Product Information

Full details

The PolyX Fixing Buttons are designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors who need a reliable way to secure 10mm polycarbonate sheets to timber structures. These fixings provide exceptional stability and a professional, watertight finish, ensuring your roofing panels remain securely in place under various weather conditions. While they are highly effective for preventing sheet slippage, they are specifically engineered for use with 10mm thick sheets, meaning they are not interchangeable with different panel thicknesses.

FAQs

Are these fixings suitable for 16mm sheets?

No, these buttons are specifically designed for 10mm polycarbonate sheets.

Can I use these on metal rafters?

These fixings are designed for timber rafters and may not provide the correct thread engagement for metal structures.

Do I need to drill the polycarbonate before fixing?

Yes, it is highly recommended to pre-drill a hole to prevent the polycarbonate from cracking under pressure.

Are the screws included?

Yes, each button assembly in the pack includes the required screw and protective cap.

How many buttons come in a pack?

This pack contains 10 individual fixing buttons.

Will the white color fade over time?

The buttons are made from durable materials, but some minor weathering is normal after prolonged sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

The fixing button is not sealing properly.

Ensure the surface of the polycarbonate is flat and free of debris before tightening the screw.

The polycarbonate sheet is cracking around the fixing.

You likely overtightened the screw or failed to pre-drill a hole larger than the screw shank; loosen slightly and ensure expansion gaps exist.

The button cap keeps popping off.

Check that the screw is driven in straight and the cap is fully pressed into the locking mechanism of the housing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ensures a professional, clean white finish
Prevents structural damage by evenly distributing pressure
Protects against water ingress at fixing points
Easy to install on standard timber rafters
Provides long-term security against sheet movement

Cons

Designed exclusively for 10mm polycarbonate sheets
Requires pre-drilling of sheets to avoid stress fractures
White finish may not match all color profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your timber rafters are clean and level. It is recommended to pre-drill a hole in the polycarbonate sheet that is slightly larger than the screw shank to allow for thermal expansion. Once the sheet is positioned, drive the fixing button through the sheet and into the timber until the cap is snug against the surface. Do not overtighten, as this can compress the PVC housing excessively. For maintenance, check the buttons annually to ensure the caps remain secure and that no debris has caused the seals to shift. If a cap becomes loose, simply ensure it is snapped firmly back into its housing.
