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.
- Each 30mm Poppit supports 2 kgs.
- For a 10kgs metre-square panel, 3x3 rows or 4x4 rows of Poppits are recommended.
- The safety factor with 3x3 rows is 18:10 (1.8:1) and with 4x4 rows is 32:10 (3.2:1).
- Further versions will offer higher performance by using a larger ball, and there will also be a 20mm range.
- Stainless or mild steel versions are available.
- The system includes spacer mouldings, to bridge voids between panels and walls/ceilings up to 50mm.
- Standard heights (including Poppit assembly) are 20mm, 30mm, 40mm and 50mm; bespoke lengths incur a tooling charge.
- An anti-vibration strut complete with damper pad helps control resonance problems on larger panels.
