Thinking about using aluminium rivets? That's often a smart move. At Nuote Metals, we make them, and we know a thing or two about why they work so well. They come in three main types: solid, semi-tubular (half-hollow), and fully hollow. Each one fits a different kind of job.
Solid aluminium rivets are the toughest. You pound them into place for a super-strong, permanent joint—think bridges or heavy frames. Semi-tubular rivets are our most popular kind. They have a small hole at the tip, so they're easier to set with a machine and still very strong. They're perfect for assembling things like machinery or furniture. Fully hollow rivets are the handy ones. You can install them from just one side with a simple tool, which is a lifesaver when you can't reach the back.
The big win with aluminium rivets, in any style, is their weight and corrosion resistance. They're much lighter than steel and won't rust. Steel is stronger but heavy and can corrode. Plastic is light and cheap, but it snaps easily and can't take heat.
So, whether you need brute strength, fast assembly, or one-side installation, there's an aluminium rivet that fits. At Nuote Metals, we make all three types to high standards, so you get a reliable part every time. Need help choosing? Get in touch.
