Product Introduction
A BAZ washer, also known as an umbrella washer or bowl washer, is a sealing component made of a metal backing (often stainless steel) with a dome-shaped EPDM rubber layer bonded to it. It functions as a waterproof seal for fasteners, protecting them from moisture, corrosion, and structural stress. BAZ washers are commonly used in roofing and facade applications, such as installing metal sheets, insulation panels, and fiber cement boards onto wooden or metal substructures.
Waterproof Sealing
Watertight seal: The conical design and elastic EPDM gasket conform to both the fastener and the surface, creating a secure seal that prevents water, dust, and air from entering.
Leak prevention: The robust sealing capability effectively blocks water ingress in roofing and metal panel systems.
Durability and Weather Resistance
UV and weather resistance: The EPDM rubber is molecularly stable and highly resistant to UV rays, ozone, and other harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for exposed outdoor installations.
Corrosion resistance: The combination of a metal washer (like stainless steel) with the EPDM gasket provides a durable and corrosion-resistant fastening solution.
Extreme temperature performance: EPDM gaskets can perform well even in extreme temperatures.
Structural Integrity
Even pressure distribution: The BAZ washer spreads pressure evenly across the fastening point, preventing deformation or cracking of the building materials.
Vibration reduction: It effectively dampens vibrations, which can extend the lifespan of the equipment or structure being fastened.

Product Uses
Roofing and cladding:
BAZ washers are essential for installing corrugated metal sheets, roofing tiles, and fiber cement panels on wooden and metal substructures, ensuring a secure and waterproof connection.
Building insulation:
They are used to attach insulation boards to external walls and secure insulation materials on roofs and floors, contributing to energy efficiency.
Window and door sealing:
BAZ washers can be used to create durable and waterproof seals around windows and doors.
Facade systems:
They are suitable for fixing components in external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS).
Product Operate Guide
1. Preparation:
Select a BAZ washer (or "umbrella washer" or "bowl washer") with a metal washer and an EPDM rubber gasket that matches your roofing material.
2. Installation:
Place the screw through the BAZ washer, ensuring the rubber gasket is in contact with the roofing sheet.
3. Fastening:
Drive the screw to the required depth. It is critical not to overtighten the screw, as this can squish the rubber gasket, causing it to lose flexibility and potentially gouge out the roofing sheet. The goal is for the gasket to conform to the sheet's shape and provide a perfect, flexible seal.
4. Protection:
After installing the screw, click a shallow cap over the top of the fixing to protect the screw and BAZ washer from the elements and maintain a watertight seal.
