Application and Industry Terminology of Building Hardware in Decoration and Renovation Engineering

1. Decorative Hardware

• Handles are the most commonly used decorative hardware. Classified by use: cabinet door handles, drawer handles, door and window handles; by material: stainless steel handles, brass handles, aluminum alloy handles, zinc alloy handles; by style: minimalist, European, Chinese. Their shape and material directly define the overall decoration style.
• Decorative fasteners are used for fixing and connecting decorative panels and trims, commonly including buckles, pressure strips and decorative covers in the industry, mainly to hide joints and improve aesthetics.
• Metal trims (stainless steel, aluminum alloy, brass) are used for edge closing and modeling of walls, floors and ceilings, to divide space and add decoration, also known as decorative edge strips in the industry.
• Ceiling keels are basic supporting components for ceilings, divided into light steel keels and aluminum alloy keels, and main keels and auxiliary keels by function; often classified by specification (U‑shaped, C‑shaped), directly determining the flatness and load‑bearing capacity of the ceiling.
• Partition connectors are used for fixing and connecting glass, metal and wooden partitions, including glass clamps and partition brackets, ensuring partition stability.
• Decorative rivets and decorative screws are used for fixing decorative panels and hangers, with various head shapes (round, countersunk, decorative), combining fixing and decorative effects.
• Metal panel hangers, known as dry hangers in the industry, are used for installing marble, granite and metal panels, including back bolts, hangers and connectors, serving as core hardware for exterior wall and high‑end interior decoration.

2. Nails, Screws and Mesh Products

• Round steel nails (commonly known as iron nails) are mainly used for fixing wooden materials such as wood keels and wood board splicing, available in 10mm, 20mm, 30mm and other lengths.
• Self‑tapping screws are the most commonly used screws in decoration, divided into wood self‑tapping, gypsum board self‑tapping and metal self‑tapping screws, which can be directly driven into materials without pre‑drilling, widely used for fixing gypsum boards, wood boards and metal sheets.
• Wood screws are similar to self‑tapping screws but with coarser threads, mainly for deep fixing of wooden materials.
• Expansion screws (metal and plastic) are used for fixing heavy objects on non‑load‑bearing walls, such as hangers and brackets.
• Steel wire mesh, steel plate mesh and welded wire mesh are mainly used for wall reinforcement and protection isolation, such as laying steel wire mesh before plastering to prevent cracking, and used for outdoor guardrails and balcony protection nets.
• Mesh cloth (fiberglass and metal) is mainly used for anti‑cracking treatment of walls and ceilings, an indispensable basic consumable in decoration.
