To attach privacy partitions, lighting fixtures or rails, the head of the fastener is usually visible and required to match or accent the finish of the fixture. In these cases, finished screws or bolts (i.e., chrome or brass-plated, solid brass or painted) can be purchased to match the fixtures. The manufacturers should be contacted to determine the availability and range of finishes available in their products.
