In the world of construction, where steel frameworks meet concrete foundations and high-rise structures rise from blueprints, fasteners often go unnoticed. But these small components-bolts, nuts, screws, anchors-are what hold our infrastructure together, quite literally.
As one of the trusted fastener manufacturers in India, we at SG Mart Limited understand the real impact that fasteners make on-site, especially when used in tandem with other structural steel products like TMT bars, MS binding wire, and welding rods.
🏗️ The Backbone of Steel Structures
While TMT bars provide the tensile skeleton and welding rods secure joints, it is the fasteners that enable modular assembly, disassembly, and flexibility on site. From industrial warehouses to multi-storey buildings, reliable fastening systems ensure that fabricated steel sections remain secure even under seismic load, wind pressure, and prolonged stress.
✔️ Whether it’s anchoring steel columns to concrete or assembling prefabricated steel panels, fasteners play a vital role.
🔍 What Makes a Good Construction Fastener?
Based on years of on-ground collaboration with contractors and engineers, here are key qualities to look for in premium construction fasteners in India:
- ✅ High tensile strength and shear resistance
- ✅ Corrosion resistance for long life
- ✅ Compatibility with structural steel, including Fe 500D/Fe 550D TMT bars
- ✅ Standardized threading and dimensions for universal tool usage
At APL Apollo SG, our range of heavy-duty nuts, bolts, washers, and anchor fasteners are precision-engineered for such reliability.
🔧 Bolted vs. Welded Joints: When to Use What?
In many projects, we see engineers debating between welding and bolting. Here’s a quick perspective:
- 🔩 Use fasteners when you need modularity, speed of assembly, or disassembly (ideal for industrial sheds, bridges, and prefab structures).
- 🔥 Use MS welding rods when permanent, sealed joints are required (in columns, reinforcements, and beam-column joints).
For example, one of our clients constructing a cold storage unit in Rajasthan used APL Apollo SG Welding Electrodes to weld steel trusses while relying on APL Apollo SG Fasteners to assemble the wall purlins and roof sheets. The result? Faster delivery and hybrid strength.
🛠️ How Fasteners Complement Other Reinforcement Products
It’s a misconception that fasteners are only for steel sheets or machine parts. In RCC construction and general fabrication, fasteners support:
- Binding of steel shuttering systems
- Assembly of steel cages for heavy foundations
- Fixing formwork systems
- Anchoring baseplates with TMT rebar cages
- Joining lightweight trusses and channels
When paired with SG Strong Binding Wire for tying and Fe 500D TMT bars for the main framework, you create a fully reinforced ecosystem.

🧰 Key Applications of Fasteners in Construction:
- Industrial shed fabrication
- Steel bridge assemblies
- Prefab steel buildings
- Commercial roofing and sheet fixation
- Wall support frameworks
- Structural glazing and façade systems
This makes fasteners indispensable in India’s fast-evolving construction sector – especially with the rise in pre-engineered buildings (PEB), modular warehouses, and smart cities.
