Olympia Steel Buildings Stainless Steel Fasteners for Galvalume Steel Sheeting

All of Olympia Steel Buildings galvalume steel sidewall panels use stainless steel screws that come pre-assembled with neoprene washers. The neoprene washers eliminate any potential for rust by preventing damage to the steel sheeting such as cracking paint, due to over-tightened screws. The neoprene washers also prevent the screws from widening the holes in the galvalume steel sheeting causing leaks. Olympia Buildings stainless steel screws are 18 parts chrome and 8 parts nickel with painted heads that match the color of the sheeting. They will not rust, tarnish, turn dark gray or black.

Some steel building competitor’s screws for their metal sidewall panels do not come with washers to prevent over-tightening. Over-tightened screws cause holes to widen and paint to crack and chip creating a source for leaks and corrosion. A long-life alloy screw may be provided that can prevent rust, but the screw will oxidize and turn dark gray or black making the building unattractive.
