Copper disc rivets are the standard fixing used when laying fibre cement slates, and for good reason. The wide, flat disc head distributes load across the slate face rather than concentrating it at a small point, which matters when you are working with a material that can crack under stress. Get the fixing wrong and you are back on the roof sooner than anyone wants to be.
These rivets are manufactured from solid copper, which is exactly what you need in a roofing application. Copper does not rust, does not stain the slate below it, and has been the material of choice for roofing fixings for generations. There is no clever substitute that does the job as reliably in a wet, exposed environment over a thirty-year lifespan.
Where Copper Disc Rivets Are Used
Fibre cement slates are commonly specified on new build and replacement roofing projects across the UK. They are a popular alternative to natural slate where budget or weight is a consideration, but they do require fixings that are matched to the material. Standard nails will not do it. Copper disc rivets sit flush against the slate surface, securing it against wind lift without cracking the face.
They are typically used in conjunction with copper nails or clips depending on the specification, but the disc rivet is what holds the tail of the slate down in a double-lap installation. Roofers working to manufacturer guidelines will find these listed as a required fixing on most fibre cement slate specifications.
Available in box quantities from 100 up to 10,000, so whether you are doing a small dormer or pricing a full roof, you can order what you actually need and take advantage of the better pricing at higher quantities.
Pro Tip: Always check the fibre cement slate manufacturer's fixing specification before ordering, as recommended rivet shank diameter and length can vary between brands and slate thicknesses.
