Buttonfix Develops the No Compromise Panel Fastener

For the most demanding applications such as fire-sensitive environments, Buttonfix have designed an all-metal version of their award-winning panel fixings. The Type 1 Metal Button-Fix retains all the benefits of the polymer versions – quick and easy installation, accessibility of services, and amazing strength – but is manufactured in materials that are compliant for use with fire-retardant panels.

Producers of fire-retardant panels have been quick to see the advantages of this new product. With a stainless-steel spring to grip the Button within the Fix, Type 1 Metal Button-Fix is also ideal for marine applications where vibration may be an issue. The reassuring ‘click’ as the Button-fix locks home has been tested over 10,000 times, to ensure reliable performance no matter how many times the panel is removed.

Available from May this year, Type 1 Metal Button-Fix meets the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Standards: Annex 2.1 for non-combustible materials, making it ideal for all types of interior panelling on yachts and ships.
