Did you know that the wrong fastener material can lead to corrosion - and ultimately the fastener could fail? 🫥 Fasteners are not repairable or replaceable, so they must be selected to last the lifetime of the building they are used in. But what fastener material should you use for which environment? Learn more with our Skills Hub article: https://buff.ly/3XIvUVU #SkillsHub #fastener #bestpractice

It's finally here! 📣 We're pleased to announce that our updated fastener specification guide is NOW available! Fasteners are a small detail - but the truth that they can have a large impact on a project is often overlooked. 🔎 It'd be fair to say that fastener specification today is more critical than ever. That's why we've broken it down into a specification guide focused on fasteners, specifically for you. 🫵 Curious?

It's Monday again - here's to another great week.🌅 Sam Jones, one of our Logistics Facilitators, has some inspiration to set our week up right: "Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves" - Bruce Lee 🌠 #teamFixfast #motivationalmonday #quote

📷 Northgate Yard 📌 Bridgwater, Somerset The construction of the mixed-use leisure and retail development at Northgate Yard in Bridgwater was part of a larger regeneration project for the local area, led by the community and district council. A real demonstration of creativity was shown in the façade panels used - the South-West's premier roofing and cladding contractor progressive were contracted for the building envelope construction, utilising different systems on the retail units and cinema. We were able to supply progressive with low profile, lacquered DrillFast fasteners colour-matched exactly to the colourful blend of different façade panels - within our standard fast turnaround of 2-3 working days. 🚚 "Northgate Yard was a fantastic project for us...Fixfast's two-day turnaround on high-quality, lacquered fasteners not only ensured we stayed on schedule but also gave us confidence in the durability and finish of the installation" - James Rayner, Director at progressive (credits to progressive for the photos) #Fixfastcasestudy #facade #buildingenvelope #maximumreliability #Rockpanel #IKO #Kingspan #Marley

Who remembers Ventra Supplies? 🙋 Way back in 2010 the Carrons merged Ventra Supplies with Fixfast, bringing the V-seal flashing range into the comprehensive Fixfast range we still offer today. That means both Jon Carron and Lee Carron have been working at Fixfast for 14 years - happy work anniversary both! 🎊 They're an integral part of Team Fixfast, and we certainly couldn't do without them. 🤝 Know either of them, or both? Give them a like if you do.👍 #teamFixfast #workanniversary #decency
