Washers are designed to perform functions in specific applications; These can be locking, load distribution, protection, decoration, tension indication, sealing or a combination of these roles. Square washers for construction should be used for wood construction and concrete floor applications instead of circular washers; They are used with all fasteners for greater load distribution and bolt penetration through walls or wood.
