Whether you’re a contractor or a homeowner, there are seemingly endless possibilities for using rods and studs.

From Job Site to Home Site

Choosing the right materials is paramount to a successful project. Contractors have long realized the myriad uses for rods, studs and threaded rods, in particular. When putting up walls, for instance, a large, steel threaded rod is often installed to help provide structural support. Smaller sizes of this venerable hardware are routinely used for other mounting needs throughout a construction project as well.

Likewise, homeowners use these specialty items in various home-remodeling projects, such as refurbishing walls or anchoring large bookcases or armoires to walls. They are also commonly used to hang paintings, shelves and other large decorative items, and they can be made out of plastic for lighter hanging needs or metal for heavier needs.

Go With What You Know

Whether used for a commercial application or a home project, rods and studs are staples in the construction industry today. As such, hardware and other specialty stores are typically well stocked with these products. They also carry them in a variety of sizes and materials.

To determine the exact product that’s right for the job, it is important to consider the end use and the amount of stress and torque that the unit will endure. Doing a little research or consulting with hardware personnel can help you make the right decision. Regardless, once in place, you can rest assured that this hardware will get the job done and hold up for the long term.
