Depending on the project, you may need improved load‑spreading, enhanced corrosion resistance, anti-loosening, sealing performance or greater assembly efficiency. To support these varied requirements, bigHead fasteners can be customised across a range of features, including: - Thread variants - Larger or alternative Heads - Collar types - Coatings - Modified end‑forms - Anti‑loosening elements These options allow you to tailor the fastener to the specific demands of your design, material or manufacturing process. We’ve now published clear guidance to help engineers and designers understand the purpose and implications of each customisation. The information covers what each option does, when it’s appropriate to use, and how it affects design, performance or assembly. Key dimensions and compatibility considerations are also included to support confident decision-making. **[Explore customisation guidance here](https://bighead.co.uk/bespoke/customise/) .** Share[http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2026/06/new-customisation-guidance?year=2026&monthnum=06&name=new-customisation-guidance&title=New%20guidance%20to%20support%20customised%20bigHead%20fastener%20specification](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2026/06/new-customisation-guidance?year=2026&monthnum=06&name=new-customisation-guidance&title=New%20guidance%20to%20support%20customised%20bigHead%20fastener%20specification) [http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=New%20guidance%20to%20support%20customised%20bigHead%20fastener%20specification+https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2026/06/new-customisation-guidance?year=2026&monthnum=06&name=new-customisation-guidance](http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=New%20guidance%20to%20support%20customised%20bigHead%20fastener%20specification+https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2026/06/new-customisation-guidance?year=2026&monthnum=06&name=new-customisation-guidance) [https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2026/06/new-customisation-guidance?year=2026&monthnum=06&name=new-customisation-guidance](https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2026/06/new-customisation-guidance?year=2026&monthnum=06&name=new-customisation-guidance) [Back to other news & insights](https://bighead.co.uk/updates-and-news/) [Previous](https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2026/06/bighead-launches-major-update-to-digital-content/) - [Background](https://bighead.co.uk/about-bighead/) - [Blog](https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/blog/) - [News](https://bighead.co.uk/about-bighead/updates-and-news/) - [Terms and Conditions](https://bighead.co.uk/about-bighead/terms-and-conditions/) This site uses cookies to improve your experience.
