ThermoDrive V2 from Klimas is a new generation series of universal fasteners for a wide range of ETICS systems, which can be used to fix different thicknesses of insulation up to 40cm.
Combining the advantages of its well known predecessors, the WKTHERM-S series and the ECO-DRIVE series, Klimas states its ThermoDrive V2 fasteners are high-quality, easy to install and achieve the maximum possible values of pull-out load capacity. Another important feature is their versatility of use, as they are suitable for the installation of thermal insulation systems using polystyrene foam, mineral wool or wood wool.
Thanks to their properties and innovative design, ThermoDrive V2 fasteners are ideal for fixing insulation materials to substrates made of concrete, solid ceramic brick, ceramic hollow block, lightweight aggregate elements and cellular concrete, as well as for fixing ETICS systems. Regardless of the chosen installation method, the fasteners can be used to fix different thicknesses of insulation up to more than 40cm.
In addition, the ThermoDrive V2 features a wide range of tolerance to uneven substrates to help ensure effective installation in each application. This significantly improves and speeds up work on the project, as the fasteners can be used across a variety of substrates. As well as this, the design of the 25mm to 65mm anchorage zone helps to guarantee reliable jamming of the fasteners, even in hollow materials with voids inside or thin walls of the internal structure of the masonry element.
Durability and safety of the insulation systems are also increased thanks to the sleeve of the fasteners, which have been designed so that the screwed-in steel pin, enabling the attachment of the insulation layer, is sufficiently isolated. As a result, ThermoDrive V2 is characterised by a minimum point heat transfer coefficient, where the value for ThermoDrive V2 mounted in a recessed manner is 0.001W/K and applies regardless of the thickness of the attached insulation.
