Description
Copper Disc Rivets are high-quality roofing fixings used to secure fibre cement roof slates, asbestos cement slates (where existing roofs are being repaired), and natural slate (stone) roofing. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant copper, they provide long-lasting performance and are widely specified for slate roofing systems throughout South Africa.
Used together with copper or stainless steel slate nails, the disc rivet restrains the lower edge of each slate, helping prevent wind uplift while allowing the slate to expand and contract naturally during temperature changes. The large copper disc distributes pressure evenly across the slate, reducing the risk of cracking or pull-through.
Copper disc rivets are commonly used on Marley Alterna Fibre Cement Slates, older Nutec and Everite fibre cement/asbestos cement slates, and natural slate roofing systems. They are suitable for both new installations and repair work, making them an essential accessory for roofing contractors and maintenance professionals.
Note: When repairing older asbestos cement slate roofs, the existing slates should only be handled in accordance with applicable asbestos safety regulations.
