St. Regis Hotel, SingaporeAlternatives for connoisseurs.
Developed as an economical and design alternative to the KerAion facade systems, the KeraTwin® system is convincing by architectural flexibility and visual variety. And the joints are realized in such a way that the construction is optimally protected against driving rain. Now, the system KeraTwin® K20 with its new, innovative T-profile K20 ensures an even more rapid and simpler installation: as the fastenings for the ceramic panel are already integrated in the T-profile, only one single profile remains to be aligned and mounted. Flexible, low-cost installation also on problematic bases is guaranteed by the “Omega” profile variant, which permits, among other things, the free planning of the panel lengths. In addition, well thought-out system components ensure a time-saving installation in the case of sophisticated project solutions. Standard panel thicknesses at all formats and the low own weight facilitate the transport and the handling.

Bouwhuis, Zoetermeer, NetherlandsGreat variety
Surfaces with a three-dimensional structure can make large facades less monotonous and lend an entire building a distinctive character. No matter whether undulated structure, sine wave, stripy pattern, chared or grooved panel – whether laid continuously or in rhythmic change: with the variety of their attractive surfaces, our ceramic facade systems ensure a perfect look everywhere.

Fastening with vertical system rail K20
System description
The KeraTwin® K20 facade panels are simply hung in the vertical system rail with the holding grooves on the reverse side. For mounting the panels, no additional tools are required. The compression spring and removal protection integrated in the system rail prevents clattering and constraining forces in the case of alternating wind loads and also the easy removal of panels. The position of the panels is secured either by means of a joint profile adjusted to the joint width or by means of spacers.
KeraTwin® K20 – Fastening with vertical system rail K20Essential system advantages
- Rapid and simple panel installation with well thought-out system components
- The low panel weight of 32 kg/m² facilitates transport and handling and also permits the use in case of a statically demanding building structure
- Extensive range of accessories for various details such as e.g. corner solutions, etc.
- Execution with joint profile is possible
- Great design scope thanks to a wide variety of sizes with standard panel thickness
- The general approval of the construction supervisory authority, the “Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik”, Berlin, has been applied for
Fastening with vertical T-profile K20
System description
The KeraTwin® K20 facade panels are simply hung in the vertical T-profile K20 with the holding grooves on the reverse side. For mounting the panels, no additional tools are required. The compression spring and removal protection integrated in the T-profile K20 prevents clattering and constraining forces in the case of alternating wind loads and also the easy removal of panels. The position of the panels is secured either by means of profile types adjusted to the joint width or by means of spacers for closed or open vertical joints.
KeraTwin® K20 – Fastening with vertical T-profile K20Essential system advantages
- Rapid and simple panel installation with well thought-out system components
- More rapid and cheaper installation of the substructure thanks to fewer individual components
- The low panel weight of 32 kg/m² facilitates transport and handling and also permits the use in case of a statically demanding building structure
- Execution with closed or open vertical joints is possible
- Great design scope thanks to a wide variety of sizes with standard panel thickness
- General approval of the construction supervisory authority by “Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik”, Berlin: no. Z-33.1-1175
Fastening with vertical Omega profile K20
System description
The Omega profile stands out due to its simple and efficient installation on difficult bases such as e.g. walls with post and beam construction. Horizontal bearing profiles are fixed at the posts. The vertical Omega profiles can then be arranged independent of the distance between the posts, and the panel lengths can be freely planned. The complex system structure with dowel, wall bracket and vertical bearing profile is not required. The subsequent laying of the ceramics is carried out as in the case of the system rail K20. The KeraTwin® K20 facade panels are simply hung in the vertical Omega profile with the holding grooves on the reverse side. No additional tools are required for mounting the panels. The compression spring and removal protection integrated in the Omega profile prevents clattering and constraining forces in the case of alternating wind loads and also the easy removal of panels. The position of the panels is secured either by means of a joint profile adjusted to the joint width or by means of spacers.
KeraTwin® K20 – Fastening with vertical Omega profile K20Essential system advantages
- Rapid and simple panel installation with well thought-out system components
- Efficient installation on difficult wall constructions such as e.g. post and beam construction
- Free planning of the panel lengths without restriction by project-specific constructional conditions (vertical posts)
- The low panel weight of 32 kg/m² facilitates transport and handling and also permits the use in case of a statically demanding building structure
- Extensive range of accessories for various details such as e.g. corner solutions, etc.
- Execution with joint profile is possible
- Great design scope thanks to a wide variety of colours, surfaces and sizes with standard panel thickness
- Usability following the general approval of the construction supervisory authority, the “Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik”, Berlin, for KeraTwin® K20: no. Z-33.1 – 1175
Fastening with clamp system K20
System description
The KeraTwin® K20 facade panels are fixed by means of the clamps K20, which laterally engage with the channels of the facade panel. The compression spring integrated in the clamps prevents clattering and constraining forces in the case of alternating wind loads.
KeraTwin® K20 – Fastening with clamp system K20Essential system advantages
- Rapid and proven panel installation with well thought-out system components

Important:
The use of silicone caoutchoucs must be absolutely avoided, because silicone fluids segregate and effect sticky surfaces on which dirt adheres. Therefore, only use the system components mentioned (foamed pieces, EPDM rubber profile, neoprene rubber washer) and pointing, bonding and sealing materials recommended by us. We will be pleased to inform you in detail. The usual final cleaning after completion of the construction works is still required.
