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.

No, these buttons are specifically designed for 10mm polycarbonate sheets.
These fixings are designed for timber rafters and may not provide the correct thread engagement for metal structures.
Yes, it is highly recommended to pre-drill a hole to prevent the polycarbonate from cracking under pressure.
Yes, each button assembly in the pack includes the required screw and protective cap.
This pack contains 10 individual fixing buttons.
The buttons are made from durable materials, but some minor weathering is normal after prolonged sun exposure.
Ensure the surface of the polycarbonate is flat and free of debris before tightening the screw.
You likely overtightened the screw or failed to pre-drill a hole larger than the screw shank; loosen slightly and ensure expansion gaps exist.
Check that the screw is driven in straight and the cap is fully pressed into the locking mechanism of the housing.
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.
