A washer is normally used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a screw or nut. Other uses are as a spacer, a wear pad, preload indicating device, locking device, and to reduce vibration.

Washers are also important for preventing galvanic corrosion, particularly by insulating steel screws from aluminium surfaces.

To complement our range of fixtures and fittings, we have sourced a range of industrial black oxide washers. These come in a variety of sizes to suit various application such as furniture construction, woodworking projects, lighting design and any general vintage industrial project.

These flat washers will create a more authentic appearance for your project. 

For those of us who struggle with imperial measurements, we have included metric equivalents next to the sizes, usually in brackets [].

** Please note: Rub washers - AKA shim washers, are not visible when used. We suggest their use in conjunction with our range of square-headed lag bolts to prevent scrubbing on the material surface when tightening.**

Currently, we carry a limited range of sizes and a small amount of stock. We will continue to increase our range and stock levels over time. Contact us if you require a specific size that’s not in the list or a larger quantity. Please allow a 2-3 week lead-time for delivery.
