Zhenhua Washers in Construction: A Part-by-Part Selection Guide for Steel, Facades and Roofing

Construction fasteners are effectively unmaintainable once installed - sealed inside structures, hidden behind facades. Every part therefore has to be specified correctly at the selection stage. Below is the part-by-part product mapping for building applications.

Application location and product mapping

Primary steel structure nodes  →  DIN 25201 L Wedge Lock Washers

Nodes on crane beams, equipment platforms and long-span trusses carry dynamic load. Conventional spring washers rely on friction, which is consumed under sustained vibration. DIN 25201 relies on geometry instead, and paired with hex lock nuts provides double locking. Hot-dip galvanising is recommended for heavy structural duty.

Curtain wall framing to primary structure  →  DIN 6796 Belleville Washers / DIN 6798A External Tooth

Aluminium facade panels reach 80 C in summer and fall to -20 C in winter, and their thermal expansion differs greatly from steel framing. Belleville washers absorb displacement as elastic compensation elements, maintaining air and water tightness through temperature cycles, while external tooth washers prevent framing connectors loosening.

Metal roof panel fixing  →  Screw Cup Washers / DIN 6797A External Tooth

Roof panels lift and reseat repeatedly in high winds. Screw cup washers used with self-tapping screws solve water ingress through their curved bearing face and bonded seal; external tooth washers address vibration loosening.

Curtain wall units and decorative faces  →  Countersunk Safety Washers / Screw Cup Washers

Exposed fastening points must combine appearance with protection. Countersunk safety washers suit countersunk holes, sitting flush without protruding - ideal for facade finishes and interior fit-out.

Equipment supports and pipework fixing  →  DIN 6798J Internal Tooth / Raised-Point Anti-Slip Flat Washers / Starlock Washers

Fixing points on pipe supports, cable trays and ventilation equipment. Starlock washers are a push-on design that presses directly onto a shaft or stud without turning, suited to batch-assembled positioning structures.

Prefabricated components and connectors  →  Custom Stamped Parts

Reinforced corner brackets, U-shaped stamped brackets and connecting plates, with in-house tooling development to drawing.

Material note

For coastal buildings, pool surrounds and chemical plant structures we recommend the full range in A4 (316) stainless. A2 (304) is suitable for general exterior use.
