Opinion: Andy Holland, Technical & Marketing Manager, Rapierstar.

There are few phrases heard more often on fabrication floors and job sites than: “These screws are rubbish.”

Heads snap. Threads strip. Self-drillers skate endlessly on steel reinforcement before burning out. Instinctively, the fastener takes the blame.

When it comes to maximising productivity in window and door manufacturing, what are the main factors that spring to mind? Skilled and motivated operatives are clearly vital, along with having the right machinery and tools...

Digital technology, as showcased by Rapierstar, has revolutionised the production of metal screws, enhancing the manufacturing process for window and door fabricators. This advancement allows for the creation of higher quality products in a fraction of the time, ensuring efficiency and safety in construction.

The fastener may be the smallest and lowest unit cost component used in the manufacture of windows and doors, but it actually performs a huge role in their long term quality and performance. Hence why it is important to choose the best fasteners for the job.
