Fasteners That Can Stand Up To The Sun

Exposure to the sun’s harsh UV rays can take a toll on fastening materials over time. It is important to choose fasteners that can stand up to the sun. Sun exposure can speed up corrosion in traditional steel fasteners and weaken their integrity. Plastic fasteners can become brittle and prone to cracking when overexposed to the sun. The aesthetic appeal of your project can fade as well. This blog will explore different fastener types that can withstand the harsh sun's UV rays. 

• Stainless steel: These fasteners are great options for outdoor applications because they are highly corrosive resistant. Stainless steel fasteners maintain their strength and appearance even under extended sun exposure. 
• Coated fasteners: Coated screws and nails are designed to resist UV rays and corrosion. Allfasteners blue concrete screws have a durable coating for added protection. 
• Galvanized fasteners: These are treated with a zinc coating, giving them extra corrosion resistance. They are not as aesthetically appealing as stainless steel fasteners. 
• Bronze or brass: Bronze and brass fasteners are corrosion-resistant and also develop an aesthetic patina over time adding character to your project. 

Selecting the right fasteners for outdoor projects is important to ensure longevity and structural integrity. Choosing the right fastener will help maintain the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your project. Allfasteners has the right fasteners for lasting results that shine bright under the sun.
