Considerations When Using Self-Drilling Metal Screws

When installing rigid insulation nails, it is important to use the appropriate size and type of nail for the job. Using nails that are too short or too thin may not provide enough support for the insulation board, while using nails that are too long or thick may cause the insulation board to crack or buckle. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for installation to ensure the nails are properly secured and the insulation board is adequately supported.

- Construction Often used in metal roofing and siding installations, where durability and waterproofing are critical.

Metal expansion nuts, often referred to as expansion anchors or expansion inserts, are specialized fasteners that expand when a bolt or screw is threaded into them. They typically consist of a cylindrical body with slits along its length or an expandable design that facilitates outward expansion. The main purpose of these nuts is to create a secure grip within a substrate, such as concrete, wood, or metal, thereby preventing loosening due to vibrational forces, temperature fluctuations, or stress.
