L-Type Aluminum Alloy Cladding Clip

The L-Type Aluminum Alloy Cladding Clip is a fixed-gap mechanical fixing component designed for exterior ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and other architectural cladding panels. Its integrated L-shaped profile provides both panel support and a consistent joint width between adjacent panels.

Compared with a conventional T-Welding Angle Bracket, the L-Type Cladding Clip has a specially designed spacer section that controls the gap between the upper and lower panels, helping installers achieve a more uniform and visually consistent facade.

Fixed-Gap Design

The key feature of the L-Type Cladding Clip is its integrated fixed-gap structure.

Unlike a conventional angle bracket, where the joint width is largely determined by the thickness of the bracket itself, the L-Type Cladding Clip uses a dedicated spacer profile to maintain a predetermined gap.

Three standard configurations are available:

• 7 mm gap
• 8 mm gap
• 10 mm gap

The 7 mm and 10 mm versions use a raised support section to establish the required gap.

The 8 mm version uses a full 8 mm spacer profile with a central cut-out. The opening reduces material consumption while maintaining the required structural profile.

How the L-Type Cladding Clip Works

The thin fixing plate of the clip is inserted into a prepared groove in the rear of the tile or cladding panel.

The bracket is then fixed to the supporting structure using the appropriate mechanical fastener. The integrated spacer section remains between adjacent panels and establishes the designed joint width.

This allows the installer to maintain a consistent gap during installation without relying solely on manual positioning.

The fixing plate is 1.1 mm thick, while the main L-type body is 1.8 mm thick.

Designed for Exterior Tile Cladding

The L-Type Cladding Clip is particularly suitable for exterior ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and quartz-based facade tiles, where maintaining a controlled joint can be important.

Exterior cladding is exposed to temperature changes and structural movement. Properly designed joints help accommodate thermal and other movements and reduce the risk of stress being transferred to the tile system. Movement-joint guidance for ceramic tile facades specifically emphasizes the need to account for temperature-induced expansion and contraction.

The fixed-gap design of the L-Type Cladding Clip helps maintain a consistent visual joint while providing a defined space between adjacent panels.

Important: The clip itself does not replace a properly designed movement-joint system. Joint width and movement-joint locations should still be determined according to the panel system, substrate and project requirements.

Material and Size Options

The L-Type Cladding Clip is manufactured from aluminum alloy.

Standard Specifications

• Main body thickness: 1.8 mm
• Insertion plate thickness: 1.1 mm
• Available joint widths: 7 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm

The three configurations are designed for different facade joint requirements.

Custom dimensions can be developed according to panel thickness, groove dimensions, required joint width and installation conditions.
