The way to the top – industry leader as a matter of principle

The JT4-LT-XT-3H self-drilling screw is ideal for fastening flat aluminium composite panels to aluminium substructures. A VARIO self-drilling screw is used for pre-punched stainless steel or aluminium wall brackets on aluminium support profiles or to form sliding and fixed points on substructures. Another indispensable classic in the EJOT rear-ventilated facade portfolio is the insulation support anchor DH for fastening insulating materials to all substrates.

Flat roof In flat roofing the focus is on fasteners and installation tools for the efficient attachment of insulation and waterproofing membranes to flat roofs and slightly sloping roofs. Depending on the substrate there are different fastening materials available,

The core product in the flat roofing area is the HTK-2G tube washer in connection with our roofing screw (Dabo®) TKR/TKE for securing roofing membranes on substructures made of steel trapezoidal profile, wood and wood-based materials. Both products are available in numerous lengths for a wide range of requirements. The JBS-R/EcoTek combination of a tube washer and a concrete screw is ideally suited for installing gradient insulation on concrete.

In addition to product development and the optimisation of materials and manufacturing processes in the flat roof area, cooperation with manufacturers of roofing membranes and system tests are particularly important.

Industrial window and facade technology The window and glass facade technology area deals with high-quality fastening elements for window and door production and their assembly. The portfolio also includes fasteners for use in aluminium/glass facade systems. Also in this business field the product development focuses on more and more complex window constructions. The most essential difference of this field in comparison to the above mentioned fields is the industrial application of the products, for example by automated fastening. The EJOT frame anchor is our fastening solution for window and door assembly. Our frame anchors have proof of burglary-resistant installation according to RC 2 and have also been tested as

Fastening systems for solar installations EJOT offers a large number of high-quality fastening solutions for the correct and secure fastening of solar installations. The product portfolio includes approved fasteners for the assembly of photovoltaic installations on the roof as well as for the assembly of the installations on open spaces.

In the solar business the EJOT Solar Fastenings are the core product. Depending on the requirements for special applications, further fasteners have been developed in the solar business, which usefully supplement the existing EJOT standard range. The EJOFAST® screw JF3-2-5.5x25 is often used in the solar sector for reduced swarf fastening. Due to the reduced formation of drilling chips, the risk of corrosion is minimised and cleaning work is no longer necessary. The material displacement during the assembly process also ensures increased load-carrying capacity. The screw can be used in many ways, e.g. for the direct attachment of support profiles or for connecting individual assembly components.

Metal and chemical anchors The fields of application for metal and chemical anchoring technology are versatile, and the respective requirements for the fastening solutions are just as different. Whether for fastening balcony or stair railings or for installing large machines – EJOT products ensure safety and always have high load-bearing capacity values.

The broad product portfolio includes solutions for mechanical installation in non-cracked and cracked concrete as well as chemical and thus expansion pressure-free products for heavy-duty

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) EJOT offers comprehensive system accessories for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems in the areas of anchors, mounting elements and profiles. Together with the cross-segment 360° service, this results in a complete offer tailored to the needs of our partners. Only available from EJOT.

Anchors The range includes special anchors for fixing insulation in external wall insulation systems.

The ejotherm® STR U screw anchor has been the absolute master product in this business area for many years, thanks to its countersunk installation to avoid anchor marks on the facade and its universal field of application. But existing products are also continuously developed at EJOT. The STR U 2G has recently been supplemented with the possibility of use in insulated ceiling soffits. With the all-rounder ejotherm® STR U 2G, EJOT is the only anchor manufacturer to offer approval-compliant solutions for all areas of application in ETICS. In addition, the product segment was expanded to include another specialist: the ejotherm® S1 short was specially developed for the use of particularly thin insulation boards. It impresses with a short under-head area and a short installation depth. The innovative ejotherm S1 tool enables an optimal setting position and a high level of assembly comfort Mounting elements EJOT offers a wide portfolio of mounting elements for securely fastening attachments to external thermal insulation composite systems.

With the Iso Team, EJOT has compiled a product group for the planned and subsequent fastening of attachments to ETICS facades which offers a solution to all fastening problems. For all products in the business area, the focus is on thermal bridge-optimised embedment and reliable sealing to protect against the ingress of moisture. The EJOT Iso-Corner mounting bracket for the planned fastening of, for example, French balconies to floor-to-ceiling windows reduces thermal bridges through thermal decoupling and therefore offers real added value compared to conventional steel solutions. In addition, the product was the first mounting element for attachments on the German market to receive zero carbon house certification. The EJOT Iso-Bar is the right choice for subsequent and therefore particularly flexible fastening of marquees, for example. Its material enables a low thermal bridge effect with a high bearing load at the same time. Thanks to the supplied seal, it permanently seals the facade against the ingress of moisture. The product range is completed with the EJOT Iso-Bar ECO, a thermally separated fastening element for subsequent and therefore flexible fastening on thermally insulated facades. This product, which won the DETAIL Product Award, is based on the EJOT IsoBar and enables the flexible and user-friendly installation of cable systems for facade greening in connection with all the known advantages.

Profiles With the EJOT® Pro-Line profiles, EJOT offers profiles for high-quality plaster connections. EJOT Pro-Line profiles are ideal for precise edge formation, for permanently driving rainproof, flexible component connections in ETIC systems and much more. Reveal beads with mesh represent the transition between the facade surface and building openings such as windows and doors. Different movements of the plaster shell and the window occur at these transitions, for example due to temperature-related effects. These movements have to be taken up by the reveal beads with mesh in order to enable a permanent, driving rain-tight connection of the components. The membrane technology of the EJOT Pro-Line Giga Flex profiles enables an even better three-dimensional movement for the highest requirements, e.g. for windows built into the insulating material or with large windows. The new Giga Flex slim reveal bead with mesh impresses with its narrow construction width of 7 mm and the resulting wide range of applications with simultaneous high movement absorption. The same applies to the roller shutter connection profile RAP Giga Flex slim. It ensures a uniform plaster application even with thin and medium-layer systems. Another plus point: flush mounting on the roller shutter guide rail is now even easier thanks to the stop leg. E
