What Makes Leo-Klip So Special?

This new fastening system is designed to meet the growing demands of modern construction. Leo-Klip increases allowable span lengths by up to 40% in single-span applications, significantly reducing the need for secondary support steel. This means faster installation times, lower material use, and a streamlined construction process – all key factors that can help cut down both time and costs on any project.

The fastening system is available in two configurations:

●     Leo-Klip: Delivers up to a 20% increase in span.

●     Leo-Klip+: Offers up to a 40% increase, depending on the steel gauge and support conditions.

Key Benefits of the Leo-Klip Fastening System:

●     Extended Spans: Achieve a 19-40% increase in allowable spans, reducing the need for additional secondary supports.

●     Seamless Integration: Works seamlessly with Kingspan’s KS Series and Optimo® panels, ensuring a smooth integration into a variety of building projects.

●     Streamlined Installation: The one-clip solution for both intermediate and end supports simplifies the installation process, saving valuable time.

●     Labor Savings: Minimized back-fastening means fewer man-hours, reducing both time and labor costs.

●     No Compromise on Performance: The Leo-Klip system does not impact the air, water, vapor or thermal performance of the panel assemblies, maintaining the same high standards for insulation and building envelope integrity.
