16mm self drilling screws

Tek screws, a brand name associated with self-drilling screws, are designed for quick and efficient assembly without the need for pre-drilling, which significantly reduces labor costs and time on job sites. The 13mm wafer head variant is characterized by its unique flat, wide head that provides a larger bearing surface. This design not only helps in distributing the load evenly across the material but also minimizes the risk of surface damage, making it ideal for use in visible applications.

steel post bracing. This type of bracing helps to distribute lateral forces evenly throughout the structure, reducing the risk of localized failure and ensuring the overall stability of the building. Cross bracing is often used in industrial buildings, warehouses, and other large structures where lateral forces are a significant concern.

Secondly,the desired holding power is another important factor to consider when selecting the correct wedge, bolt, and drill size. The holding power of a fastener is determined by its diameter, length, and thread pitch. Generally speaking, larger fasteners with higher thread pitches provide greater holding power. However, it's important to ensure that the fasteners you select are appropriate for the thickness of the material being fastened. If the fasteners are too large for the material, they may not be able to penetrate the material fully, resulting in reduced holding power.
