Fixing of Facade Panels Invisible is convertible Ventilated facades with puristical, form accentuated design are still trendy. No wonder. Thanks to the under construction the shell of the building can be transformed into a fascinating design object by covering with high-class facade panels. The architect’s creativity has almost no limits. Realizing such facades only becomes possible by a fastening system with completely invisible fixing points on the panels. No disturbing fixing points on the panels. For decades KEIL is one of the leading manufacturers of innovated fixing solutions.. As an expert for innovative undercut technology with thousands of successfully finalized projects is this enterprise located in Engelskirchen Beautiful facade – behind that is KEIL. The potential of the undercut technology has early been realized by KEIL and essentially pushed forward in the past decades. Though the technique is as simple as genius. Using the patented drilling system a drill hole which is expanded at the drillgound does not break though the panel is made at the backside of the facade panel. After drilling the KEIL undercut facade anchor is set which guaranties a form-locking and straddling pressure free fixing. In one single working step the undercut anchor is set and the agraffe is mounted. When the panel is fixed to the agraffe it can be directly hang on the ventilated under construction. The advantages are obvious: With the hidden undercut facade anchor the aesthetic of the facade panel remains free from visible drill holes and other disturbing elements. Open for more freedom of design. The undercut technology is preferred by many architects when they realize ideas of curtain-wall ventilated facades because the fixing technology offers unlimited possibilities of design. No matter if open or closed joints, elegant, traditional, modern, filigrane or free-spirited – even venturous facade drafts can be realized. And all this without any visible fixing points. The KEIL undercut facade anchor goes with almost all types of panel material no matter if ceramics, fine stone, natural stone, fiber cement, mineral raw materials, glass fiber concrete, plastics/HPL, glass ceramics, artificial stone., mineral raw material or glass fibre reinforced high-tensile concrete. Thanks to the variety of the fixing technology the interchange of different materials, designs and colors allows the architect to realize convertible effects. Continual the KEIL undercut anchor stays and carries invisible in the background and carries the burden of weight, wind and weather. Additionally the undercut technology offers economical advantages. Besides long life and little maintenance cleaning costs can be reduced because dirt streaks belong to the past due to the backside fixing.
