How Hidden Fasteners Can Create Seamless Design: The Case of Commercial and Public Architecture
Highly desirable in contemporary projects, seamless surfaces symbolize the search for a unified and uninterrupted visual experience, without any noticeable gaps or interruptions. This simple and clean aesthetic demands meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing precision in craftsmanship and execution to achieve an immaculate and flawless finish.
In panel installations, a concealed fastener is a discreet fixing system designed to securely join panels, accessories, or components, remaining completely hidden upon completion, and allowing for this seamless aesthetic. Generally, the system comprises two integral parts –male and female components– which interlock, firmly fixing the panels or components together. The male portion is fixed to the back or frame of a panel, while the female counterpart is fixed to the substrate or an adjacent panel. Once fitted, the fastener disappears from view, providing a sleek, seamless surface, free of any visible screws or hardware, with the advantage of being easily removed and replaced. This allows for maintenance, repairs, or alterations without causing damage to the panels or surfaces
