Customizable Brackets Sliding Shelf Brackets Supplier And Manufacturer

Customizable brackets are architectural elements: a structural or decorative member. It can be made of wood, stone, plaster, metal, or other mediums. It projects from a wall, usually to carry weight and sometimes to “…strengthen an angle”. A corbel and console are types of brackets. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

In mechanical engineering, a bracket is an intermediate component for fixing one part to another, usually larger, part. What makes a bracket a bracket is a fact that it is intermediate between the two and fixes the one to the other. Brackets vary wildly in shape, but a prototypical bracket would be the L-shaped metal piece that attaches a shelf (the smaller component) to a wall (the larger component): its vertical arm is fixed to one (usually large) element, and its horizontal arm protrudes outwards and holds another (usually small) element. This shelf bracket is effectively the same as the architectural bracket: a vertical arm mounted on the wall, and a horizontal arm projecting outwards for another element to be attached on top of it or below it. To enable the outstretched arm to support a greater weight, a bracket will often have a third arm running diagonally between the horizontal and vertical arms, or indeed the bracket may be a solid triangle. By extension, almost any object that performs this function of attaching one part to another (usually larger) component is also called a bracket, even though it may not be obviously L-shaped.

Galvanization, or galvanisation, (or galvanizing as it is most commonly called in that industry), is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent customizable brackets rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.
