Fastmount: The panel mounting system professionals specify
Fastmount is a professional panel mounting system specified by architects, millworkers, designers, and installers across 80+ countries, delivering concealed fixings, tool free removal, and precision alignment that conventional alternatives cannot match.
Twenty years of performance where failure is not an option
Fastmount was originally developed for the superyacht industry. That origin is significant because superyachts demand precision that most manufacturing environments never approach. Every panel must sit perfectly, hold reliably in constant motion and salt air, and be accessible for service without specialist tools or damage to the finish.
Over two decades, those same standards have been applied across commercial architecture, aviation, furniture, marine, and recreational vehicle manufacturing. Fastmount is now specified across 500+ boatyards in 40 countries, and on projects ranging from airline lounges and luxury hotels to high end residential interiors.
For professionals who need exemplary output, and can’t afford delays and installation problems, Fastmount guarantees excellence every time.
What you gain by choosing Fastmount
The difference between traditional Z clips and Fastmount’s specifically engineered range of clips goes beyond the product itself and into the broader system of benefits they deliver. Faced with a choice between the two, the advantages of Fastmount’s range becomes immediately clear.
Ability to remove any panel, in any order, without tools
With Fastmount, any individual panel can be removed at any time, in any sequence, without affecting the panels around it. The process requires no tools and carries no risk of damage to the panel face, the clips, or the substrate.
Z clips need sequential removal. To reach a single central panel, you often have to take down every adjacent panel first. In a commercial environment with regular maintenance requirements or service access behind walls that difference in time and disruption adds up quickly.
Faster installation and built-in alignment
Fastmount clips are self-aligning meaning panels snap into place without the careful measuring and adjustment that Z clips demand. Some models offer up to 360-degree rotational adjustment, which is particularly useful on complex layouts or where substrate conditions are not perfectly consistent.
Because panels are fully CAD-compatible, they can also be prepared and pre-fitted off site, then installed on the day. With Z clips, even a small error in clip placement results in visible gaps that require time consuming corrections on site. That is a risk that compounds on large or complex projects.
A clean result, every time
Fastmount delivers fully concealed fixings regardless of installation complexity. There is no visible hardware, no exposed clip, and no finish disruption where additional fixings have been added for security.
With Z clips, exposed hardware is a common outcome wherever installation errors occur or extra fixings are needed. Achieving a clean result relies heavily on installer precision. Fastmount removes that dependency.
An unparalleled range by Fastmount
Fastmount offers eight dedicated product ranges — Standard, Low Profile, Very Low Profile, Stratlock® for heavy panels, SLX, Metal, Textile, and Panel Control — along with fire-rated clips and a dedicated ceiling panel safety restraint system (PanelSafe). That breadth means a single system can be specified across a full project, regardless of panel material, thickness, or weight.
Using multiple suppliers or systems for different parts of the same job introduces complexity, inconsistency, and additional coordination. Fastmount’s proven system avoids all of that.
Product available when and where your project needs it
Fastmount operates across more than 80 countries with an established US distribution network. Product is available when and where it is needed, without long lead times or import uncertainty on time sensitive projects.
Technical support that comes with the product
Specification assistance, design guidance, and installation training are all available from Fastmount directly. A global consultant network is on hand for project specific requirements, including complex or high specification work where off-the-shelf advice is not enough.
This level of support is not typically available from Z-clip suppliers. On a technically demanding project, that gap is significant.
Projects that demonstrate the advantage of choosing Fastmount
The case studies below represent a cross-section of the work Fastmount has been trusted on. Each one reflects a different set of requirements, but in each case, the result was only possible because the fastening system could meet the demands of the project.
McMullen & Wing, Big Fish — Marine
An award-winning superyacht built for luxury cruising in the world’s most remote seas, where Fastmount was used throughout the interior. The vessel went on to win Best Motor Yacht at the International Superyacht Society Awards, Best Naval Architecture at the ShowBoats Design Awards, and Most Innovative Yacht Design at the Boating Asia Awards.
Gucci, Schiphol Airport & Milan Malpensa — Commercial Architectural
Fastmount’s Stratlock® Range was specified to mount lattice-detail marble panels across Gucci’s airport storefronts in Rotterdam and Milan, chosen for its load-bearing capability, installation flexibility, and ability to allow panel removal for future store redesigns without disruption to the finish.
Elwood House, Melbourne — Residential Architectural
A geometric timber veneer feature wall extending floor-to-ceiling and across the ceiling of a residential renovation in Melbourne, achieved without sequential installation constraints and with full removability retained throughout.
Kidwell Fabrications, Maine — Furniture
A boutique furniture studio needed to produce the Garner Sofa with no visible hardware and full panel removability. The Very Low Profile Range delivered a finish the studio could not achieve through any other fastening method.
