Modern rivets or welding?

A short guide to joining methods used in roof hardware production.

Joining technology has a direct impact on the durability, repeatability, and corrosion resistance of roof hardware.

Welding is a proven method, but it requires careful process control and appropriate surface protection after production. Modern riveting solutions can also provide strong, repeatable connections when selected and applied correctly.

The best method depends on the product structure, expected load, material thickness, and the corrosion protection process. In roof hardware, the joining method must support both mechanical strength and long-term resistance to weather conditions.
