Stainless-Steel Fasteners

However, when compared to the overall job, the small additional cost of stainless steel is inexpensive insurance against corrosion and unattractive staining that can occur with other fasteners. Stainless-steel fasteners are reliable and long lasting, and reduce costly callbacks. Simpson Strong-Tie offers a wide array of top-grade stainless-steel fasteners that are backed by our commitment to quality, performance and service.
