Surely you can cut off the protruding drillpoint of a fastener once it's installed, as it's done its job?🤔 ❌ Wrong ❌ Cutting the drillpoint off a fastener can severely reduce the pull-out performance, which in turn will invalidate the warranty.

🛍️ 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 #Fixfastcasestudy #facade #buildingenvelope #maximumreliability #Rockpanel #IKO #Kingspan #Marley
