Construction Fixings

The German Energy Saving Ordinance requires efficient, environmentally sound thermal insulation for all heated buildings and, more recently, cooled buildings. Rear-ventilated rainscreen cladding combines this requirement with the possibility of finishing the building shell with a wide range of materials for aesthetic and/or technical reasons.

EuroTec GmbH supplies a wide variety of screws and fastening systems for construction materials and is able to provide solutions in the form of EiSYS-2 and FaçadeClip for use with suspended façades.

The EiSYS-2 screw from EuroTec is a façade/adjusting screw that is fastened to the building wall with a plug. The freely rotating threaded sleeve at the top of the screw allows the façade‘s substructure to be aligned parallel to the building wall. The advantages include cost savings and reduced assembly times. High loads can be transmitted through the framework screw connections even in the case of larger distances from the building wall. Full design freedom is maintained for the façade.

The FaçadeClip has many benefits, such as hidden fastening; use for façade timbers with a profile height of 57mm – 95mm; perfect constructive timber protection; ventilated façade system with spaced installation; and the façade timber‘s surface, that is exposed to the weather, remains undamaged.

The FaçadeClip also features an efficient and easy installation with the user simply placing it on the back with stopper and insert assembly screws – repeating the process on all façade boards displaced. Then the user screws the façade wood to the counter-lathe with the fixing screw. Next, the user simply inserts the next façade wood and screw on the top only with the fixing screw. The joint clearance is set automatically by the screw head of the fixing screw.
