Solid rivets are one-piece fasteners driven with a hammer or rivet gun, offering high mechanical strength and reliability. Open end rivets, also known as blind rivets, are designed for applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible.
Sealed rivets, also referred to as closed-end rivets, are ideal for applications that require liquid-tight and pressure-tight seals. They feature a unique cup-shaped end that prevents liquid or gas from passing through the fastener.
Large flange rivets provide a wider surface area under the head, which distributes clamping pressure across a broader space. This is highly effective for fastening soft, brittle, or thin materials to prevent pull-through or deformation.
Countersunk rivets are chosen for a flush-mount finish. They fit into pre-drilled countersunk holes so the rivet head remains flat with the surface, minimizing aerodynamic drag and avoiding mechanical interference.
Peel rivets split into separate "petals" or legs upon installation. This action creates a large bearing surface on the blind side, making them perfect for plastics, wood, and composite materials that need gentle but secure clamping.
