The roof rivet extends the GESIPA blind rivet portfolio with a fastener that has been specially designed for metal work on roofs or in other outdoor areas. The special feature of roof rivets is that they are easy to solder. Roof blind rivets are available in the material combinations copper-bronze, steel-steel, copper-steel and nickel-plated stainless steel. The stainless steel roof rivets can be welded using the TIG welding process. Roof rivets are particularly suitable for very thin materials such as guttering or downpipes. Roof blind rivets can be processed with any available GESIPA blind riveting tool.
