MOVEKLIP™ Eliminates Panel Joints, Facilitating Floor Deflection Movement in Cladding
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Deer Park, WA – May 12, 2025 – Knight Wall Systems today announced the launch of MOVEKLIP™ (patent pending), a proprietary, pre-engineered deflection clip that enables designers to eliminate panel joints floor by floor, while seamlessly facilitating floor deflection movement.
“MOVEKLIP revolutionizes façade panel design and installation while reducing guesswork and errors,” Knight Director of Sales, Engineering & Marketing Brian Nelson said. “And it works with a diverse array of panel products.”
MOVEKLIP’s hook and “clamp” clips require no slotted connections or other special fabrication, which translates to reduced installation errors, while its simple, installer-centered design enhances productivity. This eliminates overtightened bolts or screws and the need for special tools; installation is effortless, reliable, and compatible with standard KWS® PANELRAIL® and diverse claddings such as fiber cement, HPL, and metal panels among others.
With a design that precludes the need for special bolts, polymers, or field modifications, MOVEKLIP accommodates virtually unlimited floor movement while simplifying every step of the process. Additionally, the connection is 100% non-combustible, ensuring unmatched safety and fire resistance for every project.
Other notable MOVEKLIP advantages include:
- No slotted connections reduce the risk of installation errors
- No overtightened connections help to ensure proper installation and performance
- Simple, installer-centered design enhances productivity and reliability
- Compatible with standard KWS PANELRAIL and multiple cladding types, including fiber cement, HPL, and metal panels
- No special bolts, fasteners, polymers, or washers are required for installation
- No special tools, fabrication, or field modifications are necessary
- Allows virtually unlimited floor movement
- Made of 100% domestic steel with zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating for durability and resiliency
