A project using Trespa meteon panels (13 mm).

I have difficult in finding the right fasteners for the panel to be connected to 1/8” aluminum extrusions. I have some questions:

I check the webiste of the panel, it seems the panel is made of thermoset resin and fibers but tensil and flexural strength is about 14 ksi (similr to Aluminum), E=1,300 ksi (1/20 of steel)
Does any body know what kind fasteners should be used for the connection of panel to aluminum or cold-formed steel? In my case, the fastener is from 1/8” aluminum extrusions to panel, so the fasteners should not be seen from outside.

Thanks.

I would consider rivets, adhesive, or clamping bar.
