Ultimate Flush Panel Fixing: Button-fix™ - Type 1 - Flush Fix + Button for CSK Wood Screw

Unlock the secret to a flawless, professional finish with the genuine Button-fix™ Type 1 Flush Fix and Button for CSK Wood Screw. This award-winning, concealed panel fixing system is the ultimate solution for joiners, fitters, and furniture manufacturers seeking a strong, secure, and fully removable face-to-face panel connection with zero visible gap.

Key Features & Benefits

Invisible Fastening: Achieve a perfect flush finish with no visible fixings or unsightly gaps. Ideal for premium interior design and modern architecture.
Superior Strength & Security: Engineered from a durable, high-performance 30% glass-filled Nylon PA6, providing exceptional strength and rigidity for panels, even those carrying cantilevered loads like shelving. Reliable panel attachment guaranteed.
Rapid Installation & Fitter Friendly: The unique "slide & click" engagement mechanism makes installation significantly faster and easier than traditional panel hanging methods like split battens or cleats. Save time and labour on-site.
Fully Demountable: Panels can be quickly and easily removed for access to services, maintenance, or replacement, offering unmatched versatility and accessibility.
Versatile Mounting: Can be fully rebated into the edge of panels (28mm+ thick) or the face (18mm+ thick) to achieve a seamless flush panel connection. Supports both vertical (drop-down) and sideways engagement.
UK Manufactured: Proudly Made in the UK, assuring you of premium quality and reliability.
Optimal for CSK Wood Screws: The included lime green Button is perfectly sized for standard Ø5mm Countersunk (CSK) Wood Screws (screws not included), ensuring a secure and solid fit (for panels 15mm+ thick).

Typical Applications

This is the must-have hidden panel connector for:

Custom Furniture Construction: Cabinets, removable drawer fronts, bespoke shelving units, and carcasses.
Interior Fit-Outs: Reception and bar counter cladding, feature walls, media walls, and acoustic panels.
Commercial & Exhibition Stands: Quick-assembly, high-strength displays and stand construction.
Slatted Walls & Ceilings: Achieving a perfect, strong, and even spacing for timber slats.
Upholstered Panels: Secure attachment of headboards and banquette seating.

? Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How much weight can the Button-fix Type 1 Flush support?
A: When correctly installed using appropriate screws and substrate, a vertical panel secured with four Type 1 Flush Fixes can typically support up to 100kg (220lbs). Always perform your own load tests for critical applications.

Q: Do I need special tools to install this fixing?
A: You will need a router to create the simple oval rebate for the Fix (Dimensions: 22 x 56 x 8.1mm). The Button-fix Marker Tool (sold separately) is highly recommended for precise, blind fixing and alignment without measuring.

Q: Can I use the Type 1 Flush for panels thinner than 18mm?
A: The Fix requires at least 18mm of panel thickness for a fully recessed, flush-fit installation into the panel face. For thinner panels, consider the Button-fix Type 1 Bonded (adhesive) solution or a surface-mounted application (which will leave an 8mm gap).

Q: What screws should I use with the included Button?
A: The lime green Button is designed for use with Ø5mm Countersunk (CSK) Wood Screws. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for your panel thickness (minimum 25mm long recommended for the Fix).
