For centuries, rivets have been allowing human invention and imagination to reach ever higher and further. Though small and unassuming, the components are crucial to many thousands of applications, from building skyscrapers and ships to making vehicles and renovating homes.
A rivet is a fastener that is used to provide a strong, secure hold between two plates. The word ‘plate’ here refers to any flat piece of material whatever it is made from, whether metal, wood or plastic and of whatever size. Rivets themselves are therefore available in many different sizes and styles to suit the required application. It is because they are so good at their job of securing things into place that the word ‘riveting’ has entered the language to mean you are pinned into place by boredom!
Joining two plates of material is a process that must be carefully considered, particularly with regard to their varying thickness. Getting the right size of rivet is crucial to a successful end result and we are always available here at BS Fixings to help navigate you through our selection. However demanding the environment is and whatever the details, Goebel rivets are guaranteed to offer the most professional performance.
