Description
Forgefix double slotted roofing bolts are designed for versatility and durability, featuring a low profile mushroom head for seamless integration into various applications. These bolts are supplied with square nuts and are suitable for both interior and exterior use, making them an excellent choice for construction and assembly projects that may be exposed to weather conditions. The bright zinc plated finish enhances their resistance to corrosion, ensuring that they can withstand the elements without the risk of rusting, thus offering a longer-lasting solution for your fastening needs.
Application and Usage
The Forgefix roofing bolts are not limited to roofing applications; they can be utilized effectively in a variety of scenarios where joining products together is required. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use clearance drill sizes that are 1mm larger than the bolt diameter to facilitate easy installation and to prevent issues during fastening.
Durability and Corrosion Resistance
One of the key benefits of these bolts is their zinc coating, which serves multiple functions. Not only does it create a barrier against oxidation, but it can also act as a sacrificial anode in case the protective layer is compromised. This unique property of zinc means that it can form zinc oxide, a fine white dust that does not degrade the surface integrity of the underlying metal, unlike iron oxide. If left undisturbed, this zinc oxide layer can provide additional protection against further oxidation, similar to the natural oxide layers found on aluminium and stainless steel.

When using slotted screwdrivers for installation, it is crucial to ensure that the screwdriver tip matches the width of the screw slot to avoid damaging the screw head. Forgefix roofing bolts feature double slotted designs that accommodate slotted screwdrivers effectively. These screwdrivers are available in both flared and parallel tips. The flared tip is well-suited for the majority of tasks, while a parallel tip should be employed when the screw or bolt needs to be driven below the surface of the material, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing finish.

Weighing approximately 0.86 pounds, these bolts are robust yet lightweight, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. Forgefix roofing bolts, with their zinc plated finish and versatile design, are an essential addition to any toolkit, providing reliable performance and enduring durability wherever they are employed.
