Fastening KeraTwin K3 with invisible fastening onsupporting rails

Essential system advantages •Reliable budget planning•Great design scope thanks to a wide variety of sizes and colours•All glazed and unglazed surfaces of the facade design panels with Hydrotect coating•Rapid and safe mounting with well thought-out systemcomponents•Permits the combination with commercially available base constructions•Mitre-cut angles are possible, see page 25 The system KeraTwin K3 comprises KeraTwin facade panels, sup-porting rails optimized as regards application and all necessary fastening means. The system KeraTwin K3 was specially developed for the quick and simple, invisible fastening of large and small facades of new buildings and renovation projects. The system KeraTwin K3 is delivered completely to the con- struction site ex works. Separate deliveries of ceramics and substructures are possible if agreed in advance. System description The small-size facade panels KeraTwin K3 have grooves on theback and are simply hung in the supporting rails mounted in the grid. These supporting rails in turn are mounted on a commer- cially available vertical base construction by means of format- specific distance jigs (see page 41). This supporting rail is an integral part of the system KeraTwin K3 and precisely adjusted to the panel elements. It is of course optimized as regards application technique. The facade panels are secured by compression springs mounted in the vertical joint (nonrigid installation).

Therefore, only use the system components mentioned (foamed piece, EPDM rubber profile, neoprene rub- ber washer) and pointing, bonding and sealing materials recommended by us. We will be pleased to inform you in detail. The usual final cleaning after completion of the construction works is still required.
