Universal Stone Cladding System V.Clip ©
With visible or invisible clips holding various types of skins or facings - clipped stone - ceramic - terracota - compact laminated - glass derivatives - glass cement composite - aluminium polyethylene composite - etc. upon request. 
The Support System Components 1 - The V-Clip fasten in spring-steel stainless-quality pinching tightly the facing material to the rail. 2 - The horizontal rail in aluminium holding the facade elements via the V-Clips. 3 - Intermediate wedge at each rail anchors, on directly the supporting wall or any type of framework. The V-Clip system has received a favourable Technical Notice from the French CSTB (Scientific and Technical Building Centre) in 1997, revised in 2004 under the reference n° 2 / 04 - 1080. The GEMM Developpement company distributes worldwide the above components according to the facing material you wish to deploy in your construction. If required, we can also provide you with a vast array of fine natural stone or glass derivatives wall pavements. The keys of the V-Clip system Flexibility thanks to the dedicated pliers allowing to move laterally the V-Clips, that pinch back firmly the stone and rail as soon as released. The elastic support between stone and rail does not have any hard point, that being a warranty of the cladding durability. The V-Clip system is the only grooved mineral stone support technology rated Normal Risk by the French Insurance Companies Committee - Assemblée Plénière des Sociétés d'Assurance Dommage (List 69 - Le Moniteur dated 20/02/1998). 
This elasticity provides an unmatched resistance to earthquakes making is specially dedicated for seismic sensitive regions. The replacement of a concrete wall by a metallic or wooden framework - more efficient thermically - is a cost saving solutions that often allows spending on better quality pavement. Main specifications Chock resistance for a V-Clipped 2 cm thick stone largely superior than a 3 cm fixed according to the DTU 55.2. Safety ratios, in regards to wind influence, are compresied between 6 and 8, when it can be only 2 accourding to the same DTU 55.2. 
- Rated as Normal risk by French Insurance Companies (list APSAD N°69 published in the
Moniteur dated 20 February 1998) : there is neither mandatory building-site declaration nor
additional insurance premium required.
- Dismantability and replacement as-identical, element by element, thanks to the special pliers (a unique performance on the market). - Very extensive choice of paving materials that can be mixed on a single building facade. - Possibility of 2 cm stone joining, the bottom of the join being closed by the aluminium rail, of plain or painted finish. - Allows easy integration of new pavings. - Very competitive by the reduction of time required to deploy.
