress.
