Penny Washers

Penny Washers are flat washers with a significantly larger outer diameter compared to standard washers. This increased surface area allows for better load distribution, helping to prevent pull-through and damage to softer materials.

 
Commonly used in construction and general fixing applications, they are ideal where additional support and coverage are required.

Key Features

• Large outer diameter for improved load distribution 
• Helps prevent pull-through on softer materials 
• Reduces surface damage during tightening 
• Compatible with bolts, screws and threaded rod 
• Simple and effective reinforcement solution 
• Available in multiple corrosion-resistant finishes

Product Description

Penny Washers are designed to spread the load of a fastening over a wider area than standard washers, making them particularly useful when working with materials such as timber, insulation, sheet metal or plastic.

By increasing the contact surface, they help to reduce the risk of fasteners pulling through the material, while also improving stability and strength of the joint. They are often used in applications where holes are oversized or where additional support is needed around the fixing point.

 
These washers are widely used across construction, roofing, cladding and general fabrication, offering a simple yet highly effective solution for reinforcing fixings.

 
Available in Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) for general indoor use, Hot Dip Galvanised (HDG) for enhanced corrosion resistance in external environments, and Stainless Steel for maximum durability in harsh or corrosive conditions.

Applications

Ideal for use in timber, sheet materials, roofing, cladding, insulation fixing and general construction where increased load distribution and surface protection are required.
