FAQs

What size screws should I use?

The appropriate screw size will depend on the thickness of the polycarbonate sheet and the timber frame. It is best to consult with a hardware specialist for the correct screw size. Screws are not included.

Are the fixing buttons reusable?

Yes, but they may need to be replaced if damaged during removal. Handle them carefully to maintain their integrity.

Can I use these buttons with other types of sheets?

These buttons are designed for Polywall multiwall polycarbonate sheets. Compatibility with other sheet types is not guaranteed.

How many buttons do I need?

The number of buttons required will depend on the size and shape of the sheets, as well as the anticipated wind load. Refer to the sheet manufacturer's recommendations.

What material are the fixing buttons made from?

The buttons are made from a durable plastic material. The screw caps are also plastic.

What is the purpose of the plastic screw caps?

The screw caps provide a neat, finished appearance and help to protect the screw heads from corrosion. They also help to prevent water ingress.

Troubleshooting

The sheets are not securely fixed.

Check the screws are the correct length and are properly tightened. Ensure that the buttons are correctly aligned and that the timber frame is sound. Consider adding additional fixing buttons.

Water is leaking.

Verify the washers are correctly positioned, and the screws are tightened adequately without being overtightened. Check for any damage to the sheets or buttons.

The screw caps do not stay in place.

Ensure that the screws are not countersunk too deeply. Check that the screw caps are the correct size and are properly snapped into place.
