LT-TD System
A revolution in the visible fastening of
rainscreen facade claddings
Bringing it together.
Fastening elements for facade claddings
LT-TD System
With the LT-TD system, EJOT has revolutionised the
visible fastening of rainscreen facade cladding:
TD (thermal distance) means thermal decoupling by
creating a 3.0 millimetre air gap between the facade
cladding and the substructure.
This additional rear ventilation within the rainscreen
facade interrupts the heat flow from the inside of the
building to the panel surface and ensures that the
facade dries evenly. The result is a durable, attractive
facade without marking of the substructure.
Hexalobular drive TX25
Very flat screw head
(2 mm) for aesthetic
facade design
Head diameter (16 mm)
to cover large
pre-drill diameters
Shaft diameter (5 mm)
guarantees a relative displacement (dilation) of 3 mm in all
directions at sliding points
Stop collar controls the exact setting
depth for a defin
ed clamping range,
ensures vertical alignment and optimum sliding points and increases the
contact surface of the TD grommets
between the facade panel and
substructure
Thread-free area
prevents destruction of
the female thread in the
substructure

The operating principle – the details make the difference
Standard system
Thermal coupling
Angled screw connection
Ventilation grille narrow point
Direct contact of the support profile
with the facade cladding leads to
weather-related markings of the
profile positions on the surface of
the facade cladding.
A non-perpendicular screw connection can have a negative effect
on the sliding point and cause the
facade cladding to break.
The corner areas of the facade
cladding are particularly sensitive.
The attachment points of ventilation
grilles and end profiles can generate
stresses and cause the facade
cladding to break.
Thermal decoupling
Perpendicular screw
connection
Space for ventilation grille
LT-TD system
The support profile has a 3 mm
gap to the facade cladding and
is therefore
thermally decoupled.
The surface of the façade cladding
remains visually appealing in the
long term.
The perpendicular alignment of
the screw guarantees an optimum
sliding point with a relative displacement (dilation) of 3 mm in all
directions.
The attachment points of ventilation
grilles and end profiles have no contact with the facade cladding due to
the second rear ventilation level.
Perpendicular orientation with guarantee:
The stop collar
To ensure that screws can be screwed into components, their threads
naturally have a slope from the tip towards the screw head. If the threads
meet the component, the screw tends to tilt parallel to the course of the
threads. This inclined position means that the sliding points cannot be
optimally executed and therefore optimum sliding of the facade cladding is
not possible. The stop collar of the LT-TD screws counteracts this problem
and automatically aligns the screws perpendicular when they hit the stop
collar on the substructure. This gu
arantees perfectly executed sliding points.

Insert LT-TD grommet
The grommet is inserted at a slight angle into the factory-made
drill hole in the facade cladding. The snap-on feet are pressed
together and pushed into the drill hole with a tilting movement.
Lock grommet
The grommet is pushed through the drilled hole until the snapon feet on the back of the facade cladding protrude and snap
into place. This way the grommet is securely locked in the
facade cladding.
Position LT-TD screw
The centering ring of the grommet is used to position the screw
exactly in the center of the drill hole. The LT/STS tool ensures
reliable screw guidance.
Fastening operation
Swarf is produced during screw fastening, which can be
discharged through the air gap between the cladding and the
substr
ucture.
Stop collar
The screw is screwed in up to the stop collar. This controls
the exact setting depth for a defined clamping area, ensures
perpendicular alignment of the screw and increases the contact
surface of the grommet between the facade panel and substructure.
Installation complete
For the fixed point (1.6), collets of the grommet enclose the
fastener shank and ensure a tight fit of the cladding. The sliding
point (2.6) ensures relative displacement (dilatation) of 3 mm in
all directions.
