Construction Rivet

Construction rivets are metal fasteners for joining sheet materials. In some cases they replace welding, while the structure looks neater.

Several types of rivets are used in construction:

• “under the hammer” — fasteners shaped as a cylinder with a head;
• blind rivets — longer fasteners in which a metal rod is threaded through the cylinder;
• threaded rivets — fasteners with thread cut inside the cylinder.

Product features

Construction rivets are made of metal: aluminium, copper or steel. The products are often coated with a layer of zinc for corrosion protection.

Rivets are small-sized products. The diameter rarely exceeds 10 mm, the length — 50 mm.

Application and installation rules

In construction, rivets are used for sheathing structure walls and securing metal profiles.

A standard hammer is used for installation (for standard rivets), or a special tool — a pneumatic gun. Before joining materials, holes are drilled in them, after which they are fastened with rivets.
