The Simplicity Of Keku Wall Panel Fixings

Have you ever gone in a modern office block or perhaps a shop and wondered what sort of wall panels appear to have nothing holding them to the wall? Often there are  fake brick wall panels  or connectors visible which can be holding these to the wall. So how is that this effect achieved?
A period of time ago achieving this effect could have been unthinkable and also you could have found some form of visible fixing at the pinnacle and bottom in the wall panels holding them on to the wall behind, but this did look unsightly unless the screws heads were filled over.
However in filling them in you had two problems, firstly receiving a colour match using the filler was very difficult. Secondly if you filled them in that made the panels very difficult to remove in a big hurry, that may be considered a problem if you required to arrive at any electrical equipment or water pipes sat behind them in a hurry.
One German company recognised the necessity to use a wall panel fixing system that allowed panels to get firmly fixed with a wall without having visible fixings showing, but additionally allowed them to be released quickly in the event from the need to have a panel off. This has proved being an idea that shop fitters love using mainly because it gives a real clean look.
The Keku wall panel system works very merely by having lightweight aluminium "I" cross section beams that are like mini RSJ beams healthy. These come pre-drilled with holes and so are screwed towards the real wall.
A load bearing frame component will then be attached towards the beam as well as the relevant panel component attached to the panel, this then means the panel may then be slid into place with the panel component clipping directly into place with the frame component. This forms a link, which in essence locks the panel to the wall, but simply by sliding the panel upwards the constituents break releasing the panel.
The undeniable fact that the beams come pre-drilled for ease of assembly includes that this frame components may be attached for the beams in a wide selection of heights. This in turn allows a lot of flexibility when hanging the wall panels.
The result is wall panel fixings that could be fixed firmly, but invisibly in position but accommodate an extremely high dimensional accuracy, with gaps that are precise, yet might be varied in width.
