Button-fix is an easy, accurate and secure method of invisibly attaching panels, signage and objects to walls, ceilings and other surfaces.
The concept is simple: robust Buttons are attached to the back of one panel and the mating Fixes are attached to the other. Bring the panels together until the Button-fixes ‘click’. Button-fix is an excellent choice for shop fitting, furniture manufacture and signage applications
No unsightly screws or bolts
The Button-fix fix is completely invisible, and with no bolts or screws on show, installers can be confident of quickly achieving a fabulous flawless finish that their own clients will love.
Perfect alignment
Use the ingenious Marker accessory to quickly and accurately align the Button-fix installation. No need for a tape measure or for guesswork.
Incredibly strong
The strength of Button-fix has been extensively and independently tested. Check out our stress testing reports for load bearing properties.
Button-fix has several uses, one of which is for van conversions and re-fits. Phil, Technical Manager for Button-fix says that, “Any panel on the wall or ceiling required to be removeable for service access can be fixed with a Type 1 Button-fix. Anything requiring very frequent removal or reconfiguring might be best using Type 1 Metal Button-fix for its strength and good detent life. Type 2 are useful for smaller push-on panels within cupboards or plinths but should not be used on ceiling panels. I would also consider the need to ensure that ceiling panels, in particular, are ‘locked’ or trapped in situ, to avoid detachment due to acceleration, deceleration or severe bumps”.
A classic example of Button-fix in use is for banquette seating in boats, yachts and ferries, but are also used by coachbuilders for horse boxes and other recreational vehicles.
A good case study is Tim Brotherton’s van. Tim used Button-fix to attach interior panels to the shell of the van. In this case it is an upholstered panel but commonly they are hard, plywood panels for decoration or protection. Panels need to be removable to access electrics or fittings such as water pumps that might be concealed behind. We have more examples of how customers have used Button-fix to create storage for tools and work materials within their vans.
For those transporting goods such as furniture, or using internal frames to carry or support motorcycles or other vehicles in vans, it is recommended that you use Button-fix Type 1 Metal rebated into plywood flooring. These fixes will not disengage even on the bumpiest roads.
