Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on the Button-fix panel mounting system, highlighting its features, specifications, and installation procedures. It emphasizes the ease of use, strength, and versatility of the system for various applications.
Specifications: The Button-fix system includes different types of fixes and buttons designed for specific applications. The lime green button is used with Ø5mm countersunk wood screws, while the orange button is compatible with Ø6.2mm Euro screws. The Type 1 Fix is ideal for strong, secure connections between parallel panels, requiring a 15mm slide for engagement. The Type 2 Fix connects panels at 90° with a simple push/pull fit, focusing on ease of installation rather than strength.
Installation Procedures: The Type 1 Fix can be surface-mounted or rebated to reduce the gap between panels. The Type 1 Flush Fix is used for panel-to-panel contact and requires an oval rebate. The Type 1 Bonded Fix is suitable for applications where screw-fixing is not possible, using adhesives for bonding. Marker accessories are available for accurate alignment during installation.
Recommendations: For optimal performance, clean surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before applying adhesive. Use self-adhesive Fix-pads in a rebated configuration to prevent creep under loading. The document also suggests visiting the website for additional resources, including videos, load test reports, and CAD files.
Key Features: The Button-fix system supports various configurations, including face-to-face and 90° connections, drop-down or sideways engagement, and suitability for ceiling panels. It offers options for surface-mounted, semi-rebated, and fully rebated installations, with a minimum panel thickness requirement depending on the screw type used.
