What is Rai-fix System?
It is a mechanical system for suspending and installing tiles and panels of various thicknesses—such as ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone of all types—ranging from 5 mm to 12 mm in thickness and with XXL dimensions of up to approximately 300×60 cm on the exterior and interior facades of buildings in a concealed manner, reinforced
with a chemical adhesive (Polyurethane).
This system provides a durable and elegant solution for installing facades without any visible elements on the exterior surface, giving the facade a modern look and durability.
The system can be installed in two ways:
• Installation on vertical rails (T-Rails) to allow for rear ventilation of the wall (stack effect).
• Direct installation on the wall.

Components of the Rai-fix System
- #1 - Brackets
These are the system’s anchor points on the wall; they are secured to the wall using roll bolts and attached to the vertical rails with screws and a curved sub-component that secures the vertical profiles.
- #2 - Vertical Rails ( T and L rails)
Rails installed vertically and parallel to the wall surface to distribute weight evenly.
- #3 - Rai-fix Clips Items
These are the metal components that support the panels and are typically made of stainless steel.
They are installed with the panel after a groove is cut into its back.

Installation Method for the Rai-fix System
Features of the Rai-fix System
- A fully concealed fastening system.
- Easy to maintain, as any panel or tile can be easily removed without breaking.
- Safe, as it reduces the risk of tiles falling compared to traditional adhesive-only installation.
- High stability due to the chemical bond (silicone).
- High resistance to weather, wind, and vibration.
- Allows for rear ventilation between the panel and the wall.
Where is the Rai-fix System used?
- On facades composed of large tiles or panels (1 x 3 m)
- For cladding the exterior facades of commercial buildings, malls, and modern villas.
- On facades that utilize rear-ventilation systems.
