When constructing furniture, cladding reception desks or adding sides to kitchen cabinets, and panel-to-panel contact is required, Type 1 Flush is the recommended Button-fix.
It fits a simple oval rebate and can be fully recessed into the face of a panel of at least 18mm thick or the edge of a panel of at least 28mm thick. Thanks to its narrow profile, Type 1 Flush is also highly suitable for attaching slats or fins onto feature walls, or for surface-mounting onto firring strips above ceiling panels.

When you require a strong yet demountable connection between panels with no gap between them, Type 1 Flush is the ideal choice.
Typical uses include:

Wall panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = 100 kg max.
Ceiling panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = 100 kg max.
- Advice on panel loads is given with the proviso that the screws and substrate are properly matched, and all other instructions complied with. For critical applications it is essential to perform your own tests.
- When using Type 1 Flush rebated into a ceiling panel, allowances should be made for the shorter effective length of the screws and their reduced pull-out strength.

Nylon Type 1 Buttons can be produced in custom colours, such as charcoal grey (to match the Fix) or white. The Type 1 Button can also be turned in metal, for example, 316 stainless steel for marine applications. Contact us directly for pricing and minimum order quantities.
When attaching Type 1 Buttons to panels less than 15mm thick, or back-to-back on an 18mm panel, use the orange Button. They are designed for Ø6.2mm Varianta Euro screws, which require a Ø5mm pilot hole in the panel.
The regular glass-filled nylon Button to connect to the original Type 1, Type 1 Flush or Type 1 Bonded Fixes. Use with Ø5mm CSK wood screws (for panels at least 15mm thick) or M5 machine screws.
The Button Marker for both Type 1 and Type 3 helps to quickly and accurately align the Button-fix installation, reducing the need for measuring and marking out. Simply snap a marker into each Fix, then position the panel and press firmly. The indents mark where the Buttons go.
The Multijig helps when machining the oval recesses required for rebated configurations of Button-fix. It is made from clear acrylic, so that you can see the workpiece below, and has printed guide marks. For rebating Type 1, Type 1 Flush, Type 1 Bonded and Type 1 Metal Fixes.
The Type 1 Button-fix connects parallel panels where the emphasis is on strength, and is recommended when the panels are carrying cantilevered loads such as shelving.
For hanging thin materials such as solid grade laminate, solid surface (Corian®, Hanex®, etc.), glass, metal or stone, Type 1 Bonded Button-fix is the best solution.
Whether it is in transport environments, subject to vibration and shock loads, or for fire-rated ceiling panels, the Type 1 Metal Button-fix is the high-performance choice.
Its 90° connection and straight push-on engagement make the Type 2 Button-fix the recommended choice for access panels and boxing-in services.
Like the original Type 2, they connect panels at 90° or to a frame. But their more compact installation depth allows the Button to be fitted to the edge of an aperture in an 18mm (3/4”) panel – ideal for a service access window.
The push-on/pull-off engagement of the Type 3 Button-fix couldn't be simpler, and is ideal when there is no clearance around the panel.
