The small-size facade panels KeraTwin K3 have grooves on the back and are simply hung in the supporting rails mounted in the grid. These supporting rails in turn are mounted on a commercially available vertical base construction by means of format specific distance jigs.
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).
