Engineered for Performance

  • ✓ Rear-Ventilated System: Circulating air behind the tiles forms a protective barrier against corrosion, extending the life of the boiler tube wall.
  • ✓ Precision Joint Sealing: Profiled joints and mortar-filled expansion gaskets seal the system's front face, enhancing thermal integrity and reduce air losses.
  • ✓ Fast, Flexible Installation: A wide anchor groove enables quick adjustment, while the advanced T-Clip® metal anchor system ensures a secure fit – even on misaligned walls.
  • ✓ Built-In Air Cushion: A controlled air gap creates a protective buffer zone that reduces thermal and chemical stress on the tube wall.
  • ✓ Optimized Design: The system’s lightweight tiles and 2-tube, single-fixing layout make handling, fitting, and maintenance more efficient than ever.
