Metric Carriage Bolts
Carriage bolts are featured in a variety of different interior and exterior applications. Carriage bolts are distinctive for their rounded heads, giving them a clean and finished look. Most carriage bolts also feature a square section under the head for securing the fit and increasing the tension of the hold. While carriage bolts vary in size and design, it's always a good idea to use bolts made of stainless steel. This is especially important if you're using them in marine applications and other applications where outdoor exposure is an issue. Stainless steel is one of the most popular materials used for marine hardware because it resists rust and corrosion better than any other highly durable material. In addition to providing excellent rust resistance, stainless steel is also ideal for applications where fasteners hold components made of other metals. Fasteners corrode at a faster rate when they are exposed to antagonistic metals. Stainless steel is one of the most passive materials available for fasteners, which helps to slow down corrosion rates. If you're looking for carriage bolts that last for years and years, there's no better material than stainless steel. For many years now, Brikksen has been a leading distributor of stainless steel carriage bolts and other fasteners. Our metric fasteners are designed to meet international manufacturing standards. If you're not currently using metric fasteners, there's never been a better time than right now to make the transition. Industry analysts predict in the next couple of years that most of the leading manufacturers will convert to metrics.
