Since its launch in 2012, Button-fix has built a phenomenal following within the construction and joinery trades, with its innovative design helping people to fix panels at lightning speed.
The story began when Tony Wills, Brian Watson and their design team developed Button-fix in response to a customer specification for flush invisible mounts to fix washroom panels. After finding that the panel fasteners on the market were awkward to align and difficult to disengage for panel replacement, they created and developed the Button-fix concept: a quick, easy-to-use and reliably accurate way of attaching panels to walls and other surfaces.
Part of the success of Button-fix is the fact that it largely goes unnoticed. It is the invisible fixing behind a truly diverse range of applications across many sectors – from large retail environments and hotels to landmark office receptions, auditoria, yacht interiors and office furniture.
Based in Farringdon, London, England the company proudly manufactures all its products in the UK and exports them across the world.
