Extruded Porcelain Kerf System with EPDM

This concealed mechanical system is designed for 20 mm extruded porcelain tiles with factory-formed edge grooves. Tiles are secured via continuous horizontal aluminum profiles and a rear EPDM strip, which cushions against vibrations and allows for system flexibility.Ideal for horizontal tile installations, the system delivers a clean, fastener-free finish with precise alignment. As a dry mechanical method, it eliminates the need for adhesives, reducing environmental impact. Engineered for wind resistance, thermal expansion, and structural stress, it ensures long-term performance and joint stability.

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. Extruded Porcelain Tiles 20 mm thick tiles with factory-integrated full-width edge grooves
  10. EPDM gasket hidden on the back of the tile to absorb vibrations and adjust minor tolerances.
