RoofZIPS – Designed by Buildex® they revolutionised the roofing industry with one screw type covering the majority of applications with superior performance. Often copied, never surpassed. Look for the original with the red stripe for a superior seal.

MetalTEKS – Once Buildex® launched the original TEKS® and proved their superior performance to the market, this term has become synonymous with self-drilling metal screws all over the world.

Headlok – Designed for securely fastening metal roofing and cladding profiles on buildings where unauthorised entry and safeguarding of property is of paramount importance, such as warehouses, defence installations or correctional facilities. Their totally unique head design ensures they can only be undone by the matching Buildex® security socket.

ShankGuard® – Patented corrosion protection of the fastener shank by preventing scratches and scours that can happen during installation and which would otherwise result in largely undetectable fastener corrosion underneath the roof, potentially resulting in structural damage.

HiGrip – An underhead thread that creates a positive join with the roof sheeting to prevent water entry and over drilling. It also stops the roof sheet moving down the shank when the roof is walked on, ensuring a water tight seal over time.

Colormatch™ – A powder-coated paint application process unique to Buildex® which produces a superior, durable, chip resistant finish when compared to the traditional “wet” paint systems. Designed to match the Colorbond® range of colours for an appealing and perfectly finished roofing or cladding surface – time after time.

Trade Packs – Buildex® packaging format that works FOR the installer on-site. Resealable to prevent spills, tough plastic that withstands wet conditions. Sized for flexibility depending on the job size, to easily handle in the van and on the roof.

Climaseal® – A further sign of market-leading innovation; Buildex® Climaseal® anticorrosion coatings not only meet but exceed the respective class requirements by extending testing in a laboaratory to real-world conditions with exposure to salt, wind, moisture and UV which severely impact standard fastener performance over time. Don’t let the fastener be the weakest link.

Cyclonic Assemblies – The Buildex® Roof-Lok® comes with over 50 years of design, fabrication and installation experience and is designed to secure both corrugated and square profile sheets in cyclonic conditions. Proven by the James Cook University, Cyclone Structural Testing Station to perform in the most severe Category 5 Cyclone of conditions. Who else would you trust to keep a roof over your head?
