4. Load Distribution The wide, flat head of the 13mm wafer screw ensures effective load distribution, helping to prevent damage to the surfaces being fastened. This feature is particularly important in applications where aesthetic finish is crucial.

3. Plastic Expansion Anchors These are lightweight anchors often used for lighter objects in drywall. They consist of a plastic body that expands when a screw is inserted, providing a reliable grip for small shelves, frames, or lightweight decorations.

1. Time Efficiency The self-drilling capability means that you can install these screws more quickly than traditional fasteners. This is particularly important in high-paced environments where project deadlines are a priority.

4. Rivets

- Material Thickness Different Tek screws are designed for varying steel thicknesses. It’s essential to choose screws that are appropriate for the specific thickness of the steel you are working with.

- Material Thickness It’s essential to consider the thickness of the material you are fastening. 16mm screws may not be suitable for very thick materials, so evaluating the thickness beforehand is crucial.

3. Stud Spacing The spacing between shear studs is equally important. The spacing is typically determined by the applied load and the design code requirements. Standard practice suggests a spacing that ensures a uniform distribution of loads across the beam.

4. Corrosion Resistance The white finish often includes protective coatings that resistant to rust and corrosion, which is critical in outdoor or high-humidity applications. This quality ensures the longevity of the fastening solution and reduces the frequency of replacements.

2. Versatility These screws can be used in multiple applications, from fastening metal sheets to timber. They are ideal for construction projects, automotive assembly, HVAC installations, and more. Depending on their size and threading, they can accommodate various material densities and thicknesses.
