EZ Snap Fasteners

FastenersEZ-SNAP™ fasteners are a one of a kind, innovative product and are available at the Online Store. This amazing fastener system allows the average homeowner to install exterior shade screen on their home or RV, without specialized tools and with professional looking results.

 Once the female caps are pressed onto the pins, they hold tight and do not come off in even the strongest winds. But, should you have to move or reposition the mesh, the EZ Snap caps can be removed using a special release lever built into the cap. View the EZ SNAP Video on the home page.

NOTE: We recommend that fasteners are placed approximatley 12" apart.

 

 

Types of EZ Snap Fasteners


EZ Snap cap & pin set

The EZ Snap cap and pins are what make EZ Snap so easy to install. The male pin snaps onto what ever type of stud you have chosen ( adhesive or screw). Then once the pins are snapped onto the studs, you place your shading mesh over the pins. Then the female caps are pressed into place to lock the shading mesh into the pin.
 


Adhesive Studs with 3M™ super hold VHB adhesive

Adhesive Studs

Available in White, Beige & Black. The EZ Snap™ "peel & stick" studs are used when you don't want to drill into your window frames or R.V. The 3M™ VHB adhesive will stick to most clean and flat surfaces,(except wood). Click Here for video on 3M VHB adhesive.

They should be installed in warmer temperatures, preferably at least +15c/60F, but better yet is 21c/70F or warmer.

Note: They should be pressed into place with a minimum of 15 lbs of pressure. Click Here for install video.

Time Bond ChartThe chart to the right shows the approximate bonding time at room temperature. As you can see, time and temperature will significantly increase the bond strength of these type of studs. It is for this reason that we suggest that you place all of your adhesive studs first, allowing them more time to bond before you snap your product to them. Putting them on 24 hours before you install your shades is ideal.

Important: * Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure develops better adhesive contact and helps improve bond strength. Clean surface first with isopropyl alcohol to remove any film, dirt or oxidization. After 3M studs have been installed, wait a minimum of 60 minutes before you install the shading mesh, 24 hours is ideal.
 


Stainless Steel Studs (Self Tapping)

    The EZ Snap screw stud is made using stainless stain for long lasting, corrosion free performance. Although it can be used in any type of EZ Snap application, it is ideal for wooden window frames, were the 3M stud has trouble sticking long term. If you are using it into stucco, brick or concrete, made sure to order the screw stud with stucco kit when you check out. Click Here for an installation animation.


 


EZ Snap can now be mounted into stucco, brick or concrete using our new " Stucco kit" option. This is now an option you can choose during your check out process. The kit comes complete with your fasteners and anchors, as well as a high quality masonary bit to pre-drill your holes.
 
 



Removal Tool for EZ Snap Fasteners

Removal Tool

The removal tool above comes FREE in every order that contains a shade or RV skirting kit sold through the EZ Snap online store. This tool is used to remove your shades if you want to store them for the winter.

How to use:

Simply slide the prongs between the stud and the base of the pin. Pry the pin away from the stud until the pin unsnaps from the stud. The pin and cap stay locked together in the fabric, ready to be snapped back onto the stud again in the spring.

Many of our customers leave there EZ Snap shades up all year round as there is no need to remove them for winter, unless you want the heat from the sun to help warm your home.
