ADJUSTAKLIP™ is a highly adjustable, thermally improved cladding support system engineered for projects requiring significant in-and-out adjustment to accommodate uneven substrates and demanding construction tolerances. Featuring an innovative rail-to-bracket connection with up to 1½ inches of adjustment, the system allows installers to quickly establish a straight, plumb façade while creating the ventilated cavity required for a high-performance rainscreen assembly.
Designed for versatility, ADJUSTAKLIP™ installs over steel studs, wood studs, CMU, and concrete, with pre-punched wall anchor holes that simplify installation. Compatible with a wide range of cladding materials—including metal panels, fiber cement, ACM, and terra cotta—the system provides architects and contractors with a flexible solution that improves thermal performance while reducing installation complexity.

*Spacing of components varies by project based on project specific conditions. Maximum allowable spacing and dead load (weight of cladding) is based on the total load (dead + live) acting on the assembly and connections. Depending on the system, insulation thickness will influence the systems capacities.
Wall anchors must be specified and supplied by KWS for an extended written limited warranty. KWS will specify the exact anchor type, embedment depth and spacing for anchors in project specific engineering packages. ThermaStop thermal isolation washers must be used on all types of wall anchors with the HCI or CI System, regardless of the substrate.
