Brass Fasteners for Construction
Construction applications demand fasteners that maintain appearance and integrity over decades of exposure to weather, moisture and cleaning chemicals. Brass delivers natural corrosion resistance, attractive appearance and proven longevity for both structural and architectural construction applications.
Why Brass for Construction?
Corrosion Resistance
Natural brass resists weathering, moisture and atmospheric corrosion for decades.
Aesthetic Appeal
Bright brass finish complements architectural hardware and decorative fixings.
Structural Integrity
Brass maintains clamping force in structural connections over long service life.
Chemical Resistance
Resistant to cleaning agents, concrete alkalinity and mortar.
No Staining
Brass does not cause rust staining on masonry and stone — unlike steel.
BS/DIN Compliance
Available to BS and DIN standards for European and UK construction markets.
Construction Applications
Architectural Hardware
Door hinges, handle screws, letterbox fixings and architectural feature fasteners.
Exterior Cladding
Facade panel fixings, cladding rail bolts and curtain wall fasteners.
Masonry & Concrete
Brass anchors, expansion bolts and masonry fixings for concrete and blockwork.
Joinery & Timber
Brass wood screws, coach bolts and timber connector hardware.
Plumbing Rough-In
Pipe bracket fixings, valve mounting bolts and service penetration fasteners.
Electrical Containment
Cable tray bolts, conduit support fixings and earthing hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use brass instead of stainless steel for construction fixings?
Brass offers natural corrosion resistance at lower cost than stainless steel and provides an attractive appearance for visible architectural fixings. For highly aggressive coastal or industrial environments, stainless steel may be preferred. RKIC Group supplies both — contact our technical team.
Do brass fasteners stain masonry or stonework?
No. Brass does not cause rust staining on masonry, stone or concrete — a significant advantage over steel fasteners. In some cases, natural brass patina may form on adjacent stone over many years, but this is generally considered aesthetically acceptable in architectural applications.
Can you supply brass anchors for concrete fixings?
Yes. RKIC Group manufactures drop-in anchors, expansion anchors, sleeve anchors and concrete anchors in brass. Available in M6 to M20 sizes. Contact our technical team for load capacity data and installation guidance.
