Blind Rivets for Sheet Metal, Roofing, Cladding and Ventilation

Blind rivets for practical fastening across multiple applications

Unite blind rivets cover a broad product family for sheet metal fastening where the right combination of material, grip range, head format and installation detail matters. The range includes standard open blind rivets, large-head variants, sealed blind rivets, multigrip options and more specialised alternatives for applications such as ventilation work.

For project selection, it is important to compare rivet material, grip range, head diameter and whether the detail calls for an open, sealed or multigrip design. The catalogue below provides the full range logic, while this page helps you understand the main subfamilies and where each one fits.

In this blind rivet range

Open blind rivets

Our open blind rivets form the core of this product family and are a practical choice for general sheet metal fastening. This is often the right place to start when you want to compare common diameters, grip ranges and head diameters for everyday fabrication and installation work.

Review our standard open blind rivet range, dimensions and grip ranges in the catalogue.

Large-head blind rivets

Our large-head blind rivets are designed for applications where the fastening detail benefits from a wider head than a standard open rivet. They give you a more targeted option when head format is an important part of the selection.

Compare our large-head blind rivet variants and listed dimensions in the catalogue.

Extra-large-head blind rivets

Our extra-large-head blind rivets provide an even wider head format for applications where standard and large-head alternatives are not enough. This part of the range helps you review wider-head options more clearly and choose the right rivet for the fastening detail.

See our extra-large-head blind rivet variants and compare the available sizes in the catalogue.

Stainless steel blind rivets

Our stainless steel blind rivets are a strong option when material choice is a key part of the fastening decision. This range makes it easier to compare stainless alternatives directly when the application or environment calls for them.

Review our stainless steel blind rivets and their listed dimensions in the catalogue.

Aluminium blind rivets

Our aluminium blind rivets are grouped separately to make material selection easier when an all-aluminium solution is the right fit. This gives you a clearer way to compare them on their own rather than treating them as a small variation within the wider range.

Compare our aluminium blind rivets and their grip ranges in the catalogue.

Sealed blind rivets

Our sealed blind rivets are intended for applications where a tighter fastening detail is needed than with a standard open rivet. This range includes both aluminium and stainless options so you can choose the right sealed variant for the job.

See our sealed blind rivet options and compare the listed variants in the catalogue.

Multigrip blind rivets

Our multigrip blind rivets are a practical choice when you want wider grip coverage and a more flexible selection across varying material build-ups. This part of the range also includes a ventilation-related option, making it especially relevant for ductwork and similar applications.

Review our multigrip blind rivets and compare the listed range details in the catalogue.

Steel and copper blind rivets

Our blind rivet range also includes steel and copper variants for jobs where the rivet material needs to be selected more deliberately. This broadens the family beyond the most common aluminium-based options and gives you more flexibility across different applications.

Compare our steel and copper blind rivet variants in the catalogue.

Split rivets

Our split rivets complete this part of the rivet range and make the page more useful for customers who want to review related fastening options alongside standard blind rivets. They help give a fuller overview of the family and its adjacent product types.

Need help choosing the right blind rivet for the job?

Choosing the right blind rivet is rarely only about diameter. You often need to compare material combination, grip range, head format and whether the job calls for an open, sealed or multigrip solution.

Talk to Unite if you want help narrowing down the right blind rivet family, reviewing catalogue options or discussing a practical fastening solution for your project.

What types of blind rivets are included in this range?

Our blind rivet range includes standard open blind rivets, large-head blind rivets, extra-large-head blind rivets, stainless steel blind rivets, aluminium blind rivets, sealed blind rivets, multigrip blind rivets, steel blind rivets, copper blind rivets and split rivets.

That gives this product family a broad scope and makes the page useful both for general blind rivet searches and for more specific product selection within the same range.

When is a standard open blind rivet the right place to start?

A standard open blind rivet is often the best starting point for general sheet metal fastening. It is a practical choice when you want to compare common diameters, grip ranges and head sizes for everyday fabrication and installation work.

If the fastening detail later points towards a wider head, a sealed design or wider grip coverage, it then makes sense to move into the more specialised parts of our range.

What is the difference between large-head and extra-large-head blind rivets?

Both are open blind rivets, but they are intended for applications where the head format needs more attention than with a standard rivet. A large-head blind rivet gives you a wider head than a standard option, while an extra-large-head variant is relevant when an even broader head format is needed.

This makes it easier to choose the right blind rivet for the fastening detail instead of focusing only on diameter and grip range.

When should I choose stainless steel blind rivets?

Our stainless steel blind rivets are relevant when the material choice is an important part of the fastening decision. They are a strong option when the application, surrounding materials or service environment make a stainless rivet the more suitable choice.

In those cases, it is worth comparing the stainless alternatives directly rather than starting with a more standard blind rivet and adjusting later.

Why are aluminium blind rivets presented as their own group?

Because the rivet material itself can be a deciding factor. By treating aluminium blind rivets as their own part of the range, we make it easier to compare them clearly when an all-aluminium solution is the right fit.

That gives buyers, fabricators and installers a clearer structure when material choice is part of the requirement, not just rivet size.

What is a sealed blind rivet used for?

A sealed blind rivet is the better choice when the fastening detail calls for a tighter solution than a standard open blind rivet. It is a practical option when the design of the rivet itself matters to the performance of the finished fastening.

Our sealed blind rivet range includes both aluminium and stainless alternatives, giving you more flexibility when selecting the right sealed option for the job.

What does multigrip mean in this blind rivet range?

Within this product family, multigrip refers to blind rivets designed to cover a wider grip interval than a more narrowly stepped standard alternative. That can make selection more efficient when material build-ups vary and you want broader usable coverage from fewer rivet references.

It is a practical solution for installers who want more flexibility across changing thicknesses without overcomplicating the selection process.

Do you offer blind rivets for ventilation-related applications?

Yes. Our blind rivet range includes a ventilation-related option within the multigrip section, which makes this family relevant not only for roofing and cladding work, but also for ductwork and similar sheet metal applications.

That gives the range broader practical value across different installation environments.

Can you supply painted blind rivets?

Yes. We keep the most common painted blind rivets in stock in a broad range of colours and can also support additional colour matching linked to Scandinavian sheet manufacturer colour systems.

This is especially useful when the visible fastening detail should work visually with the surrounding roofing or cladding instead of standing out unnecessarily.

Is this page intended to show every blind rivet variant?

No. This page is designed as a product-family overview. Its purpose is to explain the structure of the range, highlight the most important blind rivet types and make it easier to navigate the family as a whole.

The catalogue viewer above is where visitors can compare the deeper assortment in more detail, and we can also help guide the selection when a project requires something more specific.

Do you also offer blind rivet tools?

Yes. This part of our range also includes blind rivet tools, making it easier to review both the rivets and the installation equipment in the same place.

That is useful for customers who want a more complete fastening solution rather than looking at rivets in isolation.

How do I choose the right blind rivet?

The right blind rivet is usually chosen by comparing material, grip range, head format and whether the application is better served by an open, sealed or multigrip design.

It is also important to consider whether the job calls for a stainless, aluminium, steel or copper variant, and whether the visible fastening detail should match the surrounding material more closely.
