Button-fix™ Type 3 - Fix + Button: The Ultimate Push-On Concealed Panel Connector

The Button-fix™ Type 3 Fix + Button. This clever, push-on/pull-off fastener system delivers a secure, invisible fixing for parallel panels, making it the top choice for professionals seeking a high-strength, easy-access solution. Ideal for wall panels, ceiling panels, acoustic panels, and upholstery, the Type 3 is engineered for installations where zero-clearance access is essential.

Product Applications (Why Buy This?)

Acoustic Panels: Quickly and securely mount acoustic foam or acoustic felt panels for easy removal and access.
Wall Cladding: Create seamless, invisible wall panelling in commercial and residential spaces.
Upholstery & Joinery: Perfect for bed headboards, banquette seating, and removable furniture components.
Access Panels: Provides quick access to services (plumbing, electrics, IT) concealed behind decorative panels.
Irregular Panels: Exceptional for boat interiors and other projects with tight, irregular geometries.
Lightweight Ceiling Panels: Strong and reliable for horizontal applications (up to 10kg per 4-Fix panel).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How strong is the Button-fix™ Type 3?
A: Four Type 3 Fixes can safely support a vertical wall panel of up to 60kg (132 lbs), provided appropriate screws and substrate are used. For ceiling or horizontal panels, the guide load is 10kg per four Fixes.

Q: Can I use the Type 3 when I have no space to slide the panel?
A: Absolutely. The Type 3 is specifically designed for straight push-on/pull-off engagement, making it the ideal solution for panels in tight corners, end-of-run sections, or when there is no side clearance.

Q: Do I need a special tool for installation?
A: While a standard 25mm Forstner bit can be used for the semi-recessed fix, the Button-fix Marker (sold separately) is highly recommended. It guarantees quick and accurate alignment of the Buttons on the second panel, eliminating the need for complex measuring.

Q: What is the difference between surface-mounted and semi-recessed installation?
A: Surface-mounted is faster and creates an 8mm gap between the panel and the wall. Semi-recessed requires rebating the Fix into the panel for a smaller, cleaner 3mm gap.

Q: Can I use a Type 3 and a Type 1 on the same installation?
A: Yes. The Type 3 is engineered to have the same installation depth as the Type 1, allowing you to use them seamlessly on adjacent panels, typically using the Type 3 in sections where sliding is impossible.
