DIN 436 Square Washer for Wood Construction — A2 Stainless Steel (SUS304), Whitened & Passivated
FULLERKREG DIN 436 square flat washers are manufactured to DIN 436 standard in A2 stainless steel (SUS304 / 1.4301 / 0Cr18Ni9) with a whitened and passivated surface finish. DIN 436 square washers feature a large square external shape rather than the conventional round profile, providing a significantly larger bearing area that distributes bolt load over a wider surface — essential for wood construction, timber framing, and applications at risk of seismic activity where pull-through resistance is critical. The square profile also prevents rotation during tightening. A2 stainless steel provides excellent general corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and food-safe compliance — ideal for outdoor timber structures, marine-adjacent construction, and food-industry woodwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DIN 436?
A: DIN 436 specifies square flat washers for wood construction. The large square profile provides a much greater bearing area than standard round washers, preventing bolt head pull-through in timber and distributing load over a wider surface. Specifically designed for timber framing and seismic applications.
Q: Why use a square washer instead of a round washer for wood construction?
A: The square profile provides a significantly larger bearing area, greatly improving pull-through resistance in timber. The square shape also prevents rotation during tightening and locks into the wood grain, maintaining bolt tension more effectively than round washers.
Q: What size range does DIN 436 cover?
A: DIN 436 covers M10 through M52, with square side lengths from 30mm (M10) to 160mm (M52) and thicknesses from 3mm to 10mm.
Q: Is A2 stainless steel suitable for outdoor timber construction?
A: Yes. A2 (SUS304) provides excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, rain, and mild salt air. For highly aggressive marine environments (direct seawater contact), A4 (SUS316) would be recommended.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, chemical composition reports, and dimensional inspection reports are available upon request.
