Snap-Caps Dimensions

With 96 colours and your choice of Gloss or Matt finishes (all held in stock in the UK), Snap-Caps can match 1000’s of materials, including laminates, composite panels, paints, fabrics, powdercoats & vinyls used in the UK – making Snap-Caps a very cost-effective way to not just hide, but also protect your fixings.

The Snap-Cap washer is available to suit either Countersunk screws, or for any of the ‘Flat-Bottom’ fixings (such as pan-head screws).
Using the correct washer type will support your fixing properly, giving improved clamping performance and prevent the screw distorting the washer – crucial to why genuine Snap-Caps are the ONLY cover caps that COMPLETELY seal the head of the fixing.

This table indicates some of the different types and sizes of fixings that can be used with Snap-Caps. It is by no means definitive, and there are numerous examples of imported fixings that are sized differently enough to not fit. If you have any additions to this table, or disagree with any information, please contact US.

The fixing is secured through the washer into the workpiece. The cap is then “snapped” over the washer, mating by means of an interlocking peripheral groove and flange. This provides an airtight and seal that excludes atmosphere and protects the fastener head from rust and corrosion.

Snap-Caps are manufactured in Polypropylene. All materials used are ‘food-grade’ quality.
