Applications and benefits
Fixade is a groundbreaking fastening system developed in close collaboration between Altaskifer, a renowned natural stone player, and Spilka, a specialist in innovative construction and fastening systems. This unique system utilises a modular rail system with clips, making the installation process both fast, efficient and safe, while maintaining high quality and aesthetic appeal.
Advantages of the Fixade system
Quick assembly
One of the most notable advantages of the Fixade system is its incredibly fast installation. By eliminating the need for screws in the tiles, installation can be carried out with clips that simply snap into the rails. This innovative design not only significantly reduces working time, but also minimises the risk of incorrect installation, which can occur with traditional fixing methods. Installers can therefore complete projects in less time, which is a great advantage for both tradesmen and customers.
Aesthetic flexibility
The Fixade system offers unparalleled aesthetic flexibility. Users can choose between concealed or exposed fixing, depending on the desired look and design preferences. For those who wish to further customize the look, exposed clips can be lacquered in a variety of colors, allowing for creativity and customization according to project specifications. This makes Fixade an ideal choice for both modern and traditional facades.
Long life
Another important aspect of the Fixade system is its impressive longevity. The system comes with a comprehensive 60-year warranty when used with Altaskifer, which is a testament to the quality and durability of the products. This warranty gives customers peace of mind and security, ensuring that their investment is protected over time, while reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.
Sustainable solution
The Fixade system is also a sustainable solution for modern buildings. The entire system is mechanical, meaning there is no need for glue or chemicals that could harm the environment. Tiles can be easily dismantled and reused when needed, reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable approach to construction. In addition, the steel parts in the system are recyclable, further contributing to a greener construction process.
Robust against climate
The Fixade system is designed to be robust and resistant to varying climatic conditions. It is thermally resistant, meaning it can handle temperature changes without deforming or being damaged. This eliminates the risk of rot damage, which can often occur with traditional fastening systems. This means that buildings equipped with the Fixade system can withstand the test of time and the challenges that the climate can bring.
Conclusion
Fixade provides a modern, durable and flexible facade solution that combines aesthetics, sustainability and ease of installation. With its innovative approach and focus on quality, Fixade is not only a choice for today's construction projects, but also an investment in future construction technology. The system is ideal for both new construction and renovation projects, and it offers unique opportunities for architects and designers who want to create impressive and lasting facades.
