Countersunk Blind Rivet

A countersunk blind rivet is a fastener designed mainly for facade work requiring an air gap. It consists of a sleeve and a rod element.

The sleeve is made of stainless or plain steel. Designs made of copper or aluminium are also found, as well as metals with subsequent zinc plating.

Applications

The rivet is used in professional construction and household applications. It can be installed where access to mounting points is limited. The countersunk design serves both a load-bearing and an aesthetic function.

Features

The rivet is corrosion-resistant. Material compatibility must be considered when selecting it. For joining aluminium parts, an aluminium rivet with a metal rod should be used. Zinc-plated steel rivets are needed for joining structural elements under load. For joining stainless steel structures, stainless steel rivets are used. Installing zinc-plated steel window sills requires painted zinc-plated rivets.
