Invisible attachment of façade panels KEIL says that its undercut anchor opens up the opportunity of invisibly attaching façade panels to ventilated rainscreens. This provides more freedom of design whilst making installation and replacement of façade panels even easier.
V
entilated rainscreens are frequently used for buildings. The flexible design possibilities available to the architect and also the simple construction and installation of the façade are key contributors to the popularity of this technique. Using the undercut technology developed by KEIL allows façade panels to be attached without visible fixings and also replaced without problems. KEIL points out that this purely mechanical fixing of the façade panels using the undercut technology has been approved for various materials and is extremely easy to handle in use. This leads to time savings with low usage of material. More than 1,000 buildings have been constructed worldwide using this intelligent fixing technology, among them distinctive designs such as the Museum of Liverpool and the Danish TV station in Copenhagen.
