Concealed Facade Safety & Technology

A KEIL Anchor consists of two parts: Anchor and matching bolt.

• KEIL Anchors are made from high quality A4 stainless steel.
• KEIL Anchor geometry matches the KEIL undercut hole and ensures a stress free attachment to the material.
• Extreme climate changes such as heat or freeze contribute to different expansion or shrinking of the cladding materials. While these factors can cause damage with traditional cladding systems, the “stress free fit” of the KEIL Anchor eliminates damage of the facade panel.

WIND, SEISMIC TESTING & EARTHQUAKE:

• Wind load factor depends on the density or hardness of the cladding material and substructure.
• KEIL anchors are tested in Europe with US Equipment.
• Prestigious buildings which have used the KEIL Technology have already survived earthquakes.
• Live Hurricane Test was performed- Hurricane IKE, 2005 did not harm new facade construction with ceramic porcelain tile (Houston, TX).
• The KEIL system passed several inspections in Dade County (Miami).
• The Buddha Church Teahouse building in Christchurch, NZ was shocked by earthquakes in 2010 and February 2011 where over 60 % of the old city buildings were heavily damaged or destroyed.
• The city of Santiago de Chile was impacted by an earthquake in 2009. Three Buildings in the City center and a Hospital with KEIL anchored facades have not been affected.
• Railway Station, Taiwan: The facade was complete intact after major earthquake.
