KeraTwin K3 + K12
Small-size facade cladding panels -- Rain-screen System, quick & easy to install

The system KeraTwin K3 was specially developed for the quick and simple, invisible fastening of low-rise and large buildings and renovation projects. KeraTwin offers 30 glazed and 6 unglazed colors in an open joint/back-ventilated rain-screen system favored by international architects. The system has been proven in Europe since the early 80’s. With its terra-cotta/earthy tones panels it creates a warm and inviting facade.

  • Rapid and safe mounting with well planned system components, eight-weight construction.
  • Increased protection against driving rain.
  • Suitable for use in combination with commercially available back-up systems.
  • All glazed surfaces of the KeraTwin facade panels can be furnished with the HYDROTECT upgrading.
  • Light-weight facade panels
  • The system offers superb design freedom for cladding, existing structures and/or new building facades.

System Description:
The KeraTwin K3 facade panels have notches on the back and are simply hung into the aluminum channel mounted to the grid. The horizontal channels in turn are mounted on a commercially available vertical base construction. The horizontal channel is an integral part of the complete system and precisely adjusted to the panel elements. The facade panels are secured by stainless steel compression springs installed between the channel and the ceramic panels preventing the panels from moving or clattering.
