Sealed Rivets, also known as closed-end rivets, are designed to create a strong, reliable, and watertight fastening solution. Unlike open-end rivets, these rivets feature a fully closed body that prevents liquid, air, or pressure from passing through, making them the preferred choice in waterproofing and pressurised applications.

Sealed rivets are commonly applied in:

• Roofing and cladding projects
• Water tanks and plumbing systems
• Aluminium windows and frames
• Metal fabrication, fibreglass, timber, and plastic assemblies

Key Features of Closed-End Rivets

• Water and Pressure Tight
  Ideal for environments where sealing against moisture or air is critical.
• Superior Strength
  Compared to open-end standard rivets of the same size and material, sealed rivets deliver better shear and tensile performance.
• Permanent and Secure
  During installation, the rivet body expands to lock materials firmly in place, ensuring long-lasting durability.
• Versatile and Cost-Effective
  A fast, easy-to-use, and economical fastening method suitable for thin sheet metals, composites, and other materials.

Key Advantages

• Enhanced pin retention for extra reliability
• Sealed on one side to eliminate leaks
• Lightweight aluminium-steel construction
