K2 Systems is expanding its portfolio of façade systems and presenting the new K2 PerfoRail M. This clever solution allows PV modules to be installed on concrete facades with existing thermal insulation without having to cut open the insulation material. This is where the RDS-CA spacer screw from Reisser comes in, as it reliably fixes in the concrete, compensates for unevenness and is suitable for different insulation thicknesses. The connection is made via K2 PerfoRail M, which is already perforated accordingly so that the screw can be easily attached. The system is complemented by K2 InsertionRail, which allows the modules to be installed quickly and easily and gives the PV system an aesthetic appearance.
At The smarter E Europe that is coming to a close as we speak, K2 Systems celebrated its 20th anniversary by showcasing more than a dozen optimised products and digital tools. Here are the five key innovations, but watch this space, we will go into greater detail soon!
