MOVEKLIP™ is an innovative solution engineered to accommodate floor-line deflection movement without the complexity of traditional slotted connection systems. Its hook-and-clamp design allows cladding panels to move independently with the structure, eliminating the need for visible panel joints at every floor line while maintaining system performance.
Designed with both architects and installers in mind, MOVEKLIP™ simplifies installation by removing the need for specialty hardware, field modifications or precision adjustments often associated with movement joints. Compatible with standard vertical PANELRAIL® and a wide variety of cladding materials, MOVEKLIP™ provides design freedom, greater installation efficiency and dependable long-term performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions About MOVEKLIP™ Floor Line Deflection Clip?
Technical and installation guidance based on the supplied product content.
What is KWS® MOVEKLIP™?
KWS® MOVEKLIP™ is a pre-engineered deflection clip designed to accommodate movement at floor lines in façade systems. It helps create cleaner exterior panel layouts by reducing floor-by-floor panel joints and pairs with PANELRAIL® to create a sliding connection between floor lines.
How does MOVEKLIP™ accommodate floor deflection?
MOVEKLIP™ allows cladding systems to move with floor deflection while maintaining a clean, reliable attachment approach. Its hook-and-clamp design simplifies movement accommodation without slotted connections.
Can MOVEKLIP™ eliminate panel joints between floors?
Yes. MOVEKLIP™ is designed to eliminate panel joints one floor at a time, enabling more seamless façade designs across building elevations.
What types of cladding are compatible with MOVEKLIP™?
MOVEKLIP™ may be used with any primary subframing or cladding support system, including competitors’ systems, as long as the secondary system is vertical PANELRAIL®.
Does MOVEKLIP™ work with PANELRAIL®?
Yes. MOVEKLIP™ is designed to work with vertical PANELRAIL®.
Does MOVEKLIP™ require slotted connections, special fasteners or field modifications?
No. MOVEKLIP™ does not require slotted connections, special bolts, polymers, special tools, fabrication or field modifications.
How does MOVEKLIP™ reduce installation errors?
Its simple hook-and-clamp components replace more error-prone slotted connections and overtightened bolts or screws, improving installation consistency.
Is MOVEKLIP™ non-combustible?
Yes. MOVEKLIP™ is a 100% non-combustible connection made from domestic steel with a zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating.
