Extruded Porcelain Kerf System

This concealed fixing system is tailored for 20 mm extruded porcelain tiles with factory-integrated full-width grooves. Horizontal aluminum profiles insert directly into tile kerfs, creating a seamless, hardware-free façade appearance.Ideal for applications requiring clean lines and durability, the system supports horizontal or vertical installation and works with various substructure profiles. Pre-grooved tiles reduce prep time while ensuring precise engagement. As a dry mechanical system, it eliminates adhesives, shortens construction timelines, and improves environmental performance—maintaining joint alignment and long-term structural stability under wind and thermal stress.

Component Breakdown

  1. Structural Support Wall: Concrete, CMU, or framed substrate (not supplied)
  2. Waterproofing Layer: Moisture protection for the wall assembly (not supplied)
  3. Thermal Insulation: Placed behind substructure for improved energy efficiency (not supplied)
  4.  Mechanical Anchors: Fix aluminum brackets to the supporting wall
  5.  Thermal Break Pads: Reduce thermal bridging and prevent galvanic reactions
  6. Aluminum Brackets: L-shaped, used to define cavity depth and support vertical profiles
  7. Vertical Aluminum Profiles: L- or T-shaped profiles supporting horizontal kerf fixings
  8. Kerf Continuous Profiles: Horizontal profiles inserted into upper and lower tile grooves for concealed fixing
  9. Porcelain Tiles : 20 mm thick tiles with factory-integrated full-width edge grooves
