Product specification

Rivets are a small but vital part of any building envelope construction, and choosing the correct type is imperative. It is important to consider both the materials and rivet type when specifying rivets for your roofing, cladding and rainscreen projects.

 

Rivet material Product code affix Key features
Carbon steel body / carbons steel mandrel CC Zinc plated carbon steel is suitable for use on projects where corrosivity won’t be an issue including internal and external applications in non-corrosive, non-coastal environments such as rural and urban locations.
Aluminium body / carbon steel mandrel AC A dependable general purpose material combination suitable for a wide variety of applications. It is, however, important to recognise that the mandrel is left within the body and could rust over time. It should therefore be used in environments where corrosion won’t be an issue or on applications where it won’t cause staining to cladding, roofing or façade materials.
Aluminium body / stainless steel mandrel AS This combination provides high levels of corrosion resistance thanks to the stainless steel, while maintaining flexibility within the aluminium body to deliver a good grip range variation.
Stainless steel body / stainless steel mandrel SS High-grade A2/304 stainless steel rivets are suitable for use in environments classified as C3 for corrosivity under BS EN 9223:2012, such as medium risk urban and industrial projects in inland locations. Certain rivets are also available in A4/316 grade stainless steel.
Aluminium body / aluminium mandrel AA This specialist combination is used in the TriGrip™ range. It allows the body to split to create an evenly spread clamping force – perfect for securing fragile materials without damage.

 

Rivets for roofing, cladding and facade applications

Multi-range rivets
Multi-range aluminium rivets
Multi-range aluminium-bodied breakstem rivets are a highly versatile solution for roofing and cladding applications. They are manufactured with a steel mandrel and are available in a range of sizes with two head styles. One of the biggest benefits of Multi-range rivets is their large grip range. This is achieved thanks to their unique design which allows the body to concertina behind the material.

Sealed head rivets
Sealed head rivets
Sealed head aluminium rivets feature a domed aluminium body with a steel mandrel which is retained in the body after setting. This means the rivet is completely sealed so there is no possibility of a leak through the rivet itself. They are available with an optional small rubber sealing washer under the flange.

Tri-Grip rivets
Tri-Grip rivets
TriGrip™ rivets are specifically designed to provide a secure, reliable method of fastening thin gauge materials such as sheeting, cladding, flashings, gutters, fascias and soffits. They are manufactured from aluminium and have been designed to create a positive clamping force with no radial pressure or expansion. They feature a slotted body, which forms a three-pronged bearing surface, providing excellent clamping that is dispersed across a wide grip range. As a result, TriGrip™ rivets are especially suited to fragile materials such as plastics and GRP.

Countersunk head rivets
Countersunk head rivets
Where a completely flush finish is required, Fixfast countersunk head rivets are the perfect solution. It is important ensure the roofing, cladding or façade material is deep enough to allow the countersunk head to bed into the material before the clamping process can begin.
