In such an industry as the construction of thisThe moment applies a lot of various ways and options for mounting parts. The construction of any object, whether it is a residential building, office or shop, almost never does without the use of anchor, rigging and furniture fasteners. One of the main connecting devices in this list along with bots and self-tapping screws are building brackets. What are they and what are they? The answers to these questions will be found in the course of this article.
Characteristic
Such a tool as a forged construction bracketwas originally considered the most durable and efficient tool for connecting wooden beams and parts in chopped and cobbled houses, bathhouses and other buildings, the basis of which is made of natural materials. Practice shows that these brackets provide the most durable and reliable connection in the shortest possible time period. In this case, the installation process is provided with a special device (almost as in the case of riveting devices) in just a few seconds. This device is called a stapler. Moreover, its speed of work can be compared with a pistol and even with an automatic rifle - no similar device has such a frequency of staple shooting.
Material
As we already understood, construction brackets are a method.universal fastener of wooden parts, which is used in the construction of structures or furniture assembly. They are made of high-quality alloy steel, which according to the production technology passes several stages of hardening. Due to this, these products are characterized by high strength, reliability and quality of connections. Depending on the purpose, staples are produced from wires of different diameters, from 6 to 14 mm.
Features of constructions
Construction brackets themselves are U-shapedstructure, while produced from reinforcement or rod of smooth section. The side parts of these elements (“legs”) have a concave shape and are placed perpendicular to the base at an angle of 90 degrees. This design have all the brackets construction. The dimensions of these parts do not affect the production technology, and they all have a classic U-shape. In some cases, there are S-shaped (twisted) analogues, but the most effective in terms of the quality of the connections are rotated brackets, the “legs” of which are bent at an angle of 90 degrees.
Terms of use for installation
The main mistake novice builders withthe use of such elements in the household is that they are driven into raw wood, which is absolutely unacceptable in the production of these installation works. In this case, the bracket simply does not have the ability to tightly enter into the material, and thus provides not the best connection. As a result of this, when the wood dries, cracks begin to form on its surface, and the connecting elements themselves will perform a practically decorative function.
