As we have learned from our previous blog about honeycomb structures, they are lightweight, fire resistant, easy to install, rigid withstanding and absorbing impact. Honeycombs are made up of different composite materials to accommodate different areas of construction and can be used in the marine industry, wind industry, and even the aerospace industry. The idea of these panels and its major advantage is the ventilation achieved. 

We are now taking the next step toward understanding how our KEEP-NUT™ and Deform-Nut anchoring systems can be used with honeycomb paneling. These are concealed anchoring systems used on different façade cladding. For instance, consider the rainscreen attachment systems on the market. Rainscreens provide limitless design options for building façades while controlling moisture and reducing energy consumption. These systems create energy efficiency and sustainably reduce long-term energy costs and increase savings for building operations. They also possess a LEED certification when using recyclable materials and are versatile when mounting cladding of any type, saving cost and ongoing headache.

These ventilated facades are popular systems in architecture and there are no limits creating them, whether the project requires a modern or traditional feel. When it comes to aesthetics, there is simply no compromise. No matter what cladding materials you’re using, such as natural stone, concrete fiber cement, HPL, or crystallized glass, behind it all is a need for a mechanical concealed anchoring system.

This is where our KEEP-NUT™ anchoring system and Deform-Nuts come into play in this industry. Chemical Concepts is making giant leaps in the market. The machinery, namely our KEEP-NUT™ machine, is fast and saves time onsite. Our anchors are small and pack a punch; they can be used in nearly all dense substrates which is more universal than our competitors, including the cost.

The next phase of attaching these wall panels is sealing.  Chemical Concepts is proposing the use of our MS-35 and ECO-Flex 9500 both hybrid silicones that are high strength. Stay tuned as we continue our research and bring more information to you soon! Questions about our KEEP-NUT™ anchors? Our representatives are here to help!
