BigHead’s Poppit® redefines “quick fit” in ceiling and wall panels fastening and demount, with exact alignment guaranteed.
The new Poppit® panel fastening system simplifies and speeds up the mounting of internal/external panels and cladding where instant demount may be required.
The adhesive-based procedure ‘de-skills’ installation and ensures exact alignment during positioning. The stainless steel ball clicks firmly into a female socket, moulded in high-impact polycarbonate/GRP; the jaws grip the ball to form a strong ball/socket joint. The male/female Poppits are glued to a panel at suitable intervals; adhesive is applied to the polycarbonate cap and the panel placed in position. BigHead’s own “BigBond” 2-part acrylic adhesive is recommended; support is required for 5-8 minutes, with a final cure of 45 minutes. To demount, a firm pull separates the joints; when re-attached, exact alignment is achieved automatically by “popping” the panel back into position. |
