HomeRangeComposite Panel Fixings

Composite panel fixings

We have solutions for the wide range of composite panels that are used in the industry today – steel thicknesses from 1.2 – 25mm covered, with head styles to match your projects.

In 3 types of steel to suit a variety of environments, our fasteners are specially designed for maximum reliability, minimum fuss.

With high threads on all our composite panel fasteners, helping to clamp the top sheet of the panel securely in place, our innovations also include our super flat washers to help our low-profile fasteners sit flush against the panel for a barely noticeable finish.

Where can I use these fixings?

Fixing to light section

Capable of drilling 1.2-3mm steel, our DF3 range is suitable for fixing metal composite panels or insulation to light steel.

Drill Points

Our unique drill point geometry means our range can cover steel thicknesses from 1.2 – 25mm steel, across multiple different fastener ranges and drill points. Optimised steel hardness eliminates failures, giving you a clean, fast drill every time.

1.2mm – 3mm – DF3 range

1.2mm - 5mm – DF5 range (Stainless Steel A4/316)

4mm - 12mm – DF12 range

4mm - 15mm – DF15 range (Stainless Steel A4/316)

8mm - 25mm – DF25 range

Steel Grades

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is suitable for use in internal or external applications in non-corrosive, non-coastal environments.

All our carbon steel fasteners feature a corrosion-resistant organic coating which provides lubrication for ease of drilling while also preventing damage to the steel.

Stainless Steel A2/304

Our A2/304 Stainless Steel fasteners provide excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for use in medium risk corrosivity environments, or on projects using Aluminium sheeting or components.

Stainless Steel A4/316

A4/316 Stainless Steel is a super-austenitic alloy containing high levels of molybdenum, nitrogen and nickel – ensuring it is highly resistant to corrosion, tarnishing and stress.

Head Styles

Hex

Precision engineered hexagon heads for easier driving.

Moulded

Glass-fibre reinforced, bi-hex, UV resistant nylon heads, moulded for exceptional impact resistance .

Low Profile

Complementing the best in modern construction techniques, our low profile fasteners are designed for a discreet finish. Combined with our super flat washer, our fasteners sit flat to the panel for a flush finish.

Lacquered Low Profile

Highly durable powder-coated heads to blend in with any colour building – we can lacquer to a wide range of colours and offer a precise colour matching service.

Sealing washers

A variety of washer materials and diameters are available to suit all roofing, cladding & façade applications.

These are the general recommendations for washer sizes; however, consideration should be given to the corrugation dimensions and system manufacturer specifications.

Code Material Diameter Application
A15 Aluminium (also available in stainless steel) 15mm Vertical cladding
A19 Aluminium (also available in stainless steel) 19mm Roof sheeting
A29 Aluminium (also available in stainless steel) 29mm Rooflights
