We have already seen that the blind rivet is widely used in the construction sector.
Today we are analyzing the case of the curtain wall: it is a wall cladding system made up of non-load-bearing panels anchored to the building, which form the walls of the building.
The panels can be made of different materials such as steel and plastic materials, but the most common are glass and aluminum due to their lightness, which make the building slim and elegant.
Fixing the panels is the task of blind rivets: being exposed to weather conditions, these structures are designed to withstand water infiltration and corrosion, gusts of wind and seismic events, as well as the weight of the coating itself.
It is therefore essential to find a fastening system that is effective and resistant, but also aesthetically in harmony with the building material and color used.
Based on the required performance and the characteristics of the building and site, here are some examples of the most suitable rivets:
- Blind rivets in aluminum, copper or stainless steel
- Painted blind rivets, for colored panels. We have 3 standard colors in our catalog (RAL 8019, 9010, and 9005), but we can supply rivets in customized RAL starting from a sample or from the color of the final application
- Blind rivets with specific surface coatings that increase resistance to corrosion and bad weather
- Customized blind rivets, defining together the technical specifications of mechanical resistance, and any specific treatments required.
Our technical department is available to provide you with a free consultation!
