In the world of plant engineering and construction, precision is the key to success. Where previously standard lengths were the norm, we see a clear shift toward efficiency. Custom studs have become essential in this regard. Simply shortening long threaded rods on the construction site is no longer cost-effective.
For installers, fabricators and technical buyers is buy custom studs a smart investment. Whether for HVAC suspensions, complex steel construction or precast structures, using the right stud at the exact length saves time, money and frustration. In this article, we dive into the benefits of custom studs and why they are the smartest choice for any professional builder or installer.

Standard threaded rods of 1, 2 or 3 meters can be bought everywhere, but in practice they are often an obstacle to a streamlined process.
1. Lost time due to manual editing
Cutting threaded ends on site is time-consuming. For each cut, a fitter must saw, deburr, and repair the thread to make the nut operable. In a project with hundreds of fasteners, this loss runs into thousands of dollars in man-hours. Custom studs are delivered ready-made, including trimmed ends.
2. Risk of corrosion and weak connections.
When galvanized threaded rods are cut on site, a blank cutting edge is created that is extremely susceptible to rust. With professional custom wire rods, a seamless finish (such as electrolytic or hot-dip galvanizing) is ensured or high-quality stainless steel (A2 or A4) is used.
3. Material waste (cutting loss).
With standard lengths, you are always left with leftover pieces of 20 or 30 centimeters that are no longer usable. This cutting loss is pure capital destruction. With custom studs, you only pay for the meters you actually incorporate into the structure.
Custom studs are indispensable in projects with precast concrete, tight installation spaces or high numbers of fastening points. They save processing time, prevent errors and improve project planning. Customization is also essential when dealing with varying lengths, tensile strength requirements or corrosion resistance.
In technical rooms, space is often tight. Custom studs provide tight suspension of air ducts without protruding parts that can be dangerous for maintenance personnel.

When anchoring steel plates or connecting precast concrete elements, there is no room for error. Here, threaded rods with high tensile strength (quality 8.8 or 10.9) are often used, produced exactly according to the working drawing.

For cable trays and sprinkler systems, speed is crucial. Assembly crews can get straight to work with pre-sorted sets of threaded ends, significantly reducing the lead time of large projects. Discover custom fastener options
