Stainless steel dome rivets are a premium type of pop rivet, offering a neat, slightly raised dome-shaped finish after installation. Renowned for their exceptional corrosion resistance, these dome rivets are perfect for demanding environments and outdoor use.
They deliver superior strength and durability, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications like marine equipment, industrial machinery, and structural projects. Easy to install with a standard pop rivet gun, our stainless steel dome rivets provide a secure and enduring fastening.
Using Blind Rivets
The rivet has a stem called a mandrel. The mandrel is inserted into a rivet gun and the protruding body of the rivet is then pushed into the hole and through the materials that are being fastened. The mandrel is then pulled back, forcing the sides of the rivet to expand outwards. When the rivet can expand no further the mandrel snaps off, leaving a neat and tidy finish on both surfaces.
Blind rivets are also available in other head designs including countersunk, large flange, sealed and triform – each in a range of finishes.
