Architectural Hardware: Core Applications in Main Building Construction
The main building structure is the core application scenario of architectural hardware. As structural connectors and functional components, hardware products directly determine a building’s structural safety, stability, and service life, making them indispensable core accessories for construction projects. This section focuses on commonly used architectural hardware in main structure construction and supporting works, clarifies their standard industry terms, core functions, and applicable scenarios, providing precise references for material selection and construction communication.
1. Structural Connectors
(Standard industry terms: bolts & nuts, expansion anchors, chemical anchors, angle brackets, embedded parts, steel structure connectors, sleeve anchors, high-strength bolts)
These components serve as the “bones and muscles” of load-bearing building structures, mainly used in critical connections such as beam-column joints, curtain wall fixing, prefabricated building assembly, and floor-wall connections. They directly bear the building’s self-weight and external loads (wind, seismic forces, etc.).
- High-strength bolts (classified by strength grades: 8.8, 10.9, 12.9) are key connectors for steel structures, widely used in high-rise offices, industrial plants, bridges, and large-scale buildings.
- Expansion anchors (metal expansion anchors, plastic expansion anchors) are commonly used for fixing non-load-bearing walls and components.
- Embedded parts (also known as embedded plates or embedded anchor bars) are pre-installed in concrete for subsequent steel structure and pipeline connections.
- Angle brackets (right-angle, special-shaped) are used to connect door/window frames to walls and curtain wall keels, providing reinforcement and leveling.
2. Door & Window Hardware Systems
(Standard industry terms: hinges, tracks, handles, lock points, door closers, stays, pulleys, actuators, multi-point locks, fall arresters)
As the building’s “entry and exit points”, doors and windows rely entirely on hardware systems for air tightness, water tightness, sound insulation, anti-theft performance, and opening/closing durability.
- Hinges are core opening components, available in stainless steel, brass, cold-rolled steel, and designed for casement doors, sliding doors, and curtain walls.
- Handles include standard, multi-point, and smart handles (some with fingerprint recognition).
- Lock points work with actuators to achieve multi-point locking (2-point, 3-point, multi-point locks) for enhanced security.
- Door closers (light, medium, heavy-duty) automatically close fire doors and public-area doors for fire safety.
- Stays (wind stays, limit stays) control opening angles to prevent wind damage.
- Pulleys (nylon, stainless steel) ensure smooth operation and service life of sliding doors and windows.
3. Plumbing & Sanitary Hardware
(Standard industry terms: faucets, showers, angle valves, floor drains, pipe fittings, bathroom accessories, toilet parts, radiator connectors, hoses)
These products are used in water supply/drainage, heating systems, and wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens), requiring high corrosion resistance, sealing, and durability.
- Faucets are categorized by application (kitchen, basin, shower) and cartridge material (ceramic, brass).
- Angle valves (triangular valves) connect water pipes to faucets and water heaters for flow control.
- Floor drains (standard, anti-odor, deep-water seal) provide drainage and odor prevention.
- Pipe fittings (brass, stainless steel, PPR) ensure sealed, leak-proof pipeline connections.
- Bathroom accessories (towel racks, shelves, hooks) are installed by drilling or non-drilling methods.
- Toilet parts (tank fittings, lid hinges, flush buttons) affect flushing performance and service life.
- Radiator connectors support installation and piping for central and independent heating systems.
The above terms are universally recognized in the industry and adopted for construction and procurement communication. Regional colloquial names may exist, but core terminology remains consistent to ensure accurate information exchange.
